Sad

Sorry to see Dixie Newman lost the election. Guess she’s another victim of the DEI witch hunt. Thought Biloxi was more progressive, guess I was wrong.

Stop

Putting a nonsensical post at the top of the sound-off posts that is pro-Trump is partisan. Let the opinions speak for themselves without softening it up.

Remove Hegseth

The barrage of lies in this Administration has got to stop. Sec. Pete Hegseth is simply not qualified to lead the Department of Defense. His fingerprints are all over the classified texts he sent. Firing his staff and doubling down on his lies is beyond disturbing. His firing of Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. C.Q. Brown was atrocious. I served with Gen. Brown, and he was an outstanding and admired officer and fighter pilot. His firing shook the Pentagon. Gen. Brown’s replacement did not even meet the prerequisites for the position.

They weren’t immigrants

There was a fentanyl, meth, and illegal weapons bust in D’Iberville. Illegal immigrants are targeted, but DEA needs to look in rural America.

Spillway

I would hate to see the Bonnet Carre Spillway open like anyone else, but just what happened years ago before the spillway was built? The Mississippi River must have flooded thousands of times in the past, yet our seafood industry survived.

Moving up

For all the concern, the S&P 500 just closed up for the third straight day.

Go away

President Trump is the one who needs to go away. The economic problems you fantasized about President Biden created are coming. Not because of what Biden did, but because of what Trump is doing.
