Epilogue
That judicial subdistrict the Mississippi establishment forced on DeSoto County against our will—the one we fought in federal court—just delivered.
It turned out roughly 5,000 extra Democratic voters, flipped DeSoto County blue, and may have just cost Republicans a U.S. Senate seat.
I did everything I could to stop it. I knew exactly what it would do to this county, and I knew that if DeSoto flips, Mississippi goes with it.
Hope everyone who helped put that scheme in place is satisfied with the result.
The GOP has some soul searching to do in Mississippi. We need real leadership in this state. Pray for our state and our country.
Y’all can thank, @DelbertHosemann, @LynnFitchAG @MichaelWatsonMS @tatereeves @bricewigginsMS and Representative Horan among others. 👏
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room (pun intended). And yes, the irony is hard to miss.
Republicans, or at least people who call themselves Republicans, are expressing outrage over Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, and Pete Buttigieg getting involved in Mississippi’s U.S. Senate race to help Scott Colom defeat Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith.
I agree with them, but where were these leaders when the #MSLeg snuck a subdistrict in DeSoto that’s going to elect two liberal judges that supported and donated to these same people?
Why does this receive so much less attention?
Why are they so quiet about it?
I’m all for fighting against Socialist Democrats and keeping them out of office in Mississippi (and America), but shouldn’t that fight be consistent, especially on the state and local level?
A special session could easily address this. So why aren’t we having one?
Last night left absolutely no question in my mind that a silent majority still exists, including right here in DeSoto County. They are hardworking, freedom-loving Americans who reject the Democrats’ socialist agenda and genuinely want to preserve the America that generations before us fought to protect.
Last night, even with it being a mid-cycle election year we had one of the largest political rally’s in DeSoto County history.
And it proved something I’ve believed for a long time.
The people who love America, who believe in the conservative principles upon which this country was founded, and who refuse to surrender those principles to communists, are alive and well.
Including right here in DeSoto County.
Last night originally came together because a handful of politicians in Jackson decided that the overwhelming majority of DeSoto County voters shouldn’t have a say in choosing who their leaders are.
And they expected the rest of us to just accept it and move on.
But they are sadly mistaken. Government doesn’t know what’s best, as much as they want us to believe they do.
To everyone who attended, everyone who helped make this event possible, and everyone who believes our country and our county are worth protecting, thank you.
Last night wasn’t the end.
We’re going to keep having these rally’s. And we’re going to keep reminding the good ole boys that they answer to the people who put them in office.
America is still worth fighting for. DeSoto County is still worth fighting for. And judging by the crowd last night, there are plenty of us willing to do just that.

Thank you to Supervisor @RobertFosterMS for hosting a great 86% Event and bringing together Mississippians who believe in conservative values, secure elections, and protecting the integrity of our vote.
Last night in DeSoto County, I made my position clear: Strict Voter ID. Restricted Mail-In Ballots. Paper Ballots in Mississippi.
The silent majority is ready to stand up, speak out, and make its voice heard. And I’m ready to stand with them!

Mississippi should have no state laws that require permission from the federal government to own a firearm or suppressor. Period.

Last week the board running Mississippi’s public universities announced it had increased the salary of the state’s university commissioner to an insane $463,050 per year.
This is the same commissioner who allowed the universities to create their crazy DEI programs, which cost taxpayers millions.
Same commissioner who allowed the creation of an LGBT clinic at the state’s university hospital, which gave hormones to minors, permanently damaging their bodies.
Same commissioner who allowed taxpayer-funded universities to create pointless woke programs, like gender studies, where students take classes like “Gender and Zombies” or “Queering Television,” whatever those are.
The lead university commissioner in Texas earns far less, if you’re looking for a comparison for what this position usually pays in other states.
And now, thanks to the raise, our university commissioner makes more than eight times the median Mississippi household income.
This is the kind of illogical spending that drives taxpayers nuts. The next governor should put an end to these bloated administrative salaries and give tax relief back to normal taxpayers. We’ve got the second-highest grocery tax in the country, the second-highest car tag fees in the country, and property taxes that feel like they go up every year. Our money should be going to cut those taxes, not pay a guy’s salary who has powerful friends.
My guess is you won’t hear many politicians talk about this. It’s mainly because our entire political establishment just wants to be buddies with one another.
