Spillway

So here we go, our weak Mississippi lawmakers in Washington D.C. will sit on their hands and let the Army Corps of Engineers kill the Mississippi Sound again. This includes Bennie Thompson, too.

If it’s good for the goose ...

OK, if the citizen deported is not a citizen just because he’s married to a citizen, then let’s deport the First Lady. She is only a citizen by marriage.

History

To answer a question as to whether there was ever a Kroger store in Biloxi: There was a brand new Kroger building at 2363 Pass Road. It shut down in 1994, then became a Stein Mart. After that, it became what it is today: A Bargain Bins.

Arrived illegally

The El Salvadoran in question arrived to America illegally. He has been returned to where he should have been all along.

Maryland man

Keep saying he’s not a citizen. OK. Granted. But he had permission to remain here and was removed illegally. Even the administration admitted it. Even the ultra-conservative Supreme Court admitted it. If Clarence Thomas thinks a Republican has done wrong, you can be sure he has done wrong.

Our Constitution

What do you do with a president who has sworn to uphold the constitution but continually breaks this oath? All those Republicans thinking about their mid term elections should do some soul searching soon.

The dollar

Our president, who has bankrupted casinos, is playing a dangerous game with the dollar as the world’s dominant reserve currency. Pay less attention to the stock market and more attention to the bond market.
