BancorpSouth fined $10 million for bias The Associated Press

NEW YORK — The Department of Justice and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau fined Mississippi-based BancorpSouth $10.6 million, alleging the bank deliberately discriminated against minorities in its lending practices. BancorpSouth, a medium-sized regional bank with $10.6 billion in assets, deliberately avoided building branches in minority neighborhoods in Memphis, Tennessee from at least 2011 to 2013. The bank also denied loans to African Americans and other minorities when compared to neighborhoods with smaller minority populations, the Justice Department and CFPB said, and those minorities who were given loans were given higher interest rates when compared to nonminorities.

A neighboring vacant property between this building and Ryan’s would still have room for a business sign, if needed. The neighboring lot is owned by Sandor Development Company, developer of Corinth Commons.

The jewelry store will occupy two-thirds of the building, which is now owned by FMBank, and the bank will take the other third.

While BancorpSouth is based in Tupelo, Mississippi, the case deals with BancorpSouth’s presence in Memphis. The bank had 22 branches in the Memphis area between 2011 and 2013, all of which were located outside neighborhoods with large minority populations. Maps provided by the regulators also showed nearly all BancorpSouth’s loans originated outside minority neighborhoods of Memphis as well. “BancorpSouth’s discrimination throughout the mortgage lending process harmed the people who were overcharged or denied their dream of homeownership based on their race, and it harmed the Memphis minority neighborhoods that were redlined and denied equal access to aﬀordable credit,” said CFPB Director Richard Cordray in prepared remarks.

Today in History Today is Thursday, June 30, the 182nd day of 2016. There are 184 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 30, 1966, the National Organization for Women (NOW) was founded in Washington, D.C.

On this date: In 1859, French acrobat Charles Blondin walked back and forth on a tightrope above the gorge of Niagara Falls as thousands of spectators watched. In 1865, eight people, including Mary Surratt and Dr. Samuel Mudd, were convicted by a military commission of conspiring with John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln. (Four defendants, including Surratt, were executed; Mudd was sentenced to life in prison, but was pardoned by President Andrew Johnson in 1869.) In 1908, the Tunguska Event took place in Russia as an asteroid exploded above Siberia, leaving 800 square miles of scorched or blowndown trees. In 1912, Canada’s deadliest tornado on record occurred as a cyclone struck Regina, the provincial capital of Saskatchewan, killing 28 people. In 1921, President Warren G. Harding nominated former President William Howard Taft to be chief justice of the United States, succeeding the late Edward Douglass White. In 1936, the Civil War novel “Gone with the Wind” by Margaret Mitchell was first published by The Macmillan Co. in New York. In 1958, the U.S. Senate passed the Alaska statehood bill by a vote of 64-20. In 1963, Pope Paul VI was crowned the 262nd head of the Roman Catholic Church. In 1985, 39 American hostages from a hijacked TWA jetliner were freed in Beirut after being held 17 days.

Corinth County school board budget hearing set The Alcorn School District Board of Education will hold its annual summer budget hearing tonight at the district office on Manpower Road. The meeting, set for 5 p.m., will also include student transfer talks between the school board and the newly formed P16 Parent Advisory Council. The council, along with Superintendent Larry B. Mitchell, wants a stricter student transfer policy. They hope to convince the board to make changes during the meeting.

The drug was recovered and Wilcox was placed under arrest. Daugherty says Wilcox is currently on probation with the Mississippi Department of Corrections and a hold has been placed on him. In a separate arrest, 34-year-old Courtney Barrett of Iuka was charged with the sale of meth. She remains in the Tishomingo County jail awaiting bond. Also, the ongoing drug investigation led to the arrest of 53-year-old Kenneth Moore of Iuka for the possession of meth with intent to sell. Moore was arrested during a traffic stop where deputies found the alleged drug.

