By Felder Rushing

Took a while to figure out that it was a reminder that, decades ago while working in the MSU horticulture greenhouses, we used soil partly excavated from ancient Indian mounds.

Two of the mainstays of our country's legal system are that we are a country of laws, and that no person is above the law.
As a country of laws, we cannot park our cars in the middle of the road or drive at 100 mph. We follow, or we should follow, the ten commandments that state our limits in society. Without these laws our country would be in chaos. The second characteristic is that no individual is above the law. This applies equally to billionaires and paupers, to all races and ethnicities, to young and old, to everyone.

On the first day of the 2026 session, the Mississippi Senate took a strong position against public school vouchers. “Vouchers are not on the table in the Senate,” Mississippi Today reported Education Committee Chairman Sen. Dennis DeBar, Jr., as saying. Later that day the full Senate easily passed two education bills locking in that position.
Will the Senate be able to stick to it?

Years ago while on a business trip to Europe, I visited Versailles, the storied palace monument to French King Louis XIV. It is magnificent, filled with excess of a former age, over the top but un-tacky.
Approaching from the front, the huge building looms in front of one , drawing the eye upward to embellished cornices and countless windows, designed to impress foreign ambassadors and courtiers. It did.

Tom Lehrer’s “National Brotherhood Week” on “That Was The Week That Was” — TW3 —notes, in the introduction, that “During National Brotherhood Week various special events are arranged to drive home the message of brotherhood — this year, for example, on the first day of the week, Malcolm X was killed, which gives you an idea of how effective the whole thing is,” before specifying at the outset of a couple of verses,
“Oh, the white folks hate the black folks,
And the black folks hate the white folks;
To hate all but the right folks
Is an old established rule

As we kick off 2026, the Mississippi Center for Public Policy is more energized than ever. We are excited about the successes our state has seen – and we have a plan to build on that momentum with further free market reform!
For decades, our state lagged behind. Growth was slow and too many young people left our state to seek opportunities elsewhere. That is starting to change.
Over the past five years, Mississippi has seen more economic growth than in the previous 15 combined.

After a recent successful bow hunt, JH came out of the woods before daylight vanished. He had his deer loaded and he just sat on his four-wheeler until dark so others hunting would not be disturbed. The sunset was magnificent and he took it all in. As he continued to wait for darkness, he heard a “buzzing” noise from above and he turned his eyes skyward. He watched birds flying across the timber heading for agricultural fields. The “buzzing” continued and he noticed the birds that were creating this sound were spiraling to the ground. “There were hundreds of them,” he related.
