More cops than visitors

Driving down Highway 90, I can see why folks might not want to be a part of Black Spring Break. It looked like there were more cops than spring breakers.

Not wanted

It’s clear that Biloxi has hung out a “Not Welcome” sign for Black Spring Break. And that’s shame.

Enjoyable

Black Spring Break was actually a fine weekend to be in downtown Biloxi. Now, if we can just do something about Cruisin’ The Coast.

I remember

I’m old enough to remember the shooting at Cruisin’ The Coast. While the police may say there is a similar presence at Black Spring Break as there is at Cruisin’ The Coast, I can’t help but believe, from my own eyes, that the police presence at Black Spring Break is significantly more visible.

I dare you

A Chinese tanker has defied the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. And this is yet another instance where Donald Trump’s entire policy is the Bugs Bunny-Yosemitie Sam short of “I dare you to step over this line.”

Iran

I think I’d feel better about this whole Iran situation if I had any idea what we are trying to accomplish and how we might go about doing it.

Finally

It’s nice to see that we’re finally unwilling to play games with Iran. It’s time the Iranians learn that their actions have consequences.

A Red Cross worker, huh?

I’ve seen many a Red Cross worker, Donald. Can’t say as I remember any dressed exactly like Jesus with glowing hands and the power to heal the sick. But maybe we just run in different circles.

Blasphemy

President Trump posted a picture on Truth Social portraying himself as Jesus in robe with angels overhead and glowing hands for healing. I guess Speaker Johnson and MAGA will say it was fake news even though Trump admitted posting it. Sleepy Joe never did anything this mentally questionable. 25th Amendment anyone?

Seen it all, now

President Trump posted an image of himself as Jesus, healing the sick and jets flying above. Is this not a bridge too far yet?

Trump vs. Leo

President Trump has attacked the Pope (we live in the most ridiculous timeline), saying the pontiff is “WEAK on Crime and terrible for Foreign Policy”. I’m sure the cardinals will consider that the next time they choose a man to speak for God.

Immigration

I don’t really care if it’s another leader or the Pope, President Trump’s defense of America’s borders is right and just.
