Sweet Dips
By Lee Ann Flemming Article
People often ask me about my favorite types of food to prepare along with the recipes. I think that is kind of like asking which child is your favorite. I have an only child, so he always says that he is my favorite child!

I recently downloaded ChatGPT and asked: What are the three top reasons why an undecided person would choose to support President Trump? It replied: (1) Economic Priorities and Policy Preferences; (2) Immigration and Border Policy; (3) Distrust of Political Establishment. Let’s see what the scoreboard says about each.

I only recently learned what a “groyper” is - you may or may not be familiar with the term?
From what I can tell, a groyper is a hardline white nationalist. Often anti-Semitic, groypers are hostile to mainstream conservatives. To the extent they have a coherent agenda, groypers seem more national socialism than free-market capitalism.
Having been involved in the conservative movement for three decades, I’d hesitate to call anyone with such views conservative. Indeed, I’d argue people that think like that are essentially hardline leftists.

For the most recent decades of my 87 years, Vietnam’s position on my vacation bucket list mirrored the rank of casinos on my list of steps to ensure a comfortable retirement. I have friends who vacationed there and loved it, and I had friends who got sent there and came back in a box. Other friends returned damaged, and a disturbing number of them died young. My own years of military service during the 1960s took me nowhere near Vietnam; even so, I wasn’t interested in seeing the place. That changed last October.

My grandmother lived on Cloverleaf Circle in my early years. Her home was located just a few blocks west of Bailey Avenue, just off Palmyra Street. Homes on her street were wood- framed, simply- built houses of no more than 1,000 square feet.
My family would go for an obligatory visit each Sunday, following lunch at Morrison’s cafeteria in the old Milner Building on South Lamar Street. My brother and I quickly became bored with the small talk and heavy cigarette smoke from the adults in the tiny living room and would retreat to her backyard.

The second week of the Advent Season focuses on peace.
In the Beatitudes, Jesus lays out a series of blessings for those who follow him.
These blessings are not for those who use only lip service to follow Jesus; these blessings are for those who practice the tenets and ordinances that Jesus laid out. Following the teachings of Jesus may not always be comfortable, because Jesus embraced some radical ideas about seeking the kingdom of heaven and loving one’s enemies.

Warm and pleasant greetings to all. We hope you are enjoying a good week.
Last Tuesday, Blue Cane Little Hubbard Community Center was opened for voting in the runoff election for the District 24 Senate seat. Some people forgot about the runoff, or maybe it was the cold weather.
Regardless, it’s important for all voters to participate in the election process. Voting day should be marked on your calendar as soon as you know.
We congratulate and welcome Justin Pope to Tallahatchie County, which joins three other counties making up Senate District 24.
