Dear Editor,
I’m responding to a recent post made on Facebook by State Representative Karl Olver over remarks made by Congressman Bennie Thompson in a Homeland Security Committee hearing.
For the purpose of recognizing the representative as a constituent of Mr. Thompson, I will refer to the representative as Karl. I appreciate Karl making the post on Facebook.
Firstly, it reveals a lot about who he is as an individual that has bought in to how many of his colleagues try to “excite” their supporters.

Among all the Ole Miss football players, coaches and fans reveling in the postseason success of the Rebels, one of the happiest has to be Keith Carter, the school’s athletic director.
The victories over Tulane in the first round and Georgia in the Sugar Bowl have vindicated Carter and his then risky decision to cut ties immediately with Lane Kiffin after Kiffin had decided to take the coaching job at Louisiana State University.

What’s your favorite food?
Raised in the South - there’s plenty to choose from!
When I was little, I remember loving fried chicken legs! Add to that red jello.
For some reason also really liked the Captain Crackers dipped in Thousand Island dressing. My other food group was French fries.
I remember mama telling me that when she and daddy and I were going out for dinner to celebrate their anniversary I got a little loud.
The waitress led us to our table set away from most of the other busy areas saying, “I thought you would like a little privacy.”

What is going on in college football? Where are the blue bloods of the college game like the familiar names of Alabama, Clemson, Georgia or Ohio State. I thought the Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) was going to have the elite programs dominate college football even more. It ain’t so as we have four new teams in Indiana, Miami, Ole Miss and Oregon still playing. Those are our final four teams in the College Football Playoff (CFP) semifinals.
Ole Miss will play Miami in the Fiesta Bowl on Thursday night followed on Friday by Indiana battling Oregon in the Peach Bowl.

Several months ago, I wrote an article regarding the status of waterfowl populations across the country. Not to digress, but in a nutshell, the numbers overall have been in a downward trend for many years. Again, I won’t go into the reasons, but I will reemphasize some points in this article. Since we are in the last few weeks of the 2025-2026 waterfowl season, I thought it would be interesting to poll hunters in various regions across the state to get their thoughts on how the season is going thus far.

A recent Gallup poll found 85 percent of respondents disapprove of Congress’ work. Reports suggest about 90 percent of people think term limits will align Congresspersons’ incentives with the common good. They won’t.
In the 2024 general election, incumbents won reelection more than 90 percent of the time; it’s 100 percent in some election cycles. If elections were truly competitive, incumbents would not win at that rate. Freed from competition, legislators’ incentives to are not aligned with the public good.

Apparently, the DC Santa Claus did NOT visit Linda Berry this year. All she got were clean MAGA lumps of coal along with $2.25 gas. So sad. Nor can anyone in DC make her happy (“Democrats Must Make Their Case,” Northside Sun, 12/12/25). Yet she believes the Democrats have the better solutions to govern if they would but take it on. That assumes that the Democrat leadership has ability to function like a normal political party. Nevertheless, she’s a real Democrat believer. In what, I would like to know.