Tishomingo Co. Selmer 4 arrested on drug possession charges

Selmer meeting set on budget concerns

TISHOMINGO COUNTY — The Tishomingo County Sheriff’s Department recently arrested several individuals for meth. On Monday, the department arrested 18-year-old Austin Pryce Jones of Tishomingo for the possession of meth, along with resisting arrest and the possession of paraphernalia. Earlier, deputies responded to a disturbance call that was happening at home just north of Tishomingo on Highway 25. Once deputies were on the scene, they found Jones causing a disturbance in front of one of the deputies. Jones was placed under arrest. During the pat-down for weapons, alleged meth, along with paraphernalia was found on him. While being taken to the Tishomingo County jail, Sheriff John Daugherty said the suspect caused damage to one of the patrol vehicles. On Wednesday, the department arrested 42-year-old Christopher Wilcox of Iuka for the possession of meth with intent to sell. This stems from deputies stopping his vehicle during a ongoing drug investigation. Daugherty says during that stop, Wilcox attempted to hide the alleged meth.

SELMER, Tenn. — McNairy County Commissioners met before a packed house in Selmer on Monday night, in a contentious meeting as the county faces growing budget concerns, reported WBBJ. Commissioners voted on two hot button issues to try to reduce a $129,000 budget shortfall. A $40 wheel tax fell short by just one vote. And, members largely opposed a 10-percent increase to the property tax. Taxpayers came out to make sure their commissioners knew where they stood. A majority opposed both measures. “We are your employers,” Greg Holt said to the commissioners. “We are not your employees. You are not doing what we want.” County leaders said this has put them in a tough spot with a budget due by July 1. “This is a pretty big setback for the county, as far as moving forward,” said Mayor Ronnie Brooks. “It’s going to eliminate a lot of opportunities for us.”

Corinth, Miss.

A vote for self-government Democracy is too important to be left to the people. That is the global elite’s collective reaction to Britain’s vote to exit the European Union, which is being portrayed as the work of ill-inRich formed xenophobes who nevLowry er should have been entrusted with a decision of such worldNational historical importance. Review Judging by their dismissive tone, critics of Brexit believe that the EU’s lack of basic democratic accountability is one of its institutional advantages – the better to insulate consequential decisions from backward, shortsighted voters. The opiate of the Western political class is cosmopolitanism, making it almost impossible for elites to understand the Brexit vote on its own terms. Britain gave us Magna Carta and such foundational thinkers on the road to democratic rule as John Locke, Algernon Sidney and John Milton. It resisted centralizing monarchs in the turbulence of the 17th century, and defeated continental threats to its sovereignty emanating from Spain (King Philip II), France (Napoleon) and Germany (Hitler). Should it be shocking that it said “no thanks” to continuing to subsume itself in a budding European superstate? Maintaining British sovereignty, broadly construed, was the overwhelming rationale for Brexit. According to a survey by Lord Ashcroft Polls, 49 percent of leave voters said the biggest reason for exiting the EU was “that decisions about the U.K. should be taken in the U.K.” Another 33 percent said it was the best way to regain power over the U.K.’s borders, and 13 percent said they worried the U.K. couldn’t control how the EU “expanded its membership or its powers.” All the critics of Brexit see in the vote, though, is hostility to immigrants. There is no doubt that immigration played a large role. But a country controlling its own borders is a necessary element of sovereignty. The foreign-born population of Britain has doubled in the past 20 years, with the government powerless to stop much of the influx. It, selfevidently, should be the right of the British people to decide whether they want less or more immigration. A constant refrain of Brexit critics is that leaving the EU was much too complex and important an issue to put to a referendum. But the question was simple: Shall parliament remain the supreme lawmaking body in Britain or not? This is a foundational decision that makes sense to put before voters. Princeton historian David Bell is a critic of government by referenda, but has noted how referenda are appropriate when fundamental constitutional questions are at stake: “They represent instances when sovereign power, always ultimately held by the people, but mediated by constitutional structures, temporarily reverts to the people directly, so that they can modify or replace these structures.” The British people voted to reject the EU superstructure that had been hoisted on top of their traditional political institutions. The vote roiled the markets, and another theme of Brexit critics is that leave voters now regret their temper tantrum. But a poll for the Sunday Mirror newspaper found that 92 percent of leave voters were happy with the outcome of the referendum. There may indeed be an economic cost to Brexit, but politics isn’t reducible to a stock index – something that Americans, having once made their own tumultuous exit from an oﬀshore power, should reflexively understand. “You are not to inquire how your trade may be increased, nor how you are to become a great and powerful people, but how your liberties can be secured,” Patrick Henry declared during a 1788 debate over ratifying the Constitution, “for liberty ought to be the direct end of your Government.” In the Brexit vote, a free people insisted, despite the risks, that they will govern themselves. That is an admirable thing, made even more stirring by the fact that the great and good regard the move with such derision.

