Speaker Creates Redistricting Committee

 Mississippi Speaker of the House Jason White issued the following statement. 

Jackson, Mississippi – Speaker Jason White states, “In accordance with state statute, I am naming the following State Representatives as House appointees to the Mississippi Standing Joint Legislative Committee on Reapportionment and Redistricting:

Noah Sanford, Chairman, House Committee on Reapportionment and Elections

Mark Tullos, Vice Chairman, House Committee on Reapportionment and Elections

Congressional District 1: Donnie Bell, Rodney Hall

Congressional District 2: Kevin Horan, Tracy Rosebud

Congressional District 3: Scott Bounds, Carl Mickens

Congressional District 4: Jay McKnight, Missy McGee

These House members represent a diverse set of skills and backgrounds. The Joint Committee will explore the best path forward to establish principles for redistricting based on the recent Callais Supreme Court decision. I’m confident these members will review all relevant information, listen to the constituencies across our state, and come forward with a plan that reflects the requirements of the post-Callais landscape.”

Whatever it takes to get rid of Bennie the Bigot.

Well, if that's the only reason - let's drop it. Bennie ain't running again in 2028, redistricting or not.

What it might give us though is two democrats; granted, neither one as powerful (or rich) as Bennie, but over time they could get there.

Republicans must have a milk bone up their ass to get rid of Bennie. None of the other congressional reps are worth a fuck either. Trump lapdogs!

No way Jose they redistrict and create the risk of two Donkeys winning. No way.

No 3:26 we just care. We care about the way we act toward others; we care about keeping our surroundings clean, and our communities safe, and we care about getting a fair shake in an open free market where we can work, provide for our families, and live without the burdens of over-regulation and taxation. Look at his voting record in Congress and you'll see what he has been for, and against. What is it exactly that checks the box for you when it comes to Bennie Thompson?

Nice language. Congratulations!

Why would Republicans want two purple districts instead of just one blue? Mississippi will do exactly what Louisiana did keep one all blue to get 3 red.

Poor loser.

3:26 Such a classy comment. I’m sure your mother is proud of you.

"Confident they will listen to constituencies..."

DAMN! That represents the biggest change in legislative expectations over the past fifty years!

You can bet you won't hear that from Delbert. Delbert's remark will be, "I am confident these fine appointees will represent my wishes, demands and expectations to the letter..."

Whose lapdog is Bennie?

Not in time to save Trump from Bennie round 2. I can’t wait for January ‘27!

Agreed....and I'm a Conservative.

Haha! What a joke. The goal is to rid the state of Bennie. He is horrible and the good ole boys will put all their efforts together to get rid of him. You know what is worst that a white man ruler? A black man ruler. Because he learned from the white man and put his culture in it. No way but down when you have that mentality.

4:15 yeh yall really care about the way you treat others by electing that asshole Trump! I’m sure your church goes to missions in other countries when there is poverty and people that need help right here in Jackson but you run to the suburbs and bitch about Jackson! What have these other Republican reps have done to help their constituents. They haven’t passed any legislation. They can’t get a bill through congress. Bennie has passed more legislation than any of those Republicans.

At 4:15: Ok, buddy, list all the bills King Thompson has passed and what they’ve accomplished.

Bennie has the poorest district in the state, so he has accomplished that. Good job Bennie!

Clutching pearls as Speaker White appoints a Democrat to a committee!!! Look, see everyone does it. Not just Phil, Tate and Delbert.

@ 2:57 - That's funny. Bennie will leave that office the day you see his pine box on display in the Capitol Rotunda.

Our legislative morons are scared shitless of Bennie in office. They're also scared shitless of forcing him OUT of office.

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.
