House bill would allow early voting BY ZACK STEEN zsteen@dailycorinthian.com

A law that would extend early voting for Mississippians is getting some attention in the Capitol this week. House Bill 228 would allow noexcuses in-person early voting, starting 14 days before an election. Current law only lets people vote

early if they will be out of town on Election Day. “Anything that helps people vote easier is best,” said Rep. Nick Bain (D-Alcorn). “I think early voting could certainly make it easier for people to vote.” The bill passed the House Elections Committee on Monday and will move to the full House for a vote.

Other voter bills discussed this week include House Bill 373 which would authorize online, first-time voter registration for people with a valid driver’s license. Another bill, House Bill 1054, would create a group to study restoration of voting rights for people

Mayor, aldermen attend MML Conference For the Daily Corinthian

Corinth Mayor Tommy Irwin and Alderman J.C. Hill recently attended the Mississippi Municipal League’s 2017 MidWinter Legislative Conference in Jackson. Along with approximately 600 others, they participated in discussions of current legislative issues and their impact on local government. During the

conference, participants were also able to network with their legislators and provide important feedback on issues that are critical to municipalities. Attendees participated in the annual MML Day at the Capitol, meeting with state leaders during a legislative briefing. “Getting our municipal leaders to the Capitol at the start of the legislative session is an

important component of our Mid-Winter Conference,” said MML President Mayor Jimmy Clyde of Magee. “The excellent participation we have is indicative of the commitment and interest our local oﬃcials have in being part of the legislative process.” The opening general session of the conference featured an update on the MML and several

In 2015, the government reduced Social Security checks for 173,000 Americans, up 380% from 2002. The Earnings Limitations test will increase in 2017 to $16,920 per year and in the year you reach Full Retirement Age that limit will increase to $44,880 for the year or $3,740 per month. So, you can work and collect Social Security, but you need to be very aware of these thresholds. Most readers know that collecting Social Security benefits before Full Retirement Age can lead to a temporary reduction in retirement benefits. But, did you

know that it can also reduce payments to family members — such as spouse or minor dependent children — who collect benefits on your record? Your Social Security benefits are not tax-free. Maybe people don’t have to pay tax on their Social Security benefits, however, if you have significant taxable income in addition to your Social Security benefits, up to 85 percent of your benefits could be subject to tax.

Currently, an ex-convict must ask a legislator to sponsor a bill, and it must be approved by a twothirds vote of the state House and Senate. The numbers of those bills were never large, and they have dwindled to just a few each year. The study group would consist of lawmakers, a judge, a prosecutor, a public defender and a person appointed by state corrections commissioner — people who know how the criminal justice system works. They would make recommendations for lawmakers to consider in 2018. Advocates of change said Tuesday the current process of restoring the rights is cumbersome. However, some representatives including Bain say a study group is unnecessary. “I think the process of restoring voting rights now is the correct process,” added Bain.

Across the Region Walnut Man injured in shooting WALNUT — According to the Walnut Police Department, a local man was injured following a Monday night shooting on North Main Street. The Southern Sentinel reports that David Porterfield of Walnut was shot once in the midsection as the result of a disturbance that occurred around 8 p.m. Tippah County Sheriff’s Investigator Jeremy Rainey said Porterfield went to a man’s residence on Main Street in Walnut where he caused the disturbance. He was then shot by the homeowner. Following the shooting, Porterfield drove himself to the Tippah County Hospital where he was conscious and talking upon his arrival. He was later airlifted to the North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo due to the extent of his injury. His condition remains unknown. The alleged shooter was taken into custody for questioning and is expected to be arraigned and charged with aggravated assault this week. The shooting is currently under investigation by the Walnut

Police Department and the Tippah County Sheriff’s Office. More information will be forthcoming, according to law enforcement officials.

Booneville Police make arrest in auto burglary BOONEVILLE — A Booneville man faces a felony charge after allegedly breaking into a vehicle. Booneville police arrested Todderick J. Copeland, 30, of 701 MLK Drive, Booneville, on a charge of one count burglary and larceny of an automobile. He is accused of breaking into a vehicle at a business on North Second Street Jan. 5 where $20 cash was reported taken. His bond was $10,000.

