U.S. Senator Roger Wicker says President Donald Trump used military force to protect the United States and make the world safer.
President Trump recently made the most difficult decision a commander-in-chief can make. He ordered American service members into action.

Democrats in both the Mississippi House and Senate have opposed the measure, calling it a bad bill that could create more trouble for voters than it solves.
As President Donald Trump (R) is pushing congressional Republicans to pass the SAVE Act that would require voters to provide proof of citizenship at the time of registration and a photo ID when casting a ballot, state lawmakers in Mississippi are taking steps to pass the SHIELD Act to verify citizenship of voters on state rolls.

The House measure would allow licensed business with an alcohol permit to purchase their stock from any willing provider if ABC doesn’t fulfill their order in 5 days. This allowance would be in effect for 2 years.
To address the backlog that has plagued the state’s Alcoholic Beverage Control for months, the Mississippi House of Representatives amended a Senate bill last week through a strike-all amendment that would allow licensed and permitted businesses to purchase stock from other avenues when ABC fails to make timely deliveries.

Robert St. John says hospitality is hospitality, whether the table is set in Hattiesburg or on a fjord in northern Norway.
