Below is a political opinion column by Russ Latino:

If White and Gipson run for governor they could split the conservative vote and provide a path for a more centrist candidate. How will President Trump factor into the equation?

Earlier this week, I wrote about how the race for Governor in 2027 is taking shape. The caveat, of course, being that we are more than two years out. Candidates and their odds of success will invariably change.

Robert St. John says whatever he’s done, whatever he’s built, whatever he’s been blessed to be part of—it wasn’t done alone.

There’s a lot of talk these days about self-made people. I’m not one of them.

Whatever I’ve done, whatever I’ve built, whatever I’ve been blessed to be part of—it wasn’t done alone. Not even close.

Though the settlement will cost the school’s millions, Ole Miss AD Keith Carter thinks it might also settle things down a bit.

College football starts in August, and I’ll watch it. Lots of it.

I’m geeky that way.

I know what Week Zero means, and I’m a participant.

I watch meaningless bowl games and FCS playoffs. I watch Conference USA for crying out loud.

I will continue to watch college football even though the game I love is changing.

When Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana went against his medical background and own gut instincts to clear the way for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s appointment as health and human services secretary, Cassidy tried to assuage his conscience by extracting promises from Kennedy that he would not subvert the nation’s vaccination program.

A level legal field on discrimination

When the current U.S. Supreme Court, which typically divides 6-3 or 5-4 on the most sensitive cases, unanimously disagrees with the lower courts, that’s a good indication the lower courts were way off base.
Such was the situation, until last week, in about half the nation’s federal courts, which had set up rules that made it more difficult for members of historically majority groups — white, male or straight — to prove discrimination than for members of historically minority groups — Black, female or gay.

By Lt. Col. Nicholas M. James, U.S. Army, Baton Rouge Recruiting Battalion commander “Thank you for your service,” are words I often hear while wearing my uniform in your community. I am grateful to hear those words, but what many people do not know is that I am the one who is thankful. I am thankful for the camaraderie, the commitment made to me and my family, and the opportunity to dedicate every day of my service to the American people.

The falling out between Donald Trump and Elon Musk was bound to happen. Two people with that much power and that much ego could not be buddies for long, especially given their shared inclination to publicly denigrate anyone with whom they disagree.

Although Musk is trying to mend the rift, his motivations now and in the past should be regarded with suspicion.

President Trump’s critics think he overreacted when he sent 4,000 members of the California National Guard to Los Angeles, along with 700 Marines, to protect federal buildings from people protesting enforcement of the country’s immigration laws.
The concern is understandable. California is a Democratic stronghold, and an argument can be made that, instead of a concern for public safety, the temperamental president simply relished the chance to order troops into such a large opposition state.

Below is a political opinion column by Sid Salter:

Columnist Sid Salter says nowhere are food deserts more real and visible than in rural Mississippi, and in those rural areas, none are bleaker than in the Mississippi Delta.

During Republican Gov. Tate Reeves’ time in the Governor’s Mansion, Mississippi has raised the economic development curtain on over $32 billion in new private sector investment. Much of that growth is in modern, high-tech fields that promise more and better jobs in the future.