Selmer McNairy County lands $50,000 tourism grant SELMER, Tenn. — The success of her first grant application brought the new McNairy County Director of Tourism to tears last week. A $50,000 state grant will allow for remod-

eling of the old jail in the McNairy County Courthouse this spring. This refurbishing of the jail is made more significant because it is where legendary McNairy County Sheriff Buford Pusser worked during his time as the county’s lead law enforcement official. McNairy County closed the old jail atop the courthouse when the county built the McNairy County Justice Center. “When I found out that we had been approved for the grant, I teared up,” said tourism director Jessica Huff. “It was my first grant application and the waiting to say if we were approved was hard.” Huff’s plans are to hopefully have the work started sometime around mid-March. She would love to have the work done prior to Sheriff Buford Pusser Festival held the Saturday prior to Memorial Day. The plans for the work include putting photos about Pusser on the walls of the jail and a timeline that will detail his exploits as sheriff. Huff would like to have a short film that would be informative to tourists and others seeking additional information on the legendary lawman who served from 1964-1970. She

is trying to locate an interview Pusser did with 60 Minutes’ Roger Mudd in 1969 that is believed to have caught the attention of a movie producer in Hollywood. Pusser was made famous after the move trilogy “Walking Tall” was released in the 1970s. The first movie was based on the W.R. Morris book, “The 12th of August,” the day Pusser’s wife, Pauline, was murdered. “I want to have a photo wrap in the elevator that will be about Sheriff Pusser,” said Huff. There are no regular tours of the old jail, but Huff would like to see an opportunity opened to allow tourist groups or others to be able to schedule a visit to the jail. Huff said she is talking with McNairy County Mayor Ronnie Brooks about what can be done to give more people access the jail after is completely remodeled. The tourism director said she is also working with Tina Mullis, the curator of the Buford Pusser Museum in Adamsville, on how they can work together to keep the Pusser legacy alive in McNairy County to help lure tourists.

Corinth, Miss.

Rhetoric meets reality President Donald Trump’s inaugural address may not have risen to the rhetorical level of John F. Kennedy (“The torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans” and “Ask not what Cal your country can do for you, Thomas ask what you can do for your country”), or Ronald Reagan’s Columnist critique of government (“Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem”), or even Barack Obama’s in 2009 (“On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord”), but the speech set out large goals, many details of which are yet to be revealed. That’s OK, though, because in the words of President Obama in his first inaugural address: “What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them, that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long, no longer apply.” The ground has not only shifted again, it may have opened up to receive the failed policies that have caused the problems Trump addressed in his speech. The new president reflected the views of his supporters when he said, “We are transferring power from Washington, D.C., and giving it back to you, the people.” He added, “For too long, a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.” That should have made members of the establishment and politicians in attendance nervous. Perhaps they were thinking, “We survived Reagan’s attempts to shrink government, we can survive Trump, too.” Mr. Trump said his “new vision” would place “America first” and that decisions will be made based on whether they benefit the U.S. more than other countries. Perhaps his most grandiose pledge was to eradicate radical Islamic terrorism from the face of the Earth. That’s easier said than done, given that radical Islam is a philosophy tied to an apocalyptic religion with no headquarters and no single leader. He could start by following through on his promise of “extreme vetting” for people wanting to enter the country from nations that promote and export the terrorist ideology. Another grandiose promise reiterated one he made during the campaign: to fix the inner cities, which have been run for decades by Democrats. He said that crime, drugs and gangs have stolen many lives. “This American carnage,” he called it. Similar promises have been made over several administrations, but the problem seems to have only gotten worse. How does government put fathers back in homes or create families where none existed? School choice, which Trump favors, will help some, but gangs and drugs are a deeper and more complicated problem. Trump is unlike any president we have had, perhaps a bigger populist than Andrew Jackson or Theodore Roosevelt. While many of his goals lack specifics, at least he has goals and appears to care less about the journey than the destination. This could keep the depleted Democrat opposition in Congress oﬀ balance. If he continually focuses on the problem, rather than the process, the process might be simply a matter of negotiation, which Trump has long claimed is his strong suit. Every president starts his administration with a blank slate. Trump needs to keep problems front and center, moving quickly toward solutions. If the left denies these problems even exist, they lose. Trump seems to believe, as Ronald Reagan did, that the people, properly inspired, motivated and confident, are the ones who make America great and not himself, or any other politician. As that old ’60s chant goes, “The people united can never be defeated.” Trump’s best chance at uniting will come when problems begin to get resolved. If the Left wants to oppose success, let them.