Prayer for today My Father, help me to see that in my portion of work thou hast entrusted me to help further thy kingdom. Correct me if I am wrong in interpreting thy way. May I concentrate my mind and make my heart and hands do the work which thou hast given for me to do. Amen.

A disastrous decision on abortion The Supreme Court’s decision, striking down the Texas abortion law signed by Governor Rick Perry in 2013, is but the latest example of the lost, confused, sick nation we have become. In the words of the late Justice Antonin Scalia, “A country I do not recognize.” The Court, in an opinion written by Justice Stephen Breyer, found unconstitutional the two contested provisions of the Texas law – that physicians performing an abortion have “admitting privileges” at a hospital within 30 miles of the clinic and that facilities where abortions are performed must meet the standards of an “ambulatory surgical center.” The Court’s decision says that these conditions place an “undue burden” on a woman’s alleged right to an abortion. According to the opinion, prior to the passage of the law in Texas, House Bill 2, “abortion (in Texas) was an extremely safe procedure with very low rates of complications and virtually no deaths.” The “logic” then continues that abortion in Texas was safe before the new requirements, thus the new requirements, which bring

stricter and more costly standards for providing abortions, are not justified and constitute an “undue burden” on women wanting an

abortion. This simplistically glosses over the complex realities of abortion data and the complex realities of abortion. But regardless of how abortion data in Texas may be interpreted, it ignores what drove the passage of the Texas law. The law was, to a large part, a reaction to the Gosnell experience in Pennsylvania. Kermit Gosnell for years operated an unsupervised, filthy abortion factory, ultimately leading to his convictions for murder and manslaughter. After Gosnell’s trial and conviction, states around the nation took notice to prevent similar horrors from happening in their state. The provision in the Texas law requiring that facilities providing abortions meet the standards of an “ambulatory surgical center” was

specifically recommended by the Grand Jury that investigated Gosnell. Perhaps it is gruesome to say – but this is gruesome business – that if Justice Breyer had a daughter who was a victim of Kermit Gosnell, he would be far less cavalier in his conclusion. Would he still believe that the conditions in Texas before the passage of H.B. 2 were just fine and that it was more important that droves of women could be assured of abortions with little eﬀort or worry? It is also worthwhile to think of the bigger picture here. Necessary for a decent, free, and civil nation is meaningful law. And, as this decision shows, unfortunately, that law in our country is no longer meaningful. It is rooted in nothing and is simply the product of the latest trends and whims of judges. The preamble of our constitution states that it was adopted by “We the people ... in order to ... secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” Since the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, which somehow found a constitutional justification elucidating a

woman’s right to destroy her unborn child at will, there have been almost 60 million unborn babies destroyed. What kind of mind would conclude that 60 million destroyed fetuses demonstrates the success of our constitution to “secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity?” It is a total perversion of the purpose of society. Our constitution is supposed to be rooted in our Declaration of Independence, which declares our inalienable right to life. We now live in a culture that denies the priority of life and posterity and is about the convenience of the moment, meaninglessness, and death. Is it any wonder that terrorists, who put no value on life, don’t fear us and feel so free to attack us? Fortunately, there are still tens of millions of God-fearing Christians in America. Here’s hoping latest horrible decision will provide a wake-up call and provoke prayers that it is not too late to stop the abortion tragedy.

