Mississippi Today: Gov. Tate Reeves says ousted welfare scandal lawyer had ‘political agenda,’ wanted media spotlight
Gov. Tate Reeves and attorney Brad Pigott agree on one thing: that Pigott was dismissed from leading the state’s lawsuit to recoup millions of dollars in stolen or misspent welfare money because of politics.
Pigott said it was because he was looking into the roles of former Republican Gov. Phil Bryant, the USM Athletic Foundation and other powerful and connected people or entities Reeves and others didn’t want him looking at.
Reeves on Thursday said he signed off on firing Pigott because the attorney wasn’t up to the task, had a “political agenda” and wanted to be in the media spotlight.

MPB: Funds to aid Jackson's water system held up as governor rose
Years before people in Jackson were recently left without running water for several days, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves claimed to have helped block money to fund water system repairs in the capital city.
Reeves, a Republican, blames Jackson's water crisis on mismanagement at the city level. The city’s latest water troubles are far from its first, and they have stemmed from decaying infrastructure beyond one water treatment plant. The EPA said 300 boil water notices have been issued over the past two years in the city.

Supertalk FM: Mississippi man charged with hate crime for cross burning in Gulfport
The Justice Department has announced that Axel C. Cox has been charged with hate crime and arson violations for burning a cross in his front yard in an attempt to intimidate his Black neighbors in Gulfport.
According to court documents, Cox is charged with one count of criminal interference with the right to fair housing and one count of using fire to commit a federal felony. It is alleged that on December 3, 2020, Cox threatened, intimidated, and interfered with a Black family’s enjoyment of their housing rights by means of cross-burning, an action conceived by the Ku Klux Klan.

The Dispatch: Our View: Attempts to ban books often target the marginalized
The debate over whether certain books can be banned because of their controversial subject matter is hardly new. Almost as long as there have been books, there have been those who sought to suppress ideas expressed in books they find objectionable. In the United States, that practice predates the founding of the country. In 1637, the Puritans who dominated New England banned a book by an English businessman critical of the Puritan movements.
Over the ensuing years, some of what is now recognized as the great works of literature have, from time to time, been banned. Works by Mark Twain, Shakespeare, Harper Lee, F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Steinbeck, James Joyce, Alice Walker, Toni Morrison and countless others were at one time or another deemed too dangerous, subversive or vulgar for consumption. Also on that list was Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451,” ironically a book about banning/burning books.

KFF: STATES THAT HAVE NOT ADOPTED Medicaid Expansion 9.22.22
Although Mississippi’s Secretary of State approved a 2022 Medicaid expansion ballot initiative for circulation in April 2021, on May 19 the organizing committee suspended its campaign following a Mississippi Supreme Court decision ruling that the state’s entire ballot initiative process is inoperable due to procedural errors regarding ballot initiative language in the state’s constitution. While Medicaid expansion was a key issue in the 2019 Mississippi gubernatorial election, current Republican Governor Tate Reeves opposes expansion, making it unlikely that the state will take up expansion through legislation. |

Mississippi Today: Another lawsuit filed over Jackson water crisis
The lawsuit, filed Friday, includes as defendants the City of Jackson, its current and former mayors, the former city public works directors, and companies that have contracted with the city “for their involvement in the ruination of the public water system in Jackson,” attorneys said in a statement. The lawsuit is filed on behalf of four residents to represent all customers. It comes after a nearly two-month long boil-water notice lifted only last week, and a complete failure of the system that resulted in loss of water pressure for most of the 200,000 residents it serves for several days in late August and early September. This prompted an emergency state takeover of the system, and a governor’s state of emergency is still in effect.9.99.22

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves took a swing Friday at the capital city of Jackson—where he lives and which went weeks without clean water. Addressing a crowd in Hattiesburg, the Republican said it was “as always, a great day to not be in Jackson.” The snide remark came as Reeves and city officials point fingers over who is to blame for the water crisis that left that predominately Black community hunting for clean water to drink, cook with, and bathe in for seven weeks. A boil-water notice was lifted on Thursday.9.16.22

From the "How can anyone be so ignorant file" comes a quote from Marjorie Taylor Greene: They just want you to think that all of a sudden the entire population is steadily turning gay or turning trans. Just generation, generation. Probably in about four or five generations, no one will be straight anymore. Everyone will be either gay or trans or non-conforming or whatever the list of 50 or 60 different options there are.
Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene have made big names for themselves as cartoon characters who vote against bills that benefit cancer patients. As lunatics who believe that Democrats are part of a satanic cult of pedophiles who eat children and that California wildfires are caused by Jewish space lasers. As people in charge of making laws who nevertheless say things like “gazpacho police,” when referring to the gestapo, “peach tree dish," when they mean petri, and “wonton killings,” when the word (from the Bible) they were looking for was “wanton.” Boebert was reading a passage at a church in Colorado from Romans that referred to "wanton killing." But she pronounced the word like "wonton" — the Chinese dumpling and than said she didn't know what "Won Ton" Killings were. (and she was serious).
Reminds me of the time Donald Trump brought up those two Corinthians while hanging out a church for a photo op during his first campaign. .

As of August 8, 2022, ADL Center on Extremism (COE) has identified 373 individuals in the Oath Keepers database who are believed to be currently serving in law enforcement agencies across the country. This number is far higher than any previously identified number of extremists within law enforcement; for comparison, a COE report released in 2021 identified 76 cases – 73 of which were unique – in which extremists were found to be serving in law enforcement.
Among these 373 law enforcement employees, COE identified individuals holding a variety of positions, including officers, detectives, sergeants, lieutenants and captains. However, COE also identified individuals who are currently holding senior leadership positions within their respective agencies, including at least ten chiefs of police and eleven sheriffs.
Oath Keepers is an American far-right anti-government militia whose members claim to be defending the Constitution of the United States. It was incorporated in 2009 by founder Elmer Stewart Rhodes, a lawyer and former paratrooper. Most research determined the Oath Keeper membership to be approximately 5,000 members, while leaked data showed Oath Keeper rosters claiming membership of 38,000.

A lot of kids who enter college are given (or use to, anyway) the impression that once they graduate there are jobs waiting for them. Some colleges even set up interviews (some still do...but less and less as the years go on. )You have to have a pretty good paying job to pay off those loans..especially after four years.
After my experience with student loans I always tell people considering college to NEVER take a student loan because it is mostly a trap that will keep you in debt for a long long time (with interest). Because of those loans that the government is freely handing out to kids who have no credit rating and probably never had a loan for anything else... the colleges and universities are taking advantage of that by raising their course charges and then owning the book stores that charge ridiculous prices for books and "necessary" supplies. And it is rare to see a University or College that does not have some kind of building project going on almost every year to "beautify" their campus or build more dorms (which are also expensive and many schools require kids to live on campus on their first year).
Colleges and universities are getting quite rich off those government loans at the expense of the students who opt to go to their school because they have been told that if you want a good paying job you have to go to college. .
