Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.
Secret file
The revelations on Securix LLC, QJR LLC, HDI Solutions, Frontier Strategies, MS Public Safety Commission and numerous MS cities today by the Sun Herald weaves a web of political deals, contracts, private info being bought and sold, public officials turning blind eyes, and taxpayers’ monies being used for much of it under the guise and seeming sanctioning by MS Law. Worst of all, when some of the parties involved start fighting over the millions being made and their cuts not being gotten, they filed a lawsuit, which is sealed from public view. Please tell me this will be made public and all the good ol’ boy mechanisms that were used see the light of day.
Securix
I can only hope that somebody will be help accountable for all the seemingly illegal things that went down in the Securix scandal.
Orange cones
I know a lot you guys complain about cones on Highway 90 for couple days at a time. On Atkinson Road in West Biloxi, we have had it 3 to 4 times a week for over 6 months now. Detours on Saylor and Jordan are a daily occurrence. When will it end?
Ridiculous
I hope the police presence at Cruisin’ The Coast is the same as it was for Scrapin’ and for Black Spring Break.
Why pave?
Why is Ocean Springs paving Government Street? Downtown is the best road in Ocean Springs.. this seems like the former mayor’s finger to the city. And at the peak of summer tourism? Rude.
Not obliterated
After seeing satellite pictures of the dozens of tractor trailers at the nuclear sites, it’s pretty clear the bulk of Iran’s enriched uranium was likely moved from the sites before the strikes. It will be a long time before truth is found. At least the chairman of Joint Chiefs admitted the damage assessment will take time.
Incredible statesmanship
Mr. Art of the Deal managed to get Israel and Iran to agree to a cease fire, which appears to have lasted about as long as it took for me to send this email. Congratulations! I’m sure that Nobel Peace Prize will be his soon enough.
Like Churchill
After his actual bombs didn’t work, now Dear Leader has resorted to dropping F-bombs on television. Guess this is what you get when you hire a bunch of cosplayers to be in your Cabinet.
Big win
The Supreme Court paved the way for deportations of illegal immigrants to anywhere except for here. That, ladies and gentlemen, makes everyone safer.
Could be worse
Can any clear-thinking American even imagine having President Biden or a President Harris as our Commander in Chief right now?
Social Security
Social Security would be in much better shape if the democrats would stop giving it to people who never paid into it.
Do it, already
Richard Jordan should have been executed decades ago. More proof that the judicial system is broken. If you take a life and it’s not self defense, you deserve what’s coming.
It’s been too long
It’s ridiculous how long Richard Jordan has been sitting on Mississippi’s Death Row. Execute the man and then get about the process of clearing our Death Row, while you’re at it.
