Mississippi State University mourns the loss of Billy W. Howard Sr., a legendary business and manufacturing icon, MSU Hall of Famer, and respected alumnus. Howard, who died on January 28, 2026, at age 99, built a global electronics manufacturing enterprise after attending MSU on a football scholarship in the 1940s and earning a degree in electrical engineering in only three years.
MSU President Mark E. Keenum praised Howard as a “visionary leader and a loyal Bulldog” who faithfully supported his alma mater.

Mr. Jefferson warned of the American Presidency: “bad men will sometime get in”. Now that we can plainly see; that we plainly know. The Sage of Monticello wrote for the ages. It is time for the Congressmen from both parties along with the Courts, and perhaps the Cabinet itself, to speak up more firmly to reign in a destructive President.

Recently, I was listening to an interview with Dr. Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, TX. During the conversation, the interviewer displayed a graphic showing the age groups of Americans who plan to “pray more in 2026.” I was inspired to see the group leading the way was adults ages 30–44.
As they discussed the reasons behind this trend, my mind drifted to the numbers for my own age group—those 65 and older. Only 12% of seniors said they plan to pray more.

If you have followed my writing for any length of time, there should be no doubt about my love for the outside world. Whether I’m watching the foliage slowly turn from the deep green that growing seasons dictate to the fire of crimson and gold leaves gently falling to the earth, I wholeheartedly embrace the change. During the onset of the fall migration of waterfowl, I crane my neck with an ear towards the sky listening for faint cries of geese urging their leaders southward.

“I don’t know of anything more conservative than putting money away today for a future expense,” Senator Daniel Sparks said.
The Senate Finance Committee passed a bill that would add $5 million per year over 10 years for future cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) for new state employees hired after March of this year under the new Tier 5 in the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS).
The bill, SB 2613, is authored by State Senator Daniel Sparks (R).