Enough of that. We need someone willing to take on the good ole boy’s club on behalf of working families.

Correct.
The U.S. military plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan, the ex-Army major who was convicted of the 2009 killing of 13 people at Fort Hood, when he faces a firing squad on Dec. 3, a Pentagon official said.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said earlier Thursday the Pentagon planned to make the execution public.
Hasan's case could mark the military's first execution of an American service member since 1961.
After everything we’ve been through with the redistricting lawsuits lately, people keep asking what can we do?
So on Monday, October 12 at 6:00 PM, I’m opening up Cedar Hill Farm for our first Annual 86 Percent Event.
Come eat some food, fellowship with your neighbors, and hear directly from statewide and local candidates who want your vote.
No back rooms. No scripts. Just old fashioned stump speeches.
Good food, straight talk, and people who care about where DeSoto County is headed.
Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or you’re just tired of politics as usual, you’re invited. (No charge for this event.)
Our vote is more powerful than you realize and it’s time we start holding our elected officials accountable. Come join us.
Epilogue
I took over a decade of political notes and organized them, countless hours of research, and put it all out there to the People to read for free. It was weighing heavy on me for a long time and building heavier and heavier until I got it off my chest. Now I can feel that weight lifted off. That’s how I know it was the right thing to do.
I know I’ve upset some people. That’s not my intention, accountability is. Some think myself and others that speak out are to blame for DeSoto not getting our fair share of state funding for infrastructure. That’s fair. But I’d like to point out that long before I ever even ran for office we weren’t getting our fair share then either. And I predict long after I’m gone we probably still won’t.
We are a unique and blessed community in Northwest MS, far from Jackson, and we just aren’t as connected as all the counties on the coast are. Northeast MS has a federal Senate and Congressional legacy so they have always gotten what they want. I don’t know what to tell you other than I’d rather be able to vote for my judges than to get more money for an interstate. The interstate can wait, but if we lay down and take the installation of liberal judges in our county we won’t have a county worth investing in much longer anyways. Once the left gets a firm foothold they will dig in like a tick and suck the life out of us.
So if people want to blame me when we don’t get funding for the rest of I-55 next year or the year after or 10 years from now for revealing all this, that’s fine. I’ll own that for the hope that exposing all this gets us our votes restored and our judicial system clear of the radical leftists they are about to install on Nov 3rd.
Like Mike Hurst told me when I asked him if he would consider running for AG again, he replied only if God sends him a burning bush. All joking aside, I am not running for statewide or higher office again either unless God lays it on my heart like he did before and calls me to serve.
Y’all deserve to know the truth. The people of Mississippi deserve better. Where there is darkness, we must shed light.
“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” Ephesians 5:11
Some called Chris McDaniel crazy for exposing the establishment. He wasn’t crazy. He was just first. The first one through the brick wall always takes a beating. He was telling the truth about the corruption and the lack of character leading our state.
Our current Governor Tate Reeves, Lt. Governor Delbert Hosemann, Attorney General Lynn Fitch, and Secretary of State Michael Watson sold out the 86% of our county. The last one hurts the most. I actually had hope for Michael Watson. He used to be a good guy. He used to be a conservative and stand on principle. He used to be with us. Somewhere in the last decade while he waited in line to be next, he sold out. He may very likely be our next Lt governor, I pray he finds courage again.
Since I first got elected I began a prayer. I pray that I will know the right words to say at the right time and that I will know when to lead and when to follow. I will continue that prayer.

I didn’t pray to win. I prayed for wisdom, and for peace with the outcome. Peace I have. I did all I could do.

Chapter 8: On the Record
On September 1, 2026, the claims were dismissed. The injunction fight was over.
Just so you understand, we didn’t lose on the merits, we never really got into the debate over the legality of the law. This was just a hearing for an emergency injunction.
Judge Aycock beat us up pretty good in her opinion. Unfortunately for the 86%, she did not give us the emergency relief we asked for. Qualifying did not reopen. The subdistrict was not dissolved. The November 3rd election was not stopped. She used Purcell, the states’ pitch, as the excuse.
The record is still there. The fight isn’t over. This was just one battle in an ever-waging war.