Call me what you want Elizabeth Warren has blown it. In just one speech this week, she may have ended any chance she had to become Hillary Clinton’s running mate. When the two took the stage at Cincinnati’s Union Terminal on Monday, they looked like a dynamic duo. Warren is 67, and Clinton is 68, and though that used to be on the verge of old age for presidential politics, it has become the new “seasoned.” (Barack Obama was 47 when he was elected. George W. Bush was 54. And Bill Clinton was 46.) Both Warren and Hillary wore shades of blue – certainly no accident. They are such a pair they even dress alike! Both have short blond hair. Both looked energetic, vigorous and enthusiastic. Then they started speaking. And it was all over. Warren was just too darn good. She went after Donald Trump like a hobo on a ham sandwich. She delivered a barnburner, a blockbuster, a foot-stomper of a speech. If one purpose of a political speech is to define your opponent, she had that down pat. Trump, she said, is “a small, insecure moneygrubber” who “cares about

no one but himself.” Trump “will crush you into the dirt to get whatever he Roger wants.” Simon “Trump says he’ll Columnist make America great again. ... It’s stamped on the front of his goofy hat. You wanna see goofy? Look at him in that hat.” The audience roared and clapped and held its sides. Oh, that hat! That baseball cap that seems as if it is stapled to Trump’s scalp. (He wears it to keep his hair from getting mussed. You do not want to be around Trump when his hair gets mussed.) And that “Make America Great Again” motto? When did America stop being great? When it started making such guys as Trump presumptive nominees for president? The Clinton campaign strategy regarding Trump is to continue to get under his skin, continue to poke him with a stick because when he gets angry, which is pretty much all the time, he loses control of his mouth. Warren, the senior Dem-

ocratic senator from Massachusetts, has been designated an oﬃcial stick-poker. Warren summed it all up in a video released last week. “I have to be honest,” she said. “It is hard to talk about Donald Trump. Between his ignorance, his racism, his sexism, his lies – it is actually hard to know where to start.” Boom! Drop the mic. But that is the problem. If you want to become the vice presidential nominee, you do not want to outshine the presidential nominee. True, Clinton seemed to be wowed by Warren’s speech Monday, too. “You just saw why she is considered so terrific, so formidable. Because she tells it like it is,” Clinton said. “I must say, I do just love to see how she gets under Donald Trump’s thin skin.” And it would be nice for Clinton to be able to sit back and talk about foreign policy and fiscal policy and all the other policies that Trump knows nothing about and let her running mate do the nasty stuﬀ. The trouble is, however, voters rarely cast ballots because of who is running for vice president. Clinton has to thread the needle and

pick a running mate who can shine, but not outshine. And nastiness runs both ways. “Crooked Hillary is wheeling out one of the least productive senators in the U.S. Senate, goofy Elizabeth Warren,” Trump tweeted Monday. On Tuesday, Warren said: “What this is really about is, can they bully me into shutting up? Can they just be nasty enough and ugly enough and throw enough stuﬀ in my direction that I’ll say ‘oh’ and just go back into the shadows? And the answer is, nope, not happening.” The same is true for Clinton. Last Wednesday, Trump called her perhaps “the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency.” But isn’t this all just name-calling – just another part of the national entertainment, the national pastime that we call a presidential campaign? Hillary Clinton doesn’t care. This time next year, they can call her whatever they want – just as long as it’s “Madam President.” (Roger Simon is chief political columnist of politico. com, an award-winning journalist and a New York Times best selling author.)

JACKSON — As many as 11 more people may face criminal charges stemming from a Mississippi prison contract bribery scheme, a federal prosecutor said Wednesday. Assistant U.S. Attorney Darren LaMarca told U.S. District Judge Henry T. Wingate during a hearing that prosecutors plan to announce the charges by mid-July. The hearing concerned evidence relating to the sentencing of former Corrections Commissioner Christopher Epps and Brandon businessman Cecil McCrory. The prosecutor also said inquiries reach beyond prison-related cor-

