Regardless of one’s partisan affiliation, Republicans and Democrats alike have to acknowledge that American voters handed former President Donald Trump a decisive victory – winning both the popular and electoral vote, winning every crucial battleground state, his party taking control of the Senate and holding control of the House – and with those wins a mandate for substantive public policy change.
Substantive public policy change is an exercise that produces winners and losers. Explaining that requires a look at the fact that there are so-called “donor” states and so-called “subsidized” states – meaning that some “donor” states pay far more in federal taxes than they receive in federal spending. In contrast “subsidized” states receive more government funds than they pay in federal taxes. Mississippi is, by definition, a “subsidized” state; therefore, it makes sense that reductions in current federal support to the states will impact state and local programs through program reductions, higher state and local taxes to support the current program, or a combination of both. During the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump said in an August 13 interview with Elon Musk on X (the social media platform formerly known as Twitter): “I want to close up the Department of Education, move education back to the states.” In retrospect, that statement roughly mirrors what the current president-elect said eight years ago as a candidate leading up to his first term in the White House. During that first term as president – even with a Republican Congress – Trump did not press that issue. Frankly, Congress had insufficient support to close the federal agency during that first Trump term. For the president-elect to make good on that pledge to shutter the Department of Education, the full-throated support of both houses of Congress will be necessary. The DoEd was created as a cabinet-level agency by an act of Congress in 1979 during the administration of former President Jimmy Carter. The agency began operating in 1980 during the final year of the Carter administration, but incoming Republican President Ronald Reagan pledged as a candidate to dismantle the agency. A Democratic House of Representatives intervened. By the end of Reagan’s two terms, he changed his tactics and in 1989 advocated raising the agency’s budget to over $20 billion. But for Trump, getting Congress to dismantle DoEd may not be as far-fetched a proposition in 2024 as it was during his first term. Republican U.S. Sen. Mike Rounds of South Dakota has already rolled out what he’s calling the “Return Education to the States Act” that expressly abolishes the agency. Despite the Rounds legislation, abolishing a cabinet-level agency would require a 60-vote super-majority of the Senate to be successful. With that effort as a pretext, Trump’s decision to nominate former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) co-founder Linda McMahon as his Secretary of Education presents some interesting potential impacts both for the state’s approximately 490,000 elementary and secondary school students (public and private) and the state’s taxpayers. The latest numbers available from the National Center for Education Statistics digest for the school year 2020-21 show that U.S. elementary and secondary education revenues from that school year totaled $837.3 billion from federal, state, local and private sources. Federal revenues were $88.4 billion or 10.6%, state revenues were $383.8 billion or 45.8%, and local revenues were $365.1 billion or 43.6% (with $301.5 billion of that segment coming from property taxes). Private sources accounted for $5.4 billion or 0.6 percent of the nation’s education tab. That same year, Mississippi had total elementary and secondary education revenues of $5.37 billion with $1.03 billion of 19.3% coming from federal revenues, $2.49 billion or 46.4% from state revenues, and $1.84 billion or 34.4% from local revenues. The federal government pays 8.7 percent more in Mississippi than the national average for K-12 education expenditures, which is $467.81 million. Despite her past WWE affiliation, sources like The Washington Post praised McMahon’s tenure as head of the Small Business Administration during Trump’s first term. So, her nomination is not where the nation’s focus should be. The focus, particularly in states like Mississippi, should be on the future of K-12 education finance and how eliminating DoEd impacts the delivery of those services in our state.

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.

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.

