President Trump signed an executive order mandating voter ID. The leftist organizations, with coffers full of Soros-type money, will certainly try to drag it through the courts forever. But it should be that simple. We have to provide identification all the time for a scad of reasons. If one travels foreign you must have a passport proving your citizenship. I suggest Trump ask Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann to recreate his MS voter ID explanation commercials for the nation and show how many ways you can prove your identity and citizenship for federal elections.
Does President Trump not know that a campaign of retribution did not end well for President Nixon? History says it will not end well for Trump, either.
A breach of US military battle plans via a public platform is a clear act of treason. Lock them up.
Many thanks to the team of hard-working folks with the City of Biloxi who are cutting, trimming, and cleaning up along Popps Ferry Road south of the bridge. This is an area that has been largely neglected, even though it is one of the main corridors of the coast. Those of us who live nearby appreciate all your hard work. Thank you.
Wow! I feel so much safer waking up Thursday knowing that America's secrets are protected from Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris. Now, what about Sec. Hegseth and Mike Waltz?
When you hire unqualified people, this is the kind of thing that happens. I can only imagine how loudly folks would be screaming if Whiskeyleaks was full of minorities.

Piers Morgan quickly backtracks after ‘mistakenly' posting photo of Trump wearing kneepads ahead of Putin summit
Piers Morgan said he thought a picture of Donald Trump wearing kneepads was a real image of the president preparing for his 'high stakes' summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, adding that he deleted the photo when he realized it was fake. The British tabloid host went on to claim that the satirical pic of Trump merely came across his social media feed and he immediately reposted it alongside well-wishes to Trump. Needless to say, Morgan faced a flood of mockery for posting the mocked-up photo of the president, something he acknowledged after deleting the image. Hours before Trump actually touched down in Alaska for the summit with Putin, which is part of an attempt by the president to secure a ceasefire agreement in the bloody Ukraine-Russia war, Morgan – who has enjoyed a long (and fraught) friendship with Trump – posted an altered picture of the president exiting Air Force One. Apparently believing this was a live photo and that the president had just landed in Anchorage, the Piers Morgan Uncensored host delivered a message of hope ahead of Trump's meeting with Putin. 'As President [Donald Trump] lands in Alaska, I wish him the very best of luck in trying to secure an end to the horrendous war in Ukraine,' Morgan tweeted. 'It's refreshing to see a U.S. president who genuinely prefers peace to war.' With the picture showing a waving Trump donning bright red kneepads, it didn't take long for Morgan to get inundated with comments from other users on X asking him if he was aware that he had shared a meme that was mocking the president. 'Did you intentionally post a photo with Trump wearing knee pads or are [you] just an idiot? Evil or idiot? Which is it?' one poster pressed Morgan, prompting the presenter to chalk it up his tweet to ignorance. 'No.. I didn't see the kneepads on that pic, so just deleted and reposted with a different pic!' Morgan replied. In response to journalist Tara Palmeri wondering what had happened because the post was 'quickly deleted,' Morgan gave a more detailed explanation. 'I saw the pic on my feed and mistakenly believed it was a live one, and didn't spot the mocked up kneepads,' he replied to Palmeri. 'I couldn't understand why so many people were laughing and raging about it. Then I realized, deleted it and reposted with another pic. My words remained the same.' It is more than a bit ironic that Morgan fell for an obviously fake photo when it was just a week ago that he trolled NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo for getting duped by a blatantly obvious deepfake video of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) purportedly delivering a House floor speech denouncing the Sydney Sweeney 'good jeans' ad. 'Oh dear @ChrisCuomo - perhaps spend less time b*tching about me and more time trying to spot obvious fakes,' Morgan tweeted at Cuomo alongside several laughing emojis. 'You got clip i didnt pay attn I wont block you for saying how easy that is, my yappy friend?' Cuomo responded at the time.

Zelensky Condemns Continuing Strikes by Russia as Putin and Trump Meet in Alaska
As President Trump touched down in Anchorage on Friday to meet with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia over the war in Ukraine, that country's leader, President Volodymyr Zelensky, criticized continuing Russian strikes as a sign that Moscow was not prepared to end the conflict. Mr. Zelensky posted a video on social media an hour ahead of the high-profile summit at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. He said Russia had struck several regions in Ukraine, including a central market in Sumy. 'The war continues, and it is precisely because there is neither an order nor a signal that Moscow is preparing to end this war,' he said. 'On the day of negotiations, they are killing, as well. And that speaks volumes.' Fighting continued on both sides, and Kyiv reported that Ukraine had struck an oil refinery in Russia's Samara region overnight. Mr. Zelensky, who was not invited to the summit in Alaska, said he was ready to work 'as productively as possible' to end the war and was relying on a 'strong position' from the United States to back Ukraine's demands and push for a cease-fire. European leaders and Mr. Zelensky told Mr. Trump on Wednesday that there could be no negotiation without a cease-fire, and that Ukraine must have a place at the table. European leaders were also iced out from Friday's summit, but continued to actively support Mr. Zelensky. The Ukrainian leader said he spoke with President Emmanuel Macron of France on Friday. Mr. Zelensky said that he was preparing for upcoming discussions and that 'tomorrow will start early for everyone in Europe.' Ukraine is 11 hours ahead of Alaska. It is not clear what discussions he was referring to and who would be a part of them. But Mr. Trump has said he would call Mr. Zelensky and European leaders directly after his meeting with Mr. Putin, and suggested that Mr. Zelensky could possibly join him and Mr. Putin in Alaska for a second meeting if there were real progress. The president said a three-way meeting in Alaska 'would be by far the easiest way' to mediate.
