Breaking News: Is Largely Abandoned Jackson, MS Mall Set to Become World’s Largest Buc-ee's Convenience Store? Jackson, MS - In a move that has stunned the community and sent shockwaves through the business world, the mostly abandoned Metro Center Mall is set to be transformed into the world’s largest Buc-ee's convenience store. This unprecedented development comes after years of public interest and outcry from the people of Jackson, MS, who have long been begging and circulating rumors for a local Buc-ee's location. The massive undertaking will see the once bustling, now eerily quiet shopping center morph into a sprawling paradise for convenience store aficionados. "It's a dream come true," said lifelong Mississippi resident Buck Alman. "We've been wanting a Buc-ee's here for years, and now we’re getting one that’s bigger than we could have ever imagined!" The Buc-ee's mega-store, which will occupy every inch of the former mall, is expected to offer everything from their iconic beaver nuggets and clean restrooms to an endless array of snacks, apparel, and unique gifts. Enthusiasts predict that the sheer scale of the store will attract tourists from all over the country, further boosting Jackson’s profile. However, not everyone is thrilled with the announcement. Local business owners are bracing for impact, fearing that the behemoth Buc-ee's could overshadow their establishments. "How can we compete with a place that sells everything under the sun?" lamented Claudette Brown, owner of a small downtown business. "We might as well pack up and move into the Buc-ee's ourselves!" Indeed, some analysts predict that the new Buc-ee's could drive many local businesses out of operation, leading to an economic monoculture dominated by the convenience store giant. In a particularly bold prediction, some even speculate that one day, all of Hwy 80 from I-220 to Hwy 18/Robinson Street will be one continuous Buc-ee's, seamlessly blending shopping, dining, and fuel services into a single, all-encompassing experience. In response to these concerns, Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba has adopted a unique stance. "If the city and my personal finances are properly incentivized, I am prepared to rename Jackson to 'Buc-eeville'," he announced at a recent press conference. "This rebranding will reflect our new identity as the home of the world's largest Buc-ee's and signify our commitment to embracing this monumental change." The mayor’s announcement has sparked a mix of excitement and controversy. While some residents are eager to embrace Buc-eeville and its potential economic benefits, others are wary of losing the city's unique charm and identity. As the transformation of Metro Center Mall begins, one thing is certain: Jackson, or perhaps soon Buc-eeville, is on the brink of an unprecedented era. Whether this development will be a boom or a bust remains to be seen, but for now, all eyes are on the beaver as it prepares to take over the heart of Jackson.

Per Chelle May Gross on Facebook (slightly edited to fit) This year, my husband’s usual tournament partner could not play because he is participating in his nieces wedding, so Stephen needed to find a temporary partner. Insert Lauren, our daughter would be home for the first summer in quite some time, and she plays a rare golf round every now and then in her free time. She was a division one college basketball player, so free time was almost non existent. Hence her first summer home, but Stephen thought “what the heck, she loves competition, so why not?” Lauren agreed. They filled out the paperwork, hand delivered it in April, and proceeded to prepare, while looking forward to the weekend and some fun competition. He books hotel reservations, dinner reservations, and the rest of us that don’t play make our usual plans of going to McCarty’s and The Gallery for lunch. Yesterday, morning we receive the phone call letting us know the Lauren would not be allowed to play. We ask why? She is a girl is the only reason given. We then proceed to ask if we missed something. Is it stated anywhere that it is a Men’s Tournament? Does it say men’s only? The golf pro admits that it does not state anywhere that it is a men’s only tournament, but a girl has never played in the tournament before. My husband explains that if it had stated it were a men’s tournament, he would never have asked her to play. He explained that we are fine with men or women only tournaments, and was unaware that women were not allowed to play. Not one of the people that play with them on a regular basis believed that she would not be welcome. Stephen explained how wrong he felt like the club was for the decision, but also for calling less than 24 hours before they were to leave town to travel to Cleveland. He explained that Lauren expected no special treatment and that she would play from the men’s tees like everyone else. She just wanted to play. The Golf Pro asked for some time to talk it over with some others and he would call back. He called back, after talking to the past pro, their decision stood. She would not be allowed to play. They did not want to open that “can of worms”. Lauren, then called to talk to him, she simply wanted a reasonable answer as to why. His response to her was “We have never had this problem before.” She then replied with “So, the fact that I am a girl is a problem?” Then she asked him “If Dad had lied and said that she was a boy, and she dressed like a boy, would she have been able to play”, and he replied, “Yes.” Insert my son, who also plays in the tournament. He sends an email to the club stating his offense and that he planned to let anyone that would listen know what happened. Stephen then gets a call from a friend he went to school with who (unknown to us) happens to hold a position on the board at the club. Hopefully that keeps him anonymous. He apologizes and asks Stephen, if they allow Lauren to play, would she still be willing to do so? Stephen talked to Lauren. She agreed. She just wants the right thing to be done. He lets us know he would get back with us very soon. 5 1/2 hours later at 9:30pm Stephen reaches out to his friend to see what he needs to do about hotel reservations. He responded with we are still meeting, I’ll let you know soon. At 10:30pm Stephen reached out again before going to bed, he explained that if they were going to play in the tournament, he would be leaving by 9am the next morning. He was told, some members of the board had to go home, but they were still communicating via text. His friend would let him know something by 5am. 5am - nothing, 6am - nothing, 7am - nothing, at 8am Stephen reached out again. He was told that they were still discussing the “issue”. But they would get back with him very soon. At 10:15am over an hour after Stephen and Lauren were supposed to leave town, Stephen reached out one last time to ask for a final decision. He explained h

