Republicans Across America Celebrate As President Trump Runs A Victory Lap Regarding His Impeachment Trial Acquittal

I think we can all attest that being observers and participates in modern day American politics brings out the best and worst of most people on social media. I admire those who remain silent. However, a lot of us observers of politics are not able to or choose not to do so. I suppose I am one of those who post what’s on my mind

especially when the battles get heated up in Washington  like they did earlier in the week. I would dare say that most of us  Republicans were apparently really happy enjoying our day basking in the sun on social media while President Trump ran a victory lap regarding his impeachment trial acquittal before the media at the National Prayer Breakfast. With President Trump’s State of the Union Address, Nancy Pelosi being a sore loser by tearing up President Trump’s speech up on national television and of course, President's Trump’s ultimate “not guilty” on both impeachment charges, most of us Republicans used social media as a megaphone to tell the world how we felt about it. I was called “100% mean spirited” by one person and a “a pathetic human” by another person on Facebook. So I blocked them. I don’t argue with those who take politics personally and start the name calling.  Nonetheless, it was an incredible day for all of us Republicans across America!

Let's Keep Building Ole Miss Up Rather Than Tearing Her Down By Taking Away Her Traditions And Heritage

The Lyceum

   I knew Willie Morris, Barry Hannah, Dr. Porter Fortune, Ron Shapiro and The Hoka. I knew the Rebel flag, the Rebels, Frat Row, the Dixie Song and Kentucky bourbon in my Coke on a Saturday football fall afternoon. I knew the Spirit of Ole Miss as I graced her hallways in The Lyceum on an early Spring morning or as I sat in a classroom at Bondurant Hall on a long, hot summer day. I knew the beat of her heart when I walked the Grove on a beautiful fall afternoon.

    And I can still hear her calling my name as I am one of thousands of students who knew and loved her as she was. Thirty three years later, it’s not a matter of how much money I have given her through the years. But it’s a matter of how much she has given me. She prepared me for the world, my career and how to be a family man. She made me into a productive and responsible citizen in my community.

She has given me so much more than I could have ever given her. So the question is, “Would we recognize her today? No, I don’t think so. Has her spirit, heart and soul been destroyed? Yes, I think so. The liberals and socialists have crawled all over her like poisonous and diseased insects. So let’s keep building her up rather than tearing her down. Let’s keep her traditions and heritage alive so she will continue to have a positive impact on all of her student’s lives for future generations as she done for mine today. May God Bless Ole Miss and Hotty Toddy! (Pic below: My late mother and I in 1986).
