Yoshawn Hudson’s stock is rising as he nears his senior season at Winona High School.
Hudson was recently listed as a 3-star prospect with 247Sports. The 6-foot, 193-pound Hudson also has 12 college scholarship offers, and he is hoping a few more come his way.

The Fifth Cornice in Purgatory, as described in Cantos XX and XXI of that part of The Divine Comedy, is where souls of those who were hoarders in their earthly lives atone for their sin.

It’s hard to read or watch anything online without running into false and misleading advertising. My favorites are ads that promise a common food or simple household product can reverse aging, end Alzheimer’s, and cure dementia. None attain FDA approval, of course, and often claim powerful interests want their ingredients kept secret. Somehow us older folks get exposed to lots of these ads.

Attorney General Lynn Fitch's office has done the citizens of Indianola a continued disservice.
For a year and a half, the AG's office has failed to effectively prosecute and resolve its civil demands against former Aldermen Ruben Woods, Marvin Elder and Sam Brock.
The AG filed its suit against the three aldermen in October 2024, following State Auditor Shad White's summer 2024 demands against them for their role in the alleged illegal $38,900 payout to Spencer Construction.

For fifty years Pentagon planners, whose job it is to analyze risk and threats around the globe, have concluded year after year that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is the worst possible scenario to confront - but it never happened – until now! The world is now witnessing firsthand what scared the military analysts. When big flows of oil and gas are interrupted it doesn’t take long to disrupt economic activity. Disrupt it long enough and the world economy grinds to a crawl. The fog of war is still thick. The fog of resolution is thicker still. How does this situation end?

Jackson Mayor John Horhn spoke to the Rotary Club of Jackson this past Tuesday.
First of all, it’s great to have a mayor who visits civic clubs like Rotary to engage with constituents, especially engaged ones such as club members.
Sadly, civic club involvement has declined over the last 30 years, just one more bad effect of the rise in social media and tribal inclusiveness.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

Columnist Sid Salter says Hyde-Smith is the clear favorite in this race but expect Colom to continue to wage a bare-knuckle campaign.
After the March 10 primaries, Mississippi now enters the home stretch of the 2026 mid-term elections, amid renewed fighting in the Middle East, new global and domestic economic challenges influenced by that conflict, and American partisan differences that have not been deeper or more pronounced since the late 1960s.
