Joshua, an 11-year-old boy she
homeschools, had surgery on Aug.
23 and is temporarily in a wheel-
chair, she said. He was “probably
the brightest child” in Sisk’s first-
grade class at Starkville Academy
four years ago. A car accident took
the lives of his father and one of
his siblings and left Joshua with a
traumatic brain injury.
His teacher left the Academy
at the end of the 2015-16 year to
homeschool him, and now she sees
him every day.
“I walked away from the class-
room because I felt like God led me
to help Joshua,” Sisk said.
She devotes her life to helping
people both personally and pro-
fessionally. In addition to tutoring
Joshua and other children with
special needs, she is the caretaker
for her husband, Glen, who had a
stroke 15 years ago; and her elderly
parents who live next door.

Before her three years at
Starkville Academy, Sisk taught in
the Starkville-Oktibbeha Con-

years and previously in a variety of
districts in Georgia, Alabama and
Mississippi. She and Glen relocated
from Grenada to Starkville so she
could care for her parents.

But with prices of
many retail goods now
likely to rise, the Trump
administration’s move
threatens the U.S. econ-
omy’s main driver: con-
sumer spending. As
businesses pull back on
investment spending and
exports slow in the face
of weak global growth,
American shoppers have
been a key bright spot for
the economy.
“We have got a great
economy,” said Sen. Pat
Toomey, R-Pa. “But I do
think that the uncertainty
caused by volatile tariff
situation and this develop-
ing trade war could jeop-
ardize that strength, and
that growth, and that is,
I think, that’s a legitimate
concern,” he told ABC’s
“This Week.”
As a result of Trump’s
higher tariffs, many U.S.
companies have warned
that they will be forced
to pass on to their cus-
tomers the higher prices
they will pay on Chinese
imports. Some business-
es, though, may decide
in the end to absorb the
higher costs rather than
raise prices for their cus-
tomers.
In China, authorities
began charging higher
duties on American im-
ports at midday Sunday,
according to employees
who answered the phone
at customs offices in Bei-
jing and the southern
port of Guangzhou. They
declined to give their
names.
Tariffs of 10 percent
and 5 percent apply to
items ranging from fro-
zen sweet corn and pork

cle tires, the government
announced earlier.

STATE OF THE NATION

Some clarity on President
Trump’s economic policies
It’s a fact that President Donald
Trump has a remarkably large num-
ber of supporters among the voters
and pundits who label themselves
as “free market.” They usually say
something like, “Sure, I don’t like
his trade and immigration policies,
but the rest are good.” I disagree.
With the exception of a few
policies, the Trump presidency —
aided by a largely GOP Congress
— will end up being, by a large
margin, a very pro-government de Rugy
intervention administration.
This is not about assessing the president’s personality,
behavior or impact on the “presidency”: It’s about economic
policy. Further, it’s mostly about legislation the administra-
tion has molded or supported, not its executive orders. As
good as some of Trump’s executive orders have been, as we STATE OF THE WORLD
learned with the end of the Obama era, the next administra-

Who won, and who lost, World War II?

