Decluttering is beneficial for the good of the mind and, according to Dante, obligatory for the good of the soul. The Fifth Cornice in Purgatory, as described in Cantos XX and XXI of that part of The Divine Comedy, is where souls of those who were hoarders in their earthly lives atone for their sin.

It’s hard to read or watch anything online without running into false and misleading advertising. My favorites are ads that promise a common food or simple household product can reverse aging, end Alzheimer’s, and cure dementia. None attain FDA approval, of course, and often claim powerful interests want their ingredients kept secret. Somehow us older folks get exposed to lots of these ads.

Though school choice talks have stalled this session, bills regarding a state tax program that incentivizes Mississippians to donate to private schools have now passed both chambers of the Legislature and head to final negotiations.
Since 2020, private schools and foster care organizations have been receiving money through the Children’s Promise Act, which gives donors a dollar-for-dollar tax credits for up to 50% of the donor’s state tax liability.

Attorney General Lynn Fitch's office has done the citizens of Indianola a continued disservice.
For a year and a half, the AG's office has failed to effectively prosecute and resolve its civil demands against former Aldermen Ruben Woods, Marvin Elder and Sam Brock.
The AG filed its suit against the three aldermen in October 2024, following State Auditor Shad White's summer 2024 demands against them for their role in the alleged illegal $38,900 payout to Spencer Construction.

Decades before Tate County Genealogical & Historical Society, Inc. was formed, the White Men and Women were honored for their service in WWII in a book of photographs with brief bios of their military service compiled into a book.
TCGHS would like to do the same for the Black Men and Women who served in this conflict in belated appreciation for their service. We would put this information in book form to add to our library. To do that, we need the help of those servicemen and women still alive or their family members.

For fifty years Pentagon planners, whose job it is to analyze risk and threats around the globe, have concluded year after year that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is the worst possible scenario to confront - but it never happened – until now! The world is now witnessing firsthand what scared the military analysts. When big flows of oil and gas are interrupted it doesn’t take long to disrupt economic activity. Disrupt it long enough and the world economy grinds to a crawl. The fog of war is still thick. The fog of resolution is thicker still. How does this situation end?

The warehouse, built in 1983, is being replaced by a $95 million, state-bond-funded, 400,000-square-foot facility located in Canton.
A bill to move forward on the sale of the state’s old Alcohol Beverage Control warehouse in Gluckstadt is headed to a legislative conference committee this weekend.

State Senator Bart Williams (R), a Senate conferee, does not foresee any issue during the weekend conference process.