ruption and stretch outside Mississippi. “We’re getting farther away from the trunk of the tree to the branches, but it all began with Mr. Epps, with the trunk,” he said. LaMarca estimated that the net benefit to companies as a result of Epps’ corrupt actions, after some costs were subtracted, was more than $65 million. He said 10 more people could face federal charges, while one could face state charges. LaMarca said investigators have determined that Epps demanded money to exercise his influence not only at the state level, but among county supervisors. Because Epps controlled where state inmates were housed,

that gave him influence over local jails as well, LaMarca said. “Through his position, he was able to wield a great deal of influence, for which Mr. Epps wanted to be compensated above his salary,” he said. Epps and McCrory pleaded guilty in February 2015. Epps faces up to 23 years on charges of money laundering and filing false tax returns related to $1.47 million in bribes prosecutors say he took. He’s forfeiting $1.7 million in assets. McCrory, a former state House member, pleaded guilty to one count of money laundering conspiracy and faces a 20-year sentence. He agreed to forfeit $1.7 million in assets.

Health officials prep for Zika The Associated Press

HOUSTON — The poorest parts of Houston remind Dr. Peter Hotez of some of the neighborhoods in Latin America hardest hit by Zika. Broken window screens. Limited air conditioning. Trash piles that seem to re-appear even after they’re cleaned up. On a hot, humid day this month, Hotez pointed at one pile that included old tires and a smashed-in television with water pooling inside. It was a textbook habitat for the mosquitoes that carry and transmit the Zika virus, and one example of the challenge facing public health oﬃcials. “I’m showing you Zika heaven,” said Hotez, the tropical medicine dean at

Baylor College of Medicine. Hotez and other tropical disease specialists are most concerned about impoverished urban areas and along the Gulf Coast, where the numbers of the mosquito that spreads Zika are expected to spike. Texas already has dealt with dengue fever, transmitted by the same mosquito. Zika causes only a mild and brief illness, at worst, in most people. But it can cause fetal death and severe brain defects in the children of women infected during pregnancy. So far, Texas oﬃcials have reported 48 people infected with Zika, all associated with travel. In one case, the virus was sexually transmitted by someone who had been

infected abroad. Public health oﬃcials have spent months preparing for what they are certain will be at least some locally transmitted cases. “It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when,” said Dr. Umair Shah, the executive director of the Harris County public health department. Florida and other states in the South where the Aedes aegypti mosquito is present also are taking steps to prepare. In Florida, for example, Gov. Rick Scott used his emergency powers last week to authorize spending up to $26.2 million for Zika. His action comes as Congress remains stalemated on President Barack Obama’s $1.9 billion proposal to fight the virus.

CONFESSION To confess is “to declare openly by way of speaking out freely, such confession being the effect of deep conviction of facts,” (W.E. Vine, Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words. p.224). When Jesus asked His disciples, “Whom do men say that I the son of am,” it was Peter, who said “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Matthew 16:17) Peter made this statement out of a deeply held conviction that had come from witnessing the miracles and the teachings of Jesus. Nicodemus said to Jesus, “We know thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest except God be with him. (John 3:2) His statement, like that of Peter was based on the evidence available, produced conviction, and demanded that a statement (confession) be made. In both, though they are slightly different, there is a truth about the deity of Jesus; he is the divine Son of God. This is the foundation principle of Christianity, therefore Paul said in Romans 10:9, 10, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” On the first Pentecost after the resurrection of Jesus, the recorded sermon of Peter draws attention to the fact the “Jesus of Nazareth” was “a man approved of God” (Acts 2:22) and that “God hath made this same Jesus whom ye have crucified both Lord and Christ.” (Acts 2: 36) It is at this point the text indicated the hearers were “pricked in their heart and asked Peter and the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren what shall we do?” (Acts 2:37) The evidence presented had convinced them of the deity of Jesus, and their question indicates their desire to do something about the sin they had committed. Jesus affirmed the necessity of confession when he said, “Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which in Heaven, But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I deny also before my Father which is in heaven, But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I deny also before my Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 10:32,33) In the context of this passage, Jesus is discussing the conflict that would exist between the world and his disciples, and the absolute necessity on their part to confess him in the presence of man, whatever the cost. We can do no less and be pleasing to him. We invite you to study and worship with us at the Danville church of Christ.