Sid also backs DEI at MSU
Will Sidney take his loss with a child's portion of crow, per above, or plunge head first into a 5 gallon bucket of rancid buzzard guts to experience the whole baptismal epiphany of humiliation and utter defeat of his lifelong Leftist agenda, in all its putrid viscera?
I'd rather eliminate the D of E and forego the money. Our country did just fine before the boondoggle/activitist /woke D of E was formed in 1979.
While initially painful, getting off government welfare will make us self-sufficient and stronger on our own in the long term.
Multiple studies have established that DEI promotes hostility in our country.
How can anyone support that?
Without the DOE, Mississippi students will be taught that the earth is 6000 years old.
Big difference last time Sid. In 2017 had leftist Democrats said, hey, he won, let’s work with him, Trump likely would have become just another DC insider elitist. But, on Trump’s inauguration date, Jan 20, 2017, the Jeff Bezos (Washington) Post headline (link below) read “The campaign to impeach President Trump has begun.” Then, for 8-years we watched “want to rule the world leftist Democrats” weaponize the government against a duly elected president, and others that dare disagree with them.
“Mississippi is, by definition, a “subsidized” state” because leftist Democrats wanted the “subsidized” “voting Democrat for the next hundred years (LBJ).” Since Democrats, especially leftist professors know everything and have it down pat, they should encourage the subsidized to move to the Democrat controlled blue states. But you’re not going to do that are you, Sid (won’t work will it?)?
With the last 8-years of totalitarian like leftist Democrat government weaponization very clearly in the rear view mirror, Republicans need to grow a set by cutting, and cutting fast. Musk swiftly took Twitter/X from around 8,000 employees to approximately 1,500, i.e. 18.75%. An 81.25% cut of non-military federal government employees will be a darned good start. The American people dealing with government manufactured inflation, most of which benefited the richest 1%, are sick of watching government bureaucrats screw off for 25 years then retire in their 50’s with fat cat government “subsidized” pensions while the those doing the subsidizing deal with real world financial struggles.

I wanted to abolish the Department of Education until I read Sid Salter’s piece. - No One Ever
Federal bureaucrats have moats, castle walls and razor wire to protect their jobs from budget cutters but now have to reckon with the combined genius of Musk and Ramiswamy who will chainsaw wastrel bureaucracy with gusto as fast as Trump and Congress will permit, and they are slashing and burning for joy, not getting otherwise compensated.
@9:18 AM Elon Musk is the type of high-functioning autist who gets off on figuring out solutions to problems people tell him are impossible. NASA could dream but never believed anyone could do what SpaceX is doing. That is because Musk refuses to accept excuses.
I am glad they lost all of the plans and engineering know-how to rebuild the Saturn V. Startship is vastly superior in every conceivable way.
Taxpayer money can still be returned to the states for education without a federal Department of Education.
DOE was Jimmah Cahtah's solution to a problem that didn't exist.
Krusatyr : The Dept of Education was established in1867. More than a few historians and economists believe public education is what gave us an advantage internationally and it makes us still the richest nation in the world. Indeed, it allows our best and brightest to be identified and encouraged to excel. Without public education, JD Vance would be in the coal mines. He wouldn't have even gotten a job in his town store if he couldn't read and write and do math. And, alas, just as always in history , when the rule of law is controlled by one political entity, there will be no justice or freedoms that aren't granted as "favors". Russia has not been as successful as an oligarchy. Russia GDP declined by 2.1% And, Russia's GDP is about $2 trillion while ours is $25 trillion. But, it looks like we will all get to experience letting media inform us when the new tariffs and trade wars kick inflation and unemployment rises and education declines. The irony will be that MAGA voters will experience the greatest hardships. MAGA politicians will be the greatest beneficiaries but there are very few in MS that will be other than, as usual, taken for granted. Too bad we couldn't believe those who spent their lives studying issues, but rather to the latest " celebrity". And, also believed a woman's greatest value is her "beauty and boobs"...even when both are " store bought".
Taxpayer money can still be returned to the states for education without a federal Department of Education.
DOE was Jimmah Cahtah's solution to a problem that didn't exist.
This time DRAIN THE SWAMP!
9:56 am cynically presumes states cannot run their own public education without Federal Bureaucrats bribing and extorting them with resources snatched from taxpayers to slavishly adopt propaganda programs, like DEI, Leftist History revision and forcing students to learn at home because of a Federally invented virus.