Prayer for today Gracious Father, grant that I may not be willing to spend my life for trivial needs, for thou dost measure me for what I am, and boldest me for what I lose in waste. Be with me in my judgment of what is best, that I may make the most of my life. Amen.

A verse to share I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, —Ephesians 3:16

New president faces a new world “Don’t Make Any Sudden Moves” is the advice offered to the new president by Richard Haass of the Council on Foreign Relations, which has not traditionally been known as a beer hall of populist beliefs. Haass meant the president should bring his National Security Council together to anticipate the consequences before tearing up the Iran nuclear deal, moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem or shooting down a missile being tested by Kim Jong Un. In arguing against rash action, Haass is correct. Where the CFR and the establishment are wrong, and Donald Trump is right, however, is in recognizing the new world we have entered. The old order is passing away. Treaties and alliances dating from the Cold War are ceasing to be relevant and cannot long be sustained. Economic patriotism and ethnonationalism, personified by Trump, seem everywhere ascendant. Transnationalism is yielding to tribalism. The greater danger for President Trump is that the

movement he led will be abandoned, its hopes dashed, and the agenda that Trump Pat rejected and Buchanan routed will be reimColumnist posed by a Republican Establishment and its collaborators in politics and the press. Again, it was Trump who read the nation right, which is why he is taking the oath today. The existential threat to the West no longer comes from the East, from a Russian army crashing through Poland and Germany and driving for the Elbe and Fulda Gap. The existential threat to the West comes, instead, from the South. The billion-plus peoples of the Maghreb, Middle East and sub-Sahara, whose numbers are exploding, are moving inexorably toward the Med, coming to occupy the empty places left by an aging and dying Europe, all of whose native-born popu-

lations steadily shrink. America’s bleeding border is what concerns Americans, not the borders of Estonia, South Korea, Kuwait or the South China Sea. When Trump calls NATO “obsolete,” he is saying that the great threat to the West is not Putin’s recapture of a Crimea that belonged to Russia for 150 years. And if the price of peace is getting out of Russia’s face and Russia’s space, maybe we should pay it. George Kennan himself, the architect of Cold War containment of Stalin’s Russia, admonished us not to move NATO to Russia’s border. Of Brexit, the British decision to leave the EU, Trump said this week, “People, countries want their own identity and the U.K. wanted its own identity ... so if you ask me, I believe others will leave.” Is he not right? Is it so shocking to hear a transparent truth? How could Europe’s elites not see the populist forces rising? The European peoples wished to regain their lost sovereignty and national

identity, and they were willing to pay a price to achieve it. Given the strength of ethnonationalism in Europe, neither the eurozone nor the EU is likely to survive the decade. We should prepare for that day, not pretend that what is taking place across Europe, and worldwide, is some passing fever of nationalism. The imperative of the new era is that the great nuclear powers -- China, Russia, the United States -- not do to each other what Britain, France and Germany did to each other a century ago over a dead archduke. President Trump should build the wall, secure the border, impose tariﬀs, cut taxes, free up the American economy, bring the factories home, create millions of jobs and keep us out of any new wars. With rare exceptions, wars tend to be fatal to presidencies. Patrick J. Buchanan is the author of the new book “The Greatest Comeback: How Richard Nixon Rose From Defeat to Create the New Majority.”

State’s press to ‘roast’ editorial cartoonist Ramsey STARKVILLE — As is usual this time of year, the Mississippi Press Association Education Foundation will be holding a celebrity “roast” to raise money for journalism scholarships and internships by making fun of someone prominent from the state’s political, business, educational, or cultural establishment. In most years, one of the staples of the event has been the participation of longtime Clarion-Ledger editorial cartoonist and Mississippi Public Broadcasting host Marshall Ramsey in skewering the honoree. However, on the evening of Jan. 26 at the Jackson Hilton, the tables will turn as Ramsey gets his night in the barrel as the guest of honor – and this time, it’s mostly the politicians who will have the rhetorical knives. For a decade, I worked closely with Marshall on the editorial staﬀ of the ClarionLedger. He’s an immensely talented guy. His sense of humor is quick, jarring and sometimes just plain wicked – but all that translates into powerful cartoons. Marshall’s work over the last two decades have had significant impact on the state’s political landscape. Smart politicians learned not to complain about

the exaggerations of physical traits in his caricatures of them – the height of Sid Salter former Attorney GenColumnist eral Mike Moore’s hair or the gap between former Gov. Haley Barbour’s front teeth are prime examples – lest their next appearance feature even more outrageous exaggeration.

dation and the American Cancer Society. In recent years, Ramsey has become a dedicated runner and has completed marathons as part of his fundraising repertoire. Roasters for the event will include Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, colorful State Rep. Steve Holland of Plantersville, veteran journalist David Hampton, and athletic and fitness trainer Paul Lacoste. There may also be a surprise guest or two on the dais as well.

