Pete Golding has defeated a ranked opponent in 5 of his first 9 games as a head coach. This is the most ranked wins to start a head coaching career of ALL TIME.

Last week the board running Mississippi’s public universities announced it had increased the salary of the state’s university commissioner to an insane $463,050 per year. This is the same commissioner who allowed the universities to create their crazy DEI programs, which cost taxpayers millions. Same commissioner who allowed the creation of an LGBT clinic at the state’s university hospital, which gave hormones to minors, permanently damaging their bodies. Same commissioner who allowed taxpayer-funded universities to create pointless woke programs, like gender studies, where students take classes like “Gender and Zombies” or “Queering Television,” whatever those are. The lead university commissioner in Texas earns far less, if you’re looking for a comparison for what this position usually pays in other states. And now, thanks to the raise, our university commissioner makes more than eight times the median Mississippi household income. This is the kind of illogical spending that drives taxpayers nuts. The next governor should put an end to these bloated administrative salaries and give tax relief back to normal taxpayers. We’ve got the second-highest grocery tax in the country, the second-highest car tag fees in the country, and property taxes that feel like they go up every year. Our money should be going to cut those taxes, not pay a guy’s salary who has powerful friends. My guess is you won’t hear many politicians talk about this. It’s mainly because our entire political establishment just wants to be buddies with one another. Enough of that. We need someone willing to take on the good ole boy’s club on behalf of working families.

Katie Zacharia was almost aborted. 30 minutes before her scheduled abortion appointment, her 19-year-old biological mother received a call from a Christian counselor urging her to place Katie for adoption instead. She was just selected to be the new White House Press Secretary. God can use anyone.

“God’s on the throne. Football don’t define me… Even if I never win another game, God is still good.. My peace comes from knowing that God’s on the throne.” - Clemson HC Dabo Swinney when discussing if he allows himself to feel the eternal pressures

On a February morning in 1986, a Georgia farmer named Leonard Hill walked out of his house twenty minutes before the bank was set to auction off his land. He never came back inside. He took his own life that morning, believing his life insurance policy would cover the debts that had buried his family. It did not come close. Leonard left behind a widow. Annabel Hill was 66 years old, and the farm her husband died trying to save had been in her family for five generations. Years of drought had wiped out the crops and the income that came with them. By the time Leonard died, the family owed the bank more than $300,000. His death did nothing to change that number. The auction was still coming, and Annabel was now facing it alone. That fall, an Atlanta businessman named Frank Argenbright heard what had happened to the Hills. He did not know the family. He simply decided that a widow in her sixties should not lose five generations of land because it stopped raining. So he started making phone calls, looking for anyone with the money and the will to step in. Those calls eventually reached a New York developer whose name the Hill family had never heard. Donald Trump was 40 years old and building his reputation in Manhattan real estate. A Georgia farm foreclosure was as far from his world as anything could be. Trump later wrote about what happened next in The Art of the Deal. He said the story hit him hard. Here was a family that had worked honestly for their entire lives, and they were about to watch everything they owned disappear because of weather they could not control and a bank that would not bend. He decided to make a call of his own. He phoned the bank directly. The loan officer told him there was nothing anyone could do. The paperwork was done, the debt was real, and the auction would go forward. Trump did not accept that answer. By his own account, he told the banker that if the foreclosure went ahead, he would sue the bank for wrongful death. Leonard Hill had killed himself under the financial pressure the bank had applied, and Trump was prepared to argue in court that the two were connected. The bank backed down and agreed to delay the foreclosure. That bought time, but time alone would not pay off $300,000. A public fundraising drive was organized next, and Americans who had read about Annabel Hill sent checks to an account with a Trump Tower address. The response was strong, but when the counting was done, the total still fell short of what the bank was owed. Rather than let the effort die a few dollars from the finish line, Trump and a Texas oilman quietly covered the remaining $78,000 between them. No press release announced it. The story did not end when the cameras left. Annabel Hill's descendants still live on that Georgia farm today. One of her granddaughters chose a career in agriculture, and she has said the land her family nearly lost is the reason she did. The five-generation streak Leonard Hill died trying to protect kept going because a stranger in Atlanta would not stop dialing and a stranger in New York picked up. More than thirty years later, Annabel Hill's daughter stood on a campaign stage and told the story of that phone call to a crowd that had mostly never heard it. By then, the man who made the call had spent decades as one of the most talked-about people in America, and the headlines about him had come and gone thousands of times. This story had never been one of them. It stayed private for most of that time, remembered mainly by the family that lived it. That is worth remembering when people claim they already know everything about the man. A rancher's widow in Georgia did not have a lobbyist or a press agent. She had a farm, a debt, and a husband in the ground. What she got, without asking, was a phone call to a bank and $78,000 she never had to repay. This is the side of President Trump the media never tells you about!

EFFORT

🚨 THE MISSISSIPPI MIRACLE THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE  American 15-year-olds just posted near-WORST scores ever on a key global reading and math test. Meanwhile Mississippi, once ranked 47th in 4th grade reading… is now 9th. Adjust for demographics? NUMBER ONE in the nation in 4th grade reading and math. NUMBER ONE in 8th grade math. A Black child in Mississippi is 2.5X more likely to be proficient in reading by 4th grade than a child in California. They spend about $11,000 LESS per student than Massachusetts and they’re beating them. How? Science of reading. 3rd grade retention if you can’t read. Charters in failing districts. School choice for special needs. RAISED standards, not lowered them. Governor Tate Reeves: conservative reforms + accountability work for EVERY kid. Blue states keep dumbing it down. Mississippi raised the bar, and the kids met it. This is the model. Copy it.

If you don't name the ideology that led to this (without qualifiers), you are dishonouring every single individual who died on that day. Be courageous. Fight those who wish to enslave us.

We asked Kam Franklin his thoughts on being a leader of the Ole Miss team. "I think it starts from guys like Pete (Golding) and (Randall) Joyner who lay down the foundation. Then you have guys like me and Will (Echoles) who just set the standard every day, come in and just be that example as far as like just standing on what you believe in. As far as not chasing other external factors and doing what's important. I mean, if you don't stand up for what you believe in, your word means nothing." - Kam Franklin on being a leader for Ole Miss.