Unfortunately, we can’t take this lawsuit to its conclusion on our own, which could possibly end up all the way at the US Supreme Court. They bled us out of money. They knew what they were doing. They drug the hearing out a full week on purpose. They buried us under a mountain of paperwork. The state and the ACLU have unlimited resources, we as citizens don’t. They can use our own tax dollars against us.
It could take 2-3 years and millions of dollars to get it there. Not unless some major outside conservative groups get behind us. We don’t have that kind of time or money. We need to use the record to pressure our state leadership to make this right.
The good news is, next year is an election year and several of the belligerents are planning on running for higher office. Your vote, especially in the primary, is powerful. Use it to hold them accountable.
Watson and Fitch’s excuse for siding with the ACLU and fighting against us is a state law.
Mississippi Code § 7-5-1 says the Attorney General “shall intervene and argue the constitutionality of any statute when notified of a challenge thereto.” They treat that as a command to defend whatever the Legislature passes. And Watson isn’t even the Attorney General. That statute doesn’t even apply to him.
It’s a weak excuse. If this were a different constitutional problem — a law that they didn’t have an interest in defending — they would not hide behind that statute. They would simply say what we ALL already know, that the Constitution trumps state law and the Legislature needs to fix it. After Callais, this judicial subdistrict is clearly in violation of settled constitutional law. They should not be defending it. They swore an oath with their hands on a Bible to uphold the Constitution.
What we did get is now on the record. The House floor video. The conference report with the MARIS map census numbers. The outdated precincts they used. The 86 percent. The reopening of qualifying of another judicial seat, they said could not be done, then opened one two weeks later. That is all on the record now. The Mississippi Legislature and our state leadership cannot hide from it.
Now that we have everything on the record, we need all of our DeSoto County state legislators to champion a bill this coming legislative session.
Dissolve the subdistrict.
Let 100% of our county vote on all of our state district judges.
Reopen qualifying.
Hold a special election so these liberal judges that are unfortunately about to be installed do not serve a single day longer than necessary.
They should not be allowed to serve a full term. This is a clear violation of our constitution.
As I’ve stated earlier I don’t blame our local delegation for what happened, but now that we have the Callais decision from the Supreme Court, this subdistrict is clearly illegal, no more excuses. Contact them. Ask them to fix it in January when they go back for legislative session. Ask them to make it their top priority!
Chapter 7: The Deal
I understand why they picked DeSoto. We already covered that. This chapter is the other half.
There had to be something else to it for Watson, Fitch, Reeves, and Hosemann to risk so much political capital. To hide the map. To destroy what little was left of their conservative reputations by sitting at the same table with the ACLU. To spend a quarter of a million dollars of taxpayer money fighting their own base. To lie on the record and tell a federal judge there wasn’t time, then open qualifying two weeks later for a different judicial seat in the same county. To violate the constitutional rights of 86% of DeSoto County.
What was it?
I just couldn’t put my finger on why the “Republican” State leadership would fight so hard against us on stopping a gerrymandered judicial district in DeSoto — and even more mind-boggling, why they would team up with the ACLU and fight us in court. I spent months trying to see the angle. I knew it had to be more than state leadership just not liking DeSoto.
A deal had been made, at least that was the political rumor, and it was clear what the ACLU got out of the deal. They got a gerrymandered judicial district in DeSoto where two liberal judges could get elected and conservative judicial candidates had no chance. So the state had to be getting something to offset that from the ACLU. But what was it?
Then while one of the ACLU attorneys was cross-examining Representative Eubanks. He had flown in from New York, Chicago, DC or based on the accent maybe even straight from China, obviously doesn’t know our local politics or the details of the deal, so unknowingly he showed their hole cards and I caught it. He was going through the MARIS map census data that the state had included in the conference report and pointing out the racial breakdowns of the special district in DeSoto. Then he went through the special gerrymandered district in Jackson — the “Capitol Complex District.”
The Capitol Complex District is the Jackson elites’ dream — revitalize downtown Jackson around the Capitol, the state fairgrounds, the UMMC medical center and other state buildings as the anchor, make it the thriving center of business for our state again. The state’s biggest donors want it. Big developers of course want it. Same crowd that has spent thirty years trying to dam the Pearl River into lakes and waterfront lots next to downtown — Two Lakes, then One Lake. Flood control as the pitch to use taxpayer funds. Development in the fine print.