‘Blue Lives Matter’ bill advances BY JEFF AMY Associated Press

JACKSON — A bill to double penalties for crimes targeting police oﬃcers, firefighters and medics — in or out of uniform — is moving ahead in the Mississippi Senate. The Judiciary A Committee decided with a voice vote over some opposition Tuesday to send Senate Bill 2469 to the full Senate. The proposal says any crime committed against emergency personnel because of their status as police oﬃcers, firefighters or emergency medical technicians would be a hate crime, under the same state law that already doubles penalties for targeting people because of race, ethnicity, religion or gender — but

does not cover crimes targeting gay, lesbian or transgender people. Committee Chairman Sean Tindell, RGulfport, said the “Blue Lives Matter” measure is needed after police were shot in Dallas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, apparently by people aggrieved over how police were treating African American men. “I think this is the perfect avenue to protect our law enforcement and tell people that it you target them, we’re going to come down on you,” Tindell said. Gov. Phil Bryant and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, both Republicans, support the measure. After the meeting, Tindell said he didn’t know of any incidents where police had been targeted

in Mississippi. The committee rejected an amendment by Sen. Chad McMahan, R-Guntown, which would have limited the enhanced penalties to crimes committed against personnel in uniform, which he said would prevent off-duty officers from abusing the law, say, if they simply get into a fist-fight with someone. The committee also rejected an amendment by Sen. Barbara Blackmon, D-Canton, which would have made it a hate crime for a police officer to kill someone in violation of official procedures. Blackmon argued that Mississippi needs to do more to protect black people from being targeted by police. “We want to give them, under color of law, en-

hanced protection,” Blackmon said of police oﬃcers. “But when they do wrong, under color of law, we won’t penalize them.” Erik Fleming, chief lobbyist for the Mississippi chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, said the group wants to make sure people won’t be subject to enhanced penalties for verbal disputes with police during protests. “It’s unnecessary, but if it’s going to pass, it should have First Amendment protections and it should be only for uniformed oﬃcers,” Fleming said. Tindell said political protesters will be able to show juries they had no hateful intent, limiting its use by prosecutors in such cases.

White House doubles down on voter fraud claim BY JULIE PACE Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The White House on Tuesday stuck firmly to President Donald Trump’s claim that millions of people voted illegally in the November election, but provided no evidence to back up his assertion. Trump spokesman Sean Spicer said the president “does believe” that he lost the popular vote to Democrat Hillary Clinton only because of widespread illegal ballots. “He believes what he believes, based on the information he was provided,” Spicer said. But he would not detail what information he was referring to, citing only a 2008 study that called for updating voter rolls but did not conclude there has been pervasive election fraud. Spicer, who spent several years at the Republican National Committee before joining the White House, would not say whether he shared the president’s belief. He also sidestepped questions about whether the White House would investigate the voter fraud

allegations, saying only, “Anything is possible.” Trump first raised the prospect of illegal voting during the transition. Then, during a reception with lawmakers at the White House Monday evening, he again claimed that he’d lost the popular vote because 3 million to 5 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally had voted. That’s according to a Democratic aide familiar with the exchange who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private meeting. Trump’s assertion appears to be part of a continuing pattern for him and his new administration in which falsehoods overshadow his outreach eﬀorts. Both Trump and Spicer made false comments over the weekend about the crowds who gathered for the inauguration. Aides and associates of the president say that he is dogged by insecurity over his loss of the popular vote and believes Democrats and the media are questioning the legitimacy of his presidency. On Tuesday, the president tweeted a

