THIRD OF JUNE Another sleepy dusty delta day
Thank you for posting the APV.
What kind of perverted thinking invites an enemy into his home knowing he wants to kill you?
Why, it’s the evil demonrats!

Ode To Billie Joe
Song by
Bobbie Gentry
Was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty delta day
I was out choppin’ cotton and my brother was balin’ hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And mama hollered out the back door, “Y’all remember to wipe your feet”
And then she said, “I got some news this mornin’ from Choctaw Ridge
Today Billie Joe McAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge”
And papa said to mama as he passed around the Black Eyed Peas
“Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please
There’s five more acres in the lower forty I got to plough”
And mama said it was shame about Billie Joe, anyhow
Seems like nothin’ ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billie Joe McAllister’s jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn’t I talkin’ to him after church last Sunday night?
I’ll have another piece of apple pie, you know it don’t seem right
I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge
And now you tell me Billie Joe’s jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
And mama said to me, “Child, what’s happened to your appetite?
I’ve been cookin’ all mornin’, and you haven’t touched a single bite”
That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today
Said he’d be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billie Joe was throwing somethin’ off the Tallahatchie Bridge
A year has come ‘n’ gone since we heard the news ‘bout Billie Joe
And brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus goin’ ‘round, papa caught it and he died last spring
And now mama doesn’t seem to wanna do much of anything
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin’ flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Still waiting...
I don’t care about Kash much. But I think that this dilly-dallying by the FBI will destroy the political capital that Bongino has accrued over the last several years. I had such high hopes for him.
We’ll see how things shake out; he still has time to redeem himself.
Amen and good morning
Ode to Billie Joe ... I always liked the string section that was played in that song.
Very haunting.
Good Tuesday 3rd of June morning, all!
Watching Kid Rock (Bobby) with Steve Doocy in Nashville taking a walk down the street.
He’s been on the Trump Train since Trump came down the escalator.
They ended up at the Detroit Cowboy Restaurant that is going to officially open tonight.
Good morning, MM.
I hope that they are building cases that are going to be bullet proof and will blow us away.
Oh, nice!! I’ll have to catch the segment....maybe I can find it, on X.
Wouldn’t it be fun for us to all meet in Nashville and dine at the Detroit Cowboy together? 😎 🤠
Agree. Locktight groundwork, hopefully.
Good morning, Jane!
There are now 12 victims of that horrendous terrorist attack in Boulder.
Sec. Rubio has announced that the families of these perps can be deported too.
Muhammad has a wife and 5 kids.
I do think we need to get rid of them all as you just know that those kids have been indoctrinated and will grow up to be just like daddy.
That does seem cruel but is necessary.
The String Section is Beautiful.
Get them all the h3ll out of this country.
Prayers up, for these families.
Steve just said there is going to be more from the Detroit Cowboy this morning.😎
Good morning, ML!
Work looks like a piece of cake this morning.
Let’s hope he is telling those sheep to leave the demonrats and come over to the best party EVAH.
Agree. Praying for SHOCK AND AWE!
I like that pup’s work ethic :-) Good (working) doggy.
Good morning, ML!
