* State received 250,000 K95 masks. They are distributed to tier 1 facilities.

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.

Reopen Mississippi Reeves. As planned, on schedule.
Governor says "we have lost 100,000 jobs"
NO, The government has ordered business to shut down not the virus. The government is to blame.
@3:01, just apply for your trumpbux benefits and stay put. There isnt a billionaire or millionaire in the country whose accountants arent currently filing for every SBA loan and benefit available. Relax and get yours too. The democrats are trying to outdo Trump and are foinf to pass a $2000 per person UBI that will sweeten the deal. That combined with my unemployment bonus is making me richer than I have ever been in my entire life!
The eye of the storm maybe peaceful but rough weather ahead mate. Party at Flag Island this weekend.
People in Michigan are protesting the lockdown there.
We may be seeing the end of the people letting government dictate them what to do.
It does not matter when a state did stay at home, or if they even did it, all states numbers are falling, except New York where the Governor did an awful job of explaining that you can slow the spread by washing your hands apparently.
Lamont, You big dummy!!!
He's an idiot, and it's really beginning to show.
I was not the biggest Tate fan when we elected him . But the guy has done a good job with all that he has had to handle the first four months. Continue to pray for him. Al of of the things that are so clear to youll now was not clear two months ago. A New Orleans and I were talking can you image the revolt if they had tried to shut down Mardi Gras with no cases at that time. Yes now its a nobrainer but to shut down New Orleans to tourism for a year is no small thing Thats a lot of jobs.
Again, the money is already lost. You'll get back to your dirt business 3:01
4:33 pm
That group in MI?
80% will be afflicted with CV. Most will suffer and 4-6% will die.
If that is your militia....you are screwed worse than Pemberton was.
Schools have to reopen before business, otherwise you won't have a third to a half of workers that can go back to the workplace.
Melvin, I'll stipulate that you know you way around a McRib sandwich. But when it comes to money you've got about as much experience as Antard has managing a zoo.
" was not the biggest Tate fan when we elected him . But the guy has done a good job with all that he has had to handle the first four months."
I agree 100%.
And his pressers are now light years ahead of what they were only a few weeks ago.
I seriously doubt Jim Hood would have handled this any better.
Being unemployed suddenly is not a joke. People are hurting. Families are hurting. Meanwhile, Tater is cruising the interstates at 88 mph in the back seat of an MHP vehicle.
Well, Mississippi has done been saved by the Tater:
restartms.ms
If this group was the best Tate could find, it is going to get really interesting. On the plus side, some people will come out of this just fine...but the vast majority won't be one of those people.
With a lot of reporting in the media regarding future meat shortages, I am curious if Gov. Reeves can relax some of the laws regarding selling fish and game meat? There is a lot of wild pork in the forests and fields of Mississippi.
would Jim Hood have shut down fishing? "absolutely not"
@7:28 AM
I've been thinking the same things myself. I wonder how legal it would be to construct markets to sell meat on the street?
Tate is doing surprisingly well- in everything. But then again, the former governor had such a low bar that doing something actually seems like crushing it.

Great Scott! Hopefully he travels back in time and tells his childhood self to not get in to politics.
7:28 pm and 7:52 am
Are you both unaware that this virus began with human contact with wild game in " wet markets" in China?
Are you unaware that 135 species and counting are infected with this virus?
Eating wild game is about the dumbest thing anyone could do right now.
Well, well... Let's see...the stimulus package could have focused the money on jobs by sending checks to businesses and corporation only if they continued to pay the employees on hand at the time of the shutdown and that money would be full reimbursement for employee costs including maintaining insurance.
The package money didn't have to be funneled the way it was to banks and through tax filing companies either. The States have business tax records.
The Senate relief bill was a boondoggle and make no mistake , it was 99% the GOP Senate with the worst giveaways by the nutcases some of you love the most.
It's not that we didn't know how to do this better. It's that people who knew something about how government is supposed to work were fired and replaced with loyal " supporters" who could make "pillows" but didn't have a clue anything other than marketing and sales or stock portfolios.
These " self-made" men and women are learning the hard way that their workers and the little guy who provides them a service actually are crucial to their success.
If I were you, I'd consider it may be worth waiting a bit longer to make sure these folks are glad to see their housekeepers and childcare workers and chauffeurs and cooks and waiters again and to see their chicken pluckers and assembly line folks too.
@8:26 are you aware that the morbidity of starvation is much higher than Covid-19?
If I were you I'd disregard the nonsense @ 8:51 AM.
