New class graduates from NMLETC
SUMMARY: Class B 76 graduated from the North Mississippi Law Enforcement Training Center in Tupelo, Mississippi. Twelve cadets completed a rigorous three-month basic academy that included training in self-defense, firearms, driving, constitutional law, and search and seizure. This was the first class under the academy’s new director, Dan Mckinney, who expressed immense pride in the graduates’ hard work and perseverance. Among the graduates was Deputy Joe Hamilton from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, praised for his dedication and selflessness. The next basic class is scheduled to start in August.

SUMMARY: President-elect Donald Trump announced that he will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the deadline for TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to find an approved U.S. buyer. This decision follows the removal of TikTok from app stores due to a federal law requiring ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations or face a ban, citing national security concerns. Trump’s order would delay the law’s restrictions, offering ByteDance more time to negotiate a sale. Despite challenges, including TikTok’s legal disputes, Trump emphasized the app’s potential value and the importance of keeping it operational in the U.S.

SUMMARY: Joe Biden’s presidency aimed to “restore the soul” of America post-Trump, but despite bipartisan legislative successes and international alliances, he struggled to change the political landscape. Four years after defeating Trump, Biden faced electoral defeat as Trump made a political comeback. Polls show only a quarter view Biden favorably, even lower than Trump during his presidency. Although Biden touted achievements in infrastructure and economic recovery, rising costs and inflation eroded public support. As he prepares to leave office, questions persist about his legacy and the permanence of the political shift towards populism, leaving Biden’s ambitions unfulfilled.
