An excellent medical column in The Washington Post predicts the next target in Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s anti-vaccine campaign. At the same time, the column debunks the claim that this target is hazardous to children’s health.
Dr. Leana S. Wen, an emergency physician and clinical associate professor at George Washington University, believes Kennedy, the Health and Human Services secretary, may seek the removal of “aluminum salts” from vaccines. He believes this ingredient can cause conditions from autism to asthma to food allergies.

Well, here we go again, DAYLIGHTS SAVINGS TIME!
How many of you are as excited and eager as I am to have my entire routine disturbed (nearly traumatized), with adhering to moving our clocks forward one hour? Spring forward, Fall back. I’d rather gain that hour than lose an hour.
It’s not only my slumber it bothers, it’s my entire lifestyle for the next six months and then, we do it again. Yes, it takes me the full spring forward thing to acclimate my lifestyle and then when I get okay it all goes in the opposite direction once again.

I am still surprised. . .
When driving to familiar places, when walking over the land, and when on back roads.
Our landscape has changed.
As it regrows, heals, and is cleaned up our landscape will continue to change. The wounds of the ice storm will leave scars, even though grass, new plants, and new trees may cover them.
I love to wake up and spend some time drinking my morning coffee and looking out the window at my flower garden (whether dormant or blooming), the bird feeders, the little pond, and the trees within my sight.

Concerns about politically motivated debanking deserve serious attention. We must ensure Americans have fair access to financial services – access that cannot be denied due to political pressure or vague regulatory standards. But Mississippi’s HB 1597 is not the right path forward.
This problem starts and ends in Washington. Expansive, vague, and outdated federal oversight rules, paired with aggressive enforcement tactics, have created an environment where federal regulators can pressure banks to close accounts for certain people and industries.

As President Donald Trump has acknowledged, America’s war on Iran will not be as easy or quick as the previous military incursion he authorized, the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
The goals for the South American operation were much simpler: Take out the incompetent and criminal Maduro and put in his place a regime of his lieutenants who are more inclined to take orders from Washington.

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.

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.

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.
