For decades, ideas hatched in the seminar rooms of 1960s France have been quietly percolating through American institutions. The result is a moral and intellectual climate in which a generation of young Americans has been taught to see themselves not as free individuals in charge of their own destinies, but as positions in a hierarchy of victimhood, defined by race or sex.

Two plus months into the war with Iran and the fog of war is becoming the fog of peacemaking. What was a shoot-out has become a stand-off. The key terrain feature remains the Strait of Hormuz. It is the key to this conflict in much the same way that Vicksburg was to the Civil War. The double blockade of the Strait is creating a siege atmosphere and mindset. Daniel Yergin, the great energy scholar and scribe, calls this the biggest energy disruption in history. Resolving this grand disruption will not be easy or quick.

One morning this week, I rode the elevator up to my desk with a well-dressed young Black woman who had kindly keyed open the building door for me – in these days when odd folks are taking pot shots at the President, we have decent security.
She smiled and asked if I had enjoyed my day off on Confederate Memorial Day? Her expression betrayed no irony, just genuine goodwill. I was mortified. “I can’t believe they still call it that!” I responded, telling her I was ashamed to live in a state where that was still the case.

Civil discourse? What? Let’s talk about controversies – the Iran war, immigration, the farm bill, spying on Americans, etc. Those are more dynamic and timely topics, right?

Hoist on your own petard — an unpleasant surprise. A bomb that goes off in your hand. A screen pass that turns into a pick six. A developer's fantasy that puts Entergy in a bind of its own making.
On March 2, 2026, a Ridgeland developer filed a Rule 24 petition with the Mississippi Public Service Commission. Docket 2026-AD-10. He wants a declaration that a 350-megawatt gas-fired power plant plus an AI data center plus a semiconductor fab complex is exempt from PSC regulation under the landlord-tenant exception in Mississippi Code §77-3-3(d)(iv).

I think I have a grandson who is a natural carrier of strep throat. It seems he has this sickness every two or three weeks.
Now, it seems he has passed it on to his sister. It’s not just strep that’s so bad, it’s the aftermath of the trouble. It usually ends with a cold or ear infection. We dealt with this malady many times. I told them if my grandmother were still here, she would have cured that difficulty in a day or two.

Warm and pleasant greetings. We hope you are enjoying a good week. Happy May!
Beautiful roses may be the topic of conversation. Surely you are admiring your neighbors yards and others homes as you pass along the way adoring the most beautiful rose blossoms everywhere.
The town landscape and other businesses and churches are included.
Rose bushes in our yard are pretty too. We usually make a special drive over to see the Covington yard. Of course, it’s always in blue ribbon shape!