tion can reverse these very easily.
Most of all, this assessment is about whether the admin-
istration’s policies will increase or decrease the size and
scope of government and whether they will hurt or help the
economy. Let’s start with the good.
Some aspects of the 2017 tax reform were great. The cut
in the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and the re-
form of state and local tax deductions are important pro-mar-
ket reforms. The results speak for themselves. High-income
taxpayers in high-tax states can no longer shift their state
tax burden onto the rest of us through a generous deduction.
Capital investments have increased, fueling a growing econ-
omy and rising wages. The administration also deserves
credit for bringing about some reduction in regulations, an
area which Trump has spoken about quite eloquently.
Now, the bad. The administration’s self-destructive pro-
tectionist trade policies are well documented. These result-
ed in higher tariffs on both imports and exports from many
countries, higher prices shouldered by American consum-
ers, nonstop uncertainty, bailouts for affected farmers and
the first manufacturing output contraction since 2009, all
with little tangible progress — in terms of trade deals with
our partners — to show for it.
Then, there are the ruthless immigration policies doubled
with numerous threats of a reduction in legal immigration
and no fundamental reform.
Not all aspects of the tax reform were good policy. The
rhetoric and design of an income tax cut for the middle class
may have been politically valuable, but it makes no sense
economically. Contrary to the administration’s rhetoric, it
was not the middle class that needed a tax cut. The average
income tax rate for the middle-income quintile was 2.6%
in 2013. In 2014, the highest-earning, top 10% shouldered
around 70% of the total income tax burden, up from 49% in
1980.
In the end, the tax reform kicked more taxpayers off the
tax roll, which is not a good way to make them aware of the
need to solve our fiscal problems. Worst of all, because it’s
not offset with spending cuts, it adds to the budget deficit.
As for spending, this administration and the GOP Con-
gress’ record is a complete abdication of fiscal responsibility.
From the first terrible budget deal to a second budget agree-
ment that might qualify as our worst ever, modern Republi-
cans make Democrats look like Calvin Coolidge. Don’t get
too comfortable with your tax cut because with this level of
spending, it may not last long.
Then there’s the president’s constant bullying of Feder-
al Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell to bring back
loose monetary policies and inject the economy with a sugar
rush to temper the consequences of bad trade policies. And
there’s the swamp-filling move to revive the Export-Import
Bank, an antiquated bastion of cronyism that mostly benefits
large domestic companies, state-owned foreign companies
and subsidizes some producers in China, all backed by U.S.
taxpayers.
Some will say that Democrats running for office would
be more interventionist and worse for the economy, and that
Trump gives us an alternative. But those of us who genuinely
want less government in our lives should not pretend that
these policies are acceptable.
Let’s face it: This president is no more interested in fiscal
discipline and free markets than his 21st-century predeces-
sors were.
Veronique de Rugy is a senior research fellow at the Merca-
tus Center at George Mason University.
Sunday, the 80th anni-
versary of the Nazi inva-
sion of Poland, Vice Pres-
ident Mike Pence spoke
in Warsaw’s Pilsudski
Square of “five decades
of untold suffering and
death that followed” the
invasion. Five decades!
What Pence was say-
ing was that, for Poland,
World War II did not end
in victory but defeat and Patrick Buchanan
occupation by an evil
empire ruled by one of
the greatest mass murderers of the 20th century,
Josef Stalin.
The “Liberation of Europe,” the 75th anniver-
sary of which we celebrated at Omaha Beach on
June 6, was a liberation that extended only to the
Elbe River in the heart of Germany.
Beyond the Elbe, the Nazis were annihilated,
but victory belonged to an equally evil ideology,
for the “liberators” of Auschwitz had for decades
run an archipelago of concentration camps as
large as Himmler’s.
So, who really won, and who lost, the war?
Winston Churchill wanted to fight for Czecho-
slovakia at Munich in 1938, and Britain went to
war for Poland in 1939. Yet if both nations ended
up under Bolshevik rule for half a century, did
Britain win their freedom? And if this was the pre-
dictable result of a war in a part of Europe where
Nazis confronted Bolsheviks, why did Britain
even go to war?
Why did Britain declare war for a cause and
country it could not defend? Why did Britain turn
a German-Polish war into a world war that would
surely bankrupt her and bring down her empire,
while she could not achieve her declared war goal
-- a liberated and independent Poland?
What vital British interest was imperiled by
Hitler’s retrieval of a port city, Danzig, that had
been severed from Germany against the will of its
300,000 people and handed to Poland at Versailles
in 1919?
Danzigers never wanted to leave Germany, and
90% wanted to return. Even the British Cabinet
thought Germany had a case and Danzig should
be returned.
Why then did Britain declare war?
Because Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain
had insanely given the Poles a blank check, a war
guarantee on March 31, 1939: If Germany uses
force to retrieve Danzig, and you resist, we will
fight at your side.
Britain’s war guarantee guaranteed the war.
Given the cause for which their country went
to war, British actions during the war seem inex-
plicable.
When Stalin’s army invaded Poland, Sept.
17, 1939, two weeks after Hitler, Britain did not
declare war on the Soviet Union.
The Polish officer corps were executed on
Moscow’s orders in 1940. When the bodies were
unearthed in Katyn in 1943, Churchill, now an
ally of Stalin, responded to the Free Poles’ request
to investigate the atrocity: “There is no use prowl-
ing round the three year old graves of Smolensk.”
Rather than attack Hitler after he invaded
Poland, Britain and France remained behind the
Maginot Line and waited until Hitler’s armies
stormed west on May 10, 1940, the day Churchill
took power.
In three weeks, the British army had been de-
feated and thrown off the continent. In six weeks,
France had surrendered.
After Dunkirk and the Battle of Britain in
1940, Britain refused all of Hitler’s offers to end
the war, holding on till June 1941, when Hitler
turned on his partner Stalin and invaded the
Soviet Union.
Churchill is the “man of the century” for
persuading Britain to stand alone against Nazi
Germany in 1940, Britain’s “finest hour.”
But at war’s end, what was the balance sheet of
Churchill?
The Poland for which Britain had gone to war
was lost to Stalinism and would remain so for the
entire Cold War. Churchill would be forced to
accede to Stalin’s annexation of half of Poland and
its incorporation into the Soviet Bloc. To appease
Stalin, Churchill declared war on Finland.
Britain would end the war bombed, bled and
bankrupt, with her empire in Asia, India, the
Mideast and Africa disintegrating. In two decades
it would all be gone.
France would end the war after living under
Nazi occupation and Vichy rule for five years, lose
her African and Asian empire and then sustain
defeats and humiliation in Indochina in 1954 and
Algeria in 1962.
Who really won the war?
Certainly, the Soviets who, after losses in the
millions from the Nazi invasion, ended up occu-
pying Berlin, having annexed the Baltic states
and turned Eastern Europe into a Soviet base
camp, though Stalin is said to have remarked of a
19th-century czar, “Yes, but Alexander I made it
to Paris!”
The Americans, who stayed out longest, ended
the war with the least losses of any great power.
Yet, America is a part of the West, and the West
was the loser of the world wars of the last century.
Indeed, the two wars between 1914 and 1945
may be seen as the Great Civil War of the West,
the Thirty Years War of Western Civilization that
culminated in the loss of all the Western empires
and the ultimate conquest of the West by the liber-
ated peoples of their former colonies.

