By: Sid Salter About 333 years before the birth of Christ, historians believe Alexander the Great marched his troops into the Phrygian capital of Gordium in what is today known as Turkey.

McDaniel seems to think state voters are incapable of separating truth from fiction
By: Sid Salter Okay, so the latest political tantrum from state Sen. Chris McDaniel operates on this narrative – he “demands” that Mississippi television stations stop running ads funded by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce which make the claim that McDaniel is a trial lawyer.

Special election offers Mississippi Democrats a shot at the Alabama Senate “miracle”
By: Sid Salter Mississippi Democrats are hoping for a repeat of the political “miracle” that handed their counterparts in Alabama a U.S. Senate seat last December. Alabama voters had not elected a Democrat to represent them in the U.S. Senate since 1986 when they chose current U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby. Shelby was elected as a…

In U.S. Senate race, Hyde-Smith, McDaniel both have state Senate records to compare
By: Sid Salter On March 21, state Sen.