photograph from the inauguration taken from an angle that accentuated the crowd and said he planned to hang the image in the press area of the White House. Trump has packed his first days in oﬃce with meetings with business leaders and lawmakers. He’s also moved to unravel former President Barack Obama’s legacy, including signing orders Tuesday to advance construction of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access oil pipelines. Both projects had been blocked by the Obama administration. Besides taking steps to advance construction of the oil pipelines, subject to renegotiation of the agreements, Trump also signed a notice Tuesday requiring the materials for the pipelines be constructed in the United States, though it was unclear how he planned to enforce the measure. “From now we are going to start making pipelines in the United States,” he said. Trump has sought to focus his first full week in oﬃce on jobs and the economy. Republicans, as well as some unions,

have cited the pipeline projects as prime opportunities for job growth. Obama stopped the proposed Keystone XL pipeline in late 2015, declaring it would have undercut U.S. eﬀorts to clinch a global climate change deal that was a centerpiece of his environmental legacy. The pipeline would run from Canada to Nebraska where it would connect to existing lines running to U.S. refineries on the Gulf Coast. The U.S. government needs to approve the pipeline because it would cross the nation’s northern border. Separately, late last year, the Army Corps of Engineers declined to allow construction of the Dakota Access pipeline under Lake Oahe, saying alternative routes needed to be considered. The Standing Rock Sioux tribe and its supporters say the project threatens drinking water and Native American sites, though Energy Transfer Partners, the company that wants to build the pipeline, disputes that and says the pipeline will be safe.

Top Republicans accept Trump’s ‘alternative facts’ Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The top three Senate Republicans refused on Tuesday to disavow President Donald Trump’s false claim that millions of illegally cast ballots cost him the popular vote. The comments from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his top lieutenants suggested that some leading Republicans would rather follow Trump into the realm of “alternative facts” than confront the new chief exJaye Smith, RMT #67

ecutive. McConnell and other top Republicans faced questions after Trump told a group of congressional leaders at the White House Monday night that he would have won the popular vote but for 3 million to 5 million ballots cast by immigrants in the country illegally. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by nearly 2.9 million votes and there is no indication that significant numbers of voters cast illegal ballots for either candidate. “It does occur,” McConnell told reporters at the Capitol Tuesday on the issue of election fraud. “There are always arguments on both sides about how much, how frequent and all the rest. ... The notion that election fraud is a fiction is not true.” McConnell, R-Ky., made his comments at the same time Trump’s spokesman, in a briefing at the White House, stuck firmly to Trump’s claim about illegal voting in the November election, though without providing any evidence to back it up. “He believes what he believes, based on the information he was provided,” said press secretary Sean Spicer, without detailing that information. The No. 2 Senate Republican, John Cornyn of Texas, also passed up a chance to dispute Trump’s claim Tuesday.

Baker’s dozen 2017 Sabrient System’s annual “Baker’s Dozen” stock picks has mostly beaten the market since its debut in 2009. The investment research firm’s 13 stocks have averaged a return of about 24 percent the past eight years, well above the Standard & Poor’s 500 index’s 12.7 percent gain over roughly the same period, not including dividends. A poor bet on generic drug-maker Mylan caused it to stumble last year, though. Sabrient’s 2016 list, which debuted about two weeks into last January, posted an average gain of 14.9 percent over a 12-month period ended Jan. 13, not including dividends. By comparison, the S&P increased about 21 percent in the same period. Last year, Sabrient’s list favored stocks that would benefit from consumer spending, like airlines, cruise operators and retailers, while avoiding companies reliant on commodities. Sabrient’s worst pick was Mylan, which sank about 26 percent. Its winners included T-Mobile

US, gaining 51 percent, and Citizens Financial Group, which climbed nearly 63 percent. Sabrient’s 2017 list includes Western Digital and other technology companies, and insurers likely to benefit from rising interest rates. It has two health care stocks and no airlines.

Class of ’17: Sabrient is betting that technolgy and companies that will benefit from interest rate hikes will grow. Company/index

MARKET SUMMARY G

Eye on Boeing

Holiday boost?

Wall Street predicts that Boeing’s latest quarterly results improved from a year earlier. The aircraft manufacturer is expected to report today that its earnings increased in the last three months of 2016 versus the same period of 2015. They also project that the company’s revenue declined. That would be in line with the company’s third-quarter results. Investors will be listening for an update on Boeing’ s outlook for aircraft production.

Did the holiday shopping season spur more transactions for eBay? Investors will find out today when the e-commerce giant reports earnings for the fourth quarter of 2016. Financial analysts forecast that eBay’s earnings and revenue increased from a year earlier. The company grew its earnings in the third quarter after posting lower results in the first half of the year.