Sisk tutors have dyslex-
ia. She was teaching in
Charleston, Mississippi
in the 1990s when she
was required to receive
training to teach children
with dyslexia, she said.
Hands-on approaches
work well for them, and
she was taught to make
words kinesthetic, such
as focusing on the mouth
movement of each sound,
she said. She applied the
training to all her stu-
dents, not just the ones
with dyslexia, and they
loved it.
Sisk developed a repu-
tation as the teacher who
was experienced with
special-needs kids.
“Usually if (the school)
had a child with special
needs, they ended up in
my classroom because
they knew I’d love on
them,” she said. “The
principals all knew that’s
where my heart lay.”
Children with special
needs were not included
in mainstream classroom
settings when Sisk first
began teaching, and the
education system has
come a long way since,
she said.
She started a program
for students with dyslexia
in Grenada, where she
also taught second grade,
and she had to take a
semester off when Glen
had the stroke.
“My colleagues made

said.
“That is not to my
credit. That is to God’s
credit, because only God

said. “I’m just the facilita-

On Friday, Aug. 30, 2019, the jumble puzzle

Analysis
was cut-off. The full puzzle is below.

Continued from Page 1A

Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, who
won the Republican nom-
ination in an Aug. 27 run-
off.
Reeves has spent about
$6 million from January
through late August, ac-
cording to campaign fi-
nance reports he filed be-
fore the runoff.
Because Hood didn’t
have a runoff, his latest
campaign finance report-
ing deadline was in late
July. At that point, his
year-to-date spending was
about $1.1 million.
Both Reeves and Hood
have already run feel-good
ads about home lives, and
the Republican Governors
Association launched an
anti-Hood ad as soon as he
secured the Democratic
nomination.
Mississippi has eight
statewide offices, and five
of them are guaranteed
to switch hands after this
election cycle. The gover-
norship is open because of
term limits. With Reeves
and Hood in the gover-
nor’s race, the offices of
lieutenant governor and
attorney general will have
new occupants.
Three-term Secretary
of State Delbert Hose-
mann is the Republican
nominee for lieutenant
governor after easily de-
feating a little known can-
didate in the Aug. 6 prima-
ry. In November, he faces
first-term state Rep. Jay
Hughes, who was unop-
posed for the Democratic
nomination for lieutenant
governor.
Two-term state Trea-
surer Lynn Fitch is the
Republican nominee for
attorney general, having
won a party primary run-
off Aug. 27. In November,
she will face Democrat
Jennifer Riley Collins,
who, like Hughes, was
unopposed for the nom-
ination. Collins is a mili-
tary veteran and former
director of the American
Civil Liberties Union of
Mississippi. Either Collins
or Fitch will be the first
woman elected attorney
general in Mississippi.
The treasurer’s race is
between Republican Da-
vid McRae, an investor
who unsuccessfully chal-
lenged Fitch in the 2015
GOP primary, and Demo-
crat Addie Lee Green, who
has run unsuccessfully for
other offices, including
agriculture commissioner.
The secretary of state’s
race is between Republi-
can Sen. Michael Watson,
who’s a three-term state
senator, and Democrat
Johnny DuPree, a former
Hattiesburg mayor who
lost to Bryant in the 2011
governor’s race.
The down-ticket races
might attract some adver-
tising dollars, but most of
the money will be spent
to build up or knock down
Reeves and Hood in the
governor’s race.

