At a Jan. 23 fundraiser at the Whispering Woods hotel and conference center in Olive Branch, MS, a suburb of Memphis, TN, across the state line, the senior senator from Mississippi let his $500-a-plate audience know what he really wants to do: retire.

“He said he planned on retiring,” recalled a DeSoto County Republican in the room that evening, but “he was approached by individuals who had asked him to run again.”

...

But the Mississippi senator has had a long career on the panel, and he has been especially successful on one front in particular: according to a review by Breitbart News, Cochran has more government buildings and programs named after himself than any current member of Congress.

At least 10 taxpayer-subsidized buildings bear Cochran’s name, and many more awards and government programs—even annual events throughout his state—laud the senior senator from Mississippi by pumping his ego with tax dollars.

...

For quick reference, here is the list of all Cochran buildings, monuments, and programs included in this article:

Thad Cochran Center at the University of Southern Mississippi
Thad Cochran Marine Aquaculture Story at the University of Southern Mississippi
Thad Cochran National Warmwater Aquaculture Center at Mississippi State University
Thad and Rose Cochran Hall at the Mississippi University for Women

LOL! the media sure presents one side, and one side only Vasilly... Anyone else find the hypocrisy of all the statements from these government actors?

Kelly is accused of sneaking into St. Catherine's Village in Madison, where Rose Cochran has resided since 2000, suffering from progressive dementia and now bedridden.


Cochran on Saturday issued a statement:
"I have been fortunate to have a wonderful family, and like so many families, we are deeply affected by my wife's serious, long-term illness, that we consider to be a very private family matter. We will continue doing everything we can to protect my wife's safety and security."Well then Senator "King of Pork" Cochran, can we count on a half dozen taxpayer funded earmarks for safety and security of your "Very Private Matter"?


Donald Clark, attorney for Sen. and Rose Cochran, said the Cochrans'
"privacy and dignity have been violated."Yeah, what privacy in America? Dignity? Like cavity searching Americans? Killing Americans on a daily basis with impunity? Violated? What hasn't 'The State' violated over the American citizen and the world over the past decade?



"We became aware of an unauthorized picture, posted on the internet, of Mrs. Cochran, taken literally in her room by her bedside at St. Catherine's," Clark said. "Sen. Cochran retained my law firm on this matter, and we looked at various legal options. We notified the proper authorities, which in this case is the city of Madison Police Department."

Madison Police arrested Clayton Thomas Kelly, 28, of Pearl on Friday night on a charge of exploitation of a vulnerable adult. He's being held on a $100,000 bond.$100K bail, just incredible!

If any person, group, or entity that "Exploits" vulnerable adults, it's government. Murdered homeless, Murdered senior citizens... on & on of the state spying, stealing, invading, wrecking, beating, wounding, and even killing Americans. Quite the biased print propaganda of hypocrisy, wouldn't anyone say?


Here's the latest video from the courtroom circus "Orange Suit Perp Walk" for propaganda media and clueless public to exploit a vulnerable suspect?