The question of the day is "Did President Joe Biden POOP his pants while at the 80th anniversary of D-DAY in Normandy, France today? Below is the Daily Beast attempting to debunk it, watch my video as I explore the entire situation and make up your own mind.

President Joe Biden delivered a forceful speech Thursday in France to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landing, warning that “democracy is not guaranteed” and “the price of unchecked tyranny is the blood of the young and the brave.” MAGA trolls reacted by accusing the president of pooping in his pants. While many observers’ attention was focused on the president’s address honoring the last living veterans of the invasion of Normandy, the rapid response social media team of the Republican National Committee was instead preoccupied with Biden briefly crouching before taking a seat. In a 13-second clip posted to social media, the president is seen shaking hands with French President Emmanuel Macron before turning toward first lady Jill Biden. He then slightly squats down while reaching for something behind him. The brief video ends with an announcer welcoming Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to the stage while Jill Biden appears to whisper something to her husband. “Awkward,” the RNC Research account captioned the video, alongside a grimacing face emoji. Pro-Trump influencers and right-wing provocateurs quickly ran wild with the clip, claiming it was definitive proof that the president had soiled his trousers. Dave Rubin, the “ex-lefty turned shitposting Trump stan,” wondered whether Biden was “pooping or sitting in an invisible chair,” adding a poop emoji to his tweet to hammer home the message. Dispensing with Rubin’s “just asking questions” framing, beanie aficionado and far-right podcaster Tim Pool blared “HE POOPED” and “HOLY SHIT” in all caps, claiming that the president needed to quickly leave the ceremony to clean himself up. Breaking911, a junk news X (formerly Twitter) account that boasts a million followers, helped spread the narrative to the MAGA masses by reposting the clip with the caption: “Did Biden shit his pants AGAIN?” That would appear to be in reference to a baseless 2021 claim that the Vatican had to cancel a livestream of Biden’s meeting with Pope Francis because the president had a “bathroom accident.” Other prominent right-wing media personalities asserted that “there’s no way Joe is not pooping himself here” and “Biden just pooped his diaper,” much to the delight of their millions of social media fans. The reality of the situation, though, is far less messy. A couple of seconds after the clip the RNC shared online ends, the president locates the chair behind him and takes a seat alongside the rest of the contingent on stage. Taken in context, Biden seems neither out of place nor in the midst of a bathroom emergency. In fact, it was after this so-called accident or confusion over an “invisible chair” that the president delivered his emotive address while juxtaposing the historic war against the Nazis with the current battles against authoritarianism. “In their generation, in their hour of trial, the Allied forces of D-Day did their duty,” Biden declared. “Now the question for us is, in our hour of trial, will we do ours?” The president’s speech received some plaudits from conservative pundits. Bill McGurn, a former George W. Bush speechwriter and Fox News contributor, said Biden “looked in command” and delivered the speech “very well” with “no major stumbles.” But while some Fox News analysts were praising the speech, the conservative cable giant also ran wild with the RNC Research clip to insist that the president is suffering from “spatial disorientation” and that he “appeared confused” on the stage in Normandy. The network’s mockery of Biden’s supposed confusion was also framed within the context of The Wall Str
