Man in charge

Whether or not you agree with every decision, it’s nice to have someone in the Oval Office that is actually able to make decisions.

Trump’s America

Elon Musk demanded the resignation of the FAA director, which was given on Jan. 20.

Happy dolphins

Off the coast of California, a pod of dolphins were spotted by drones. Where the dolphins normally travel in groups of 15 to 30 there were 1,500 in this party pod, celebrating President Trump’s victory.

Different response

Let’s pray the Trump Administration will not ignore the bird flu outbreak the way they ignored COVID. Now is the time to act. Dust off President Obama’s playbook that he used for the West Nile virus. It worked.

All women

By the way, the new anti-trans executive order just declared the entire human population is female, because it claims our sex is determined at conception (ignoring the fact that the XY chromosome doesn’t develop until six weeks after conception).

Domestic violence

Once again, the Mississippi Legislature has shown that it is soft on crime when it comes to domestic violence. It failed to pass a bill that would make it a felony for second offenders.

High prices

To get elected, Donald Trump pledged relief for everyone from high prices and inflation on day one. Common sense should have told you that was bull. Even before inauguration he reversed and admitted prices may go up. He is too wrapped up in revenge politics to worry about the economy.
