Man who tried to sneak into Mississippi high school charged with attempted child exploitation
SUMMARY: 24-year-old Lamarcus McDougle from Jackson has been charged with child exploitation after attempting to sneak into Northwest Rankin High School. Posing as a student, he boarded a school bus but was stopped by administrators for not providing a valid school ID or reason for being on campus. Unarmed, McDougle was detained by the school’s resource officer and then taken into custody by deputies, who discovered he was trying to solicit students. The Rankin County District Attorney’s Office is conducting further investigation into the incident. Photo courtesy of Rankin County Sheriff’s Office.

Mississippi Senate advances tax reform bill, setting up future negotiations with House
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Senate has advanced legislation to reduce the state’s income tax to 2.99% by 2030 and lower the grocery tax from 7% to 5% by July 2025, aiming to provide financial relief amid bipartisan support. However, the plan includes a gas tax increase of 9 cents, funding infrastructure projects. While the Senate’s bill reduces taxes, concerns were raised about its impact on the state’s retirement system, which is only 56% funded. Opponents argued it could create future financial problems. Both the Senate and House have proposed tax reforms, which will be reconciled in conference committees.

Beyond the echo chamber: A conservative’s case for media diversity and why the tide has turned
SUMMARY: A Facebook friend suggested I should diversify my media sources, hinting that my reliance on Fox News limits my perspective. Although I lean conservative, I read various outlets, including the NYT and BBC, to avoid echo chambers. Liberals struggle to understand my support for Trump, but I have legitimate concerns about cultural and governance issues impacting future generations. Media, particularly the NYT, displays significant anti-Trump bias, yet I still seek their viewpoints. The media landscape is shifting, with conservative voices gaining prominence through podcasts and new outlets. Despite a liberal-dominated journalism industry, I maintain a balanced media diet.
