Years ago, Jimmy Buffett wrote one of my favorite songs of all time, “A Pirate Looks at Forty.” Soothing in nature with a good beat and lyrics that probably resonate with most middle-aged men, it’s a timeless classic. The rhythm picks up when he lays out the lyrics, “Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late. The canons don’t thunder, there’s nothin’ to plunder. I’m an over-forty victim of fate.” Although, I’ve been listening to that song my entire life, I don’t think I’ve ever related to it as much as I do right now sitting here writing this column.

Below is a political opinion column by Roger Wicker:
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. The president concluded that the time had come to strike the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism, the Iranian regime. I believe the decision was profound, deliberate, and correct.

Below is a religion column by Matt Friedeman:
Samaritans typically hated Jews. But with the sun shining overhead, the woman came to understood that the real Water was right before her very eyes.
This morning one of the guys in my discipleship group shared an interesting nuance of the “Women at the Well” narrative from the Gospel of John, chapter four.

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. Mississippi already requires voter ID.

With songs like “Stand By Your Man,” “D-I-V-O-R-C-E,” and “Til I Can Make It on My Own,” Tammy Wynette became one of the most recognizable voices in the genre.
Some of the best places in Mississippi are the ones you almost drive past.
The ones tucked just off a two-lane road that you notice out of the corner of your eye while heading somewhere else.
That’s exactly how I first discovered the Tammy Wynette Legacy Center in Tremont.

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.

Southern Miss baseball continued its strong early season run this week, off to the best start in the Ostrander era at 14-2. They are ranked No. 7 in D1baseball.com, No. 10 in Baseball America, No. 6 in Perfect Game and No. 6 in The Athletic.
Another weekend is in the books, so naturally it’s time for my weekly report card for the Golden Eagles after a 4-1 week. Southern Miss beat No. 4 Mississippi State in a thriller on Tuesday night, before dropping a stunning home loss to Nicholls. They bounced back this weekend and earned the sweep of North Alabama.

Robert St. John says hospitality is hospitality, whether the table is set in Hattiesburg or on a fjord in northern Norway.
A restaurateur has no business leading tours through the frozen tundra of Scandinavia. Then again, a restaurateur has no business leading tours through Tuscany, either, and that was over 70 trips and 1,500 people ago.
