🇺🇸 Let Freedom Ring in Mississippi! As we prepare to celebrate 250 years of American Freedom, I’ve recorded a reading of key parts of our founding document that started it all - the Declaration of Independence. Please share this with your children, family and friends and celebrate our God-given freedoms in this, the most blessed Nation on earth! Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸 @America250

New episode! 🚨 Before I left on Road Trip '26, I sat down with my friend @Andy_Taggart and we discussed the ideas behind the Declaration of Independence and why they remain relevant nearly two and a half centuries later. Happy birthday, America! youtu.be/QlMwFXXSjO8?is=6pCN…

Can you believe this fellow called the office needing a reindeer inspection at the last minute on Christmas Eve! But we got it done for him and 9 reindeer. Strange … as he pulled out of the parking lot I’m pretty sure he said, “Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!”

The "dean among Mississippi judges" E. Grady Jolly retires from the bench today. 43 years active duty & senior status on US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals (began 30 July 1982). He ranks #100 in longevity of active duty judges; #16 of appeal judges in US history (35 years; 65 days).

When Judge Jolly took senior status in 2017, I wrote about the 1981 political contest between then Senator Thad Cochran & then Rep. Trent Lott to put Jolly on the Court. Jolly replaced J.P. Coleman on the Court; Cory Wilson replaced Jolly. onlinemadison.com/stories/pe…?
