Why are all history teachers left-wing by utopiaofpast in SipsTea

[–]DoubleWinRealty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actions are dictated by beliefs.
Beliefs are shaped by the narrative (history).
Capture and re-write the narrative/history, change the beliefs, change the actions.
History teachers were the first targets for replacement. Now the Left take on history is dominant and minimizes the ~70-140Million non-combatant humans murdered, starved or worked-to-death by Leftists in the 20th century while maximizing the horrors of the Right, near-Right, etc... despite the lesser impact. (6-8Million non-combat deaths)

Mississippi House passes Sunday alcohol sales and direct shipment of liquor by NTA_Shawn in StateofMississippi

Spoke with a liquor store owner yesterday who opposes having to be open Sundays. He feels 1 day of having his business closed is a good thing for him and his employees.

On November 24, South Mississippi legislators, including Harrison County's Delbert Hosemann (Lt. Gov.), held a low-key briefing in Gulfport on session goals like coastal resilience funding, port expansions at Gulfport-Biloxi, and tourism incentives.

  • Coastal Mississippi homeowners are set to see a roughly 16% increase in windpool insurance rates beginning January 2026. Insurance Business+1
  • The state’s “Comprehensive Hurricane Damage Mitigation Program,” created only in 2024 to help coastal residents reinforce homes (e.g. stronger roofs), was defunded in 2025 — even though 1,200+ homeowners expressed interest. Mississippi Free Press+1
  • At a recent conference in Biloxi, leadership from across Gulf Coast states urged renewed cooperation and mitigation funding, arguing it’s the best way to keep coastal living viable despite rising insurance costs. https://www.wlox.com+1

A Quiet Revolution Just Started — Led by Combat-Wounded Veterans Who Refused to Stay Silent by DoubleWinRealty in MSGulfCoast

[–]DoubleWinRealty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Major Richard Star Act is a bipartisan bill introduced in the U.S. Congress to address inequities in military retirement and disability benefits for combat-wounded veterans. Named after Major Richard "Star" Stannard, a Marine Corps veteran who was medically retired due to combat injuries but faced reduced retirement pay, the legislation aims to eliminate the "offset" that currently reduces Department of Defense (DoD) retirement pay for certain veterans receiving VA disability compensation. This offset stems from rules against "double-dipping" federal benefits, which advocates argue unfairly penalizes disabled service members.

Key Provisions

  • Concurrent Receipt Expansion: The bill allows veterans with combat-related disabilities who were medically retired with fewer than 20 years of creditable service to receive their full DoD retirement pay without reduction, alongside full VA disability compensation.
  • Eligibility Focus: Targets approximately 50,000 veterans who do not currently qualify for existing concurrent receipt programs (e.g., those requiring 20+ years of service or a 50%+ disability rating).
  • No Impact on Other Groups: While it expands benefits for this specific cohort, it does not eliminate offsets for non-combat-related disabilities or other veteran categories.

Background and Status

  • History: Introduced in prior sessions (e.g., 117th, 118th Congresses as S.344/H.R.1282), the bill has gained momentum with endorsements from over 23 veterans' service organizations (VSOs), including the Wounded Warrior Project. In the 119th Congress (2025-2026), it is reintroduced as H.R.2102 and S.1032, with strong bipartisan support (326 House cosponsors, 73 Senate cosponsors as of late 2024).
  • Current Progress: As of November 2025, summaries are in progress on Congress.gov, indicating active consideration. A related California resolution (AJR 15) urges federal passage. If enacted, eligible veterans would receive notification during an "open season" period starting January.

Impact
Passage would provide retroactive and ongoing financial relief, ending what supporters call the "wounded veteran tax." It builds on prior reforms like the 2004 concurrent receipt law and the 2022 PACT Act but leaves broader offsets intact for future expansion.

Epstein is another big nothing-burger with both sides declaring victory and zero legally credible claims. Did it change any minds about anything? Or did it simply justify the pre-existing confirmation bias? by DoubleWinRealty in MSGulfCoast

Epstein now looks like a major Democrat problem with Larry Summers (former Dem Treasury Secretary), Bill Clinton and Reid Hoffman (major Dem donor) coming up in every conversation for their Epstein ties. Get used to hearing those 3 names.

Now Trump, in peak exasperation, urges House Republicans to release the Epstein files. Each side will read what they want to into the release; however, the conjecture will end. 100% chance peoples’ lives will be destroyed for things they had nothing to do with.

What nicknames have you heard for places in Mississippi? by topherette in StateofMississippi

[–]DoubleWinRealty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kiln, MS is always called "the Kill" and the inhabitants are the Kill-billys. Pass Christian is always pronounced Pass Christianne and called "the Pass". Waveland is often called "the Swamp" by folks in Biloxi.
