Two Northsiders holed out eagles on a par four from 70 yards on back-to-back swings on hole six at Patrick Farms golf course Saturday. An AI search said there is no record of this happening in the history of pro golf.
https://chatgpt.com/s/t_695998bd4748819185d9f6317c048601
However, there is at least one instance of two pro players in the same group hitting their third shots in the hole for eagles on a par five. It was unclear if these shots were back to back.

The 2026 session of the Mississippi Legislature is ready to go, and from the looks of things, the Republican majorities in both chambers must prepare to compromise to get anything high on their wish list accomplished.
A recent story on the Magnolia Tribune website explored education issues ranging from school choice to teacher pay raises; and increased financial assistance for the Public Employees Retirement System to start decreasing its $26 billion unfunded liability.

Oh, come now. That’s only one out. Patrick Taylor has a whole batting order to face. He claims Trump is out with three strikes. (“Trump Has Not Met Expectations of His Supporters,” Northside Sun 12/12/26). OK, but we’re in only the second inning. I’m more than pleased with Trump’s performance after months and it’s a lot better than I thought it would be. There are inaccuracies coming out of Taylor’s hand and sloppy conflation of fact with fiction. Now Taylor is out of strikes and is beginning to throw only balls. My diagnosis: a debilitating case of TDS.

Imagine facing arrest simply for posting sharp or critical comments online. Picture police at your door for expressing opposition to mass immigration. Envision a country where you could be imprisoned for years without a jury ever deciding your guilt.
This isn't dystopian fiction - it's the reality unfolding in Britain today, my former home and once part of the free world.
