3 Then Elimelech died, and Naomi was left with her two sons. 4 The two sons married Moabite women. One married a woman named Orpah, and the other a woman named Ruth. But about ten years later, 5 both Mahlon and Kilion died. This left Naomi alone, without her two sons or her husband.
6 Then Naomi heard in Moab that the Lord had blessed his people in Judah by giving them good crops again. So Naomi and her daughters-in-law got ready to leave Moab to return to her homeland.
— Ruth 1:3-6

An unmistakable question when need to ask so we may encourage ourselves to action. Why vote?
The answers are different for everyone yet should be strikingly clear for all.
A vote is a rare and concrete chance to express one’s opinion. A vote can alter the course of a community. A vote is a duty. A vote is power.
Yet beneath these practical reasons lies a deeper truth — voting is essential to the life of a republic.
To vote is not merely to select a candidate. It is to step into the public realm.

Roger Wicker, this state’s senior member of the U.S. Senate, is suddenly a hero to many Mississippians for his tough stance against an ICE detention center that a federal agency had proposed for the hamlet of Byhalia in the state’s northeast corner.
I agree that Sen. Wicker deserves a round of thanks.
The Republican lashed out against the Trump administration’s proposal to create the facility, and they have pretty much since shelved the idea.
Minds can change, but it seems final for now that the facility will go elsewhere. Godspeed! Watch that swingin’ door behind you.

The Mississippi House recently went all-in to legalize online sports betting in the state.
House Bill 4074 passed 101-10, a surprisingly large margin, especially when you recall that the much-hyped school choice legislation got through the House by only two votes before dying in a Senate committee.

Too many young people still leave Mississippi to chase opportunities elsewhere. MCPP is on a mission to help change that - by creating the conditions for real, sustained growth so our children and grandchildren choose to stay, build lives, and thrive right here in our state.
The good news? Mississippi is no longer a laggard, but leading.

Poor Speaker White. His omnibus school choice bill got short shrift in the Senate. His resort now appears to be name calling. “Senate leadership has aligned themselves with the ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center, the Mississippi Democratic Party, and the status quo,” he whined.
