Oh, come now. That’s only one out. Patrick Taylor has a whole batting order to face. He claims Trump is out with three strikes. (“Trump Has Not Met Expectations of His Supporters,” Northside Sun 12/12/26). OK, but we’re in only the second inning. I’m more than pleased with Trump’s performance after months and it’s a lot better than I thought it would be. There are inaccuracies coming out of Taylor’s hand and sloppy conflation of fact with fiction. Now Taylor is out of strikes and is beginning to throw only balls. My diagnosis: a debilitating case of TDS.

On Wednesday, November 12th, 2025, I attended a breakfast at the Hilton Hotel on County Line Road. It was sponsored by the Jackson Greater Chamber with Mississippi Senator Cindy Hyde Smith being the keynote speaker.

After a parent dies, children commonly wish they had asked more questions about their family’s history. Anyone who has ever had that wish would find Christine Kuehn’s new book, Family of Spies, more than just interesting.
In her case the questions came late in her father’s life. And, as it turned out, they were not just about her father’s fighting on Okinawa, the Japanese island where, at age 19, he survived a 1945 battle in which 12,000 Americans were killed. All he would say about that was that he was glad he survived.

Just recently I learned of a Mississippi float in the Tournament of Roses Parade.
That was exciting news, for all of us and especially for me.
I was fortunate to be a volunteer in Pat Frascogna’s project of a float in the parade on

Imagine facing arrest simply for posting sharp or critical comments online. Picture police at your door for expressing opposition to mass immigration. Envision a country where you could be imprisoned for years without a jury ever deciding your guilt.
This isn't dystopian fiction - it's the reality unfolding in Britain today, my former home and once part of the free world.

Read George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984 to get ready. His “Big Brother” system previews the pervasive government monitoring that’s coming.
China already uses powerful Big Brother technology to amplify power at home and abroad. Its surveillance technology helped identify and punish almost 900,000 officials last year, an Associated Press investigation found. Outside its borders, China used the technology to threaten wayward officials, dissidents and alleged criminals.

This one slipped away in a hurry. You may be thinking I am referring to the 2025 hunting season, though it is fleeting, I am talking about the past year in general. Everyone told me the older you get the faster the years pass, though we all know time is constant. They must know something though because we’re in a brand-new calendar year now. So, what went well for you in 2025 and what did not? We all have challenges, but what can we do to somewhat ensure that the new year will go as we hope it will?