Aha. The dots connected in that moment. We had to go through all we had been through and wind up in a federal lawsuit with the entire Mississippi Good O’le Boy RINO Establishment and the entire National Liberal legal machine lined up against us in an old courtroom in Aberdeen, MS for it to all finally be revealed. That’s the deal the state’s top politicians made with the ACLU! That’s what this was all about!
The MARIS map packet with 2020 census data that was included in the conference report is sitting right there in black and white. Almost exact opposites.
Until January of this year, all anyone had seen was the large statewide map with a little pink spot in the upper corner of DeSoto. I’ll attach that and the census data from the MARIS map packet included in the conference report at the bottom.
DeSoto County is District 21. The whole county:
150,203 people.
64.80% White.
25.17% Black.
Voting-age: 67.13% White. 24.85% any-part Black.
Then look at Subdistrict 21-1, the sliver they slipped in on us:
35,111 people.
36.26% White.
52.40% Black.
Voting-age: 40.83% White. 50.52% any-part Black.
They didn’t draw the subdistrict to be competitive. They drew it to just clear 50%. Just enough to call it a majority-minority district. Just enough, pre-Callais, to claim the Voting Rights Act made them do it. That’s not coincidence, that’s the deal.
1/2
Now look at Hinds around the capital in Jackson. Majority-Black county. They did the exact opposite.
District 7-1, the big Hinds piece: 72.60% any-part Black voting-age. 24.36% White.
District 7-3, the slice next to it: 51.83% White voting-age. 43.27% any-part Black.
A majority-White subdistrict in a majority-Black county (Hinds/Jackson). A majority-Black subdistrict in a majority-White county (DeSoto). They offset it.
It is my opinion, based on the facts that have been revealed, that the state’s top RINO politicians made the following back-room deal with the Liberal ACLU: if you back off the legal challenges on the majority-white gerrymandered subdistrict around the Capitol Complex District in deep blue Jackson, we will give you a special left-voting gerrymandered subdistrict in a deep red county so you can get some liberal judges elected in a traditionally conservative area.
It might not have just been the ACLU this deal was made with. It was probably also made with the people who run the Democrat Party in Mississippi. You see, the ACLU legal team has to have local people and activist groups agree to sign up as the plaintiffs for their cases. Then they fly in with the money and the attorneys. We may never know the truth. I’m sure all involved will deny it, but they aren’t fooling me.
The state has been building the Capitol Complex District since 2017. I was there at that time. It started with just streets and Capitol Police. In 2023 it expanded to a separate appointed court inside that district. Jackson activists and the NAACP sued over that court. That fight was still hot when these judicial bills were being drawn.
In December 2024 the NAACP dropped its federal case over the Capitol Complex court. They said they were “heartened” by “safeguards.” The case was dismissed without prejudice. The legislative session started weeks later in January. A few months after hiding the map and the details, in April 2025, the Legislature passed the DeSoto judicial subdistrict bills and the Governor signed them. Coincidence? I’ll let you decide.
In other words, they chose to throw DeSoto under the bus, I’m certain because they already don’t like us since we don’t usually vote for the establishment in elections. But they messed up. They underestimated us. We put it all together. We caught them red-handed.
We are sick and tired of the establishment dividing our communities and pitting us against each other based on race. Desoto is a wonderful place to call home. We elect our leaders here based on qualifications not race. We all just want to live together in peace without any liberal judges!
Now, I’m not against having a Capitol Complex District and cleaning up the crime around Jackson at all. In fact, I’m very supportive of the state stepping in to clean up Jackson. But I am against it if it’s going to be at the expense of the safety and prosperity of another area of our state, especially if it’s my home in DeSoto. We don’t want liberal judges and crime here in DeSoto County. The people here want law and order and judges that will uphold those conservative principles. More importantly, we at least want the right to vote for our judges, and right now 86% of our county doesn’t even get to vote on these two new subdistrict judges.
Watson didn’t just break his word to me. He, Fitch, Reeves, and Hosemann all betrayed the 86% of DeSoto County who can’t vote for these judges, and they betrayed their entire conservative Republican base. They have lost my votes in the Republican primary.
They should all PUBLICLY support DeSoto by actively removing this unconstitutional subdistrict. Open these illegal judicial subdistrict seats back up for mid-cycle fair and legal elections where all 100% of our county can vote. And stop making excuses. Cards on the table. All in.