this year’s Caledonia volleyball team
was something special when it was on
the brink.
On Aug. 22, Brooks, a senior captain
for the Confederates, watched her team
drop two tight sets at home to Starkville.
Just 10 days prior, Starkville hosted
Caledonia and won a five-set thriller by
virtue of taking a 26-24 heartbreaker of
a fourth set.
Brooks and her teammates weren’t
prepared to accept a second loss to
Starkville in as many weeks. The Con-
federates’ roster features seven seniors
with plenty of experience playing to-
gether, and the whole team has plenty of
positional versatility.
“If somebody’s having a bad game,
you can take them out and put somebody
else in that has been playing somewhere
else,” Brooks said.
That’s exactly what coach Samantha
Brooks — Tori’s mother — did. It worked
immediately. The third set went to Cale-
donia, 25-18. Same with the fourth set,
25-22. Then the fifth at 15-12.
“We all worked together,” Tori Brooks
said. “We jelled really good.”
That chemistry and success might
be what you’d expect from a team with
players who’ve shared a court since fifth
grade — but maybe not from a 4A school
like Caledonia.
Caledonia has had a number of 5A
and 6A programs on the schedule al-
ready, and there’s more where that came
from. But captains Tori Brooks and Ans-
ley Brown don’t seem to mind.
“It’s competitive, and if you win, it’s a
big thing,” Brooks said.
The Confederates certainly had a
“big thing” just two days before their
dramatic comeback against Starkville.
They took a two-set lead in a home
match against Tupelo, watched the Gold-
en Wave recoup and then won the fifth
set to seal a critical win.
For Brown, playing big schools like
Starkville and Tupelo is simply fun. “Es-
pecially if you go into it like, ‘Oh, this
might be a hard game, but it will be a
good game,’” Brown said.
The Confederates haven’t just sur-
vived those good, tough games —
they’ve thrived.
They beat Class 5A Lafayette in the
Pontotoc Classic in Oxford in mid-Au-
gust, and they beat the Commodores
again in a true road match at Lafayette
— all without dropping a single set. Four
of Caledonia’s six wins entering today
are against schools in a higher class.
“We’re little Caledonia out here, but
we’ve got a really good volleyball team,”
coach Brooks said. “A really good pro-
gram.”
And the Confederates’ success is
nothing new, either. Caledonia swept its
Class II, Region 4 matches last year, win-
ning all eight before losing to Lewisburg
in the first round of the district playoffs.
The team’s seven seniors have more
than just playoff experience. They have
the chemistry from years of school
teams and club matches — Tori Brooks,

Kicking competition
While the quarterback compe-
tition has been decidedly settled
for just under two weeks, the place
kicking battle between junior in-
cumbent Jace Christmann and
classmate Jordan Lawless has per-
sisted.
Christmann was not made avail-
able during last week’s season
opener likely stemming from his
offseason DUI arrest.
Thus, Lawless took on the
place-kicking duties against Lou-
isiana, albeit to shaky success.
He finished the afternoon 1-for-2
on field goals — making one from
37 yards out and missing another
from 27 yards — and 5-for-5 on ex-
tra points.
Moorhead confirmed Monday

ly, if ever, used those sets. Instead,
the Ragin’ Cajuns relied heavily on
one-high safeties and cover three.
Normally, the Bulldogs would
have run the ball on first down
just outside the 10, but Moorhead
recognized the one-high, man cov-
erage and immediately called a
check from the sideline.
“We knew they were going to be
in zero,” Stevens said. “It was the
original play call that we thought
of because that was kind of what
we were getting earlier in the red
zone — they were really blitzing
us up down there.”
As the ball was snapped, Guidry
ran a seven-yard curl, while Payton
took off on a short crossing route.
Williams had an option out of
the slot. Based on the leverage of
the defender, he could run either a
post or corner — he did the latter.

Recognizing the same ze-

Notre Dame trailed 14-7 in the

Book’s TD came after a bi-
zarre sequence featuring three
consecutive fumbles between
the teams, the last of which No-
tre Dame recovered at Louis-

fumbles overall and recovered
three.
“We just had to focus on some
smaller details,” said Book, who
rushed for 81 yards on 14 car-

to execute what was called. We
trust the coaches to put in the
right decision and we just had to

jective this season “ring chasing,”
and the senior-heavy team talks
about it a lot.
So even with plenty of tough op-

optimism runs rampant for Caledo-

“I hope we’re going to go far,”
Brooks said.
“I think we will,” Brown added.

ATL ANTA — With Bobby Cox in
the house, the Atlanta Braves found
instant extra motivation.
Josh Donaldson and Johan Camar-

without a win as the Braves beat the
Toronto Blue Jays 6 -3 on Monday.

Cox, 78, smiled and waved in re-

he was shown on the video board un-

“He looks great to me,” Snitker
said. “I saw him walking around. ...
It was true, too, when they welcomed
him home. It’s like home to him and
he feels like he belongs, and he does.”
Soroka was on the mound to start
the second inning when he saw Cox’s
wave.
“That was awesome,” Soroka said.
“I looked up there and I had to take a
moment. He’s had some battles of his
own. He’s the Brave of all Braves. We
love to see him up there.”

The first-inning homer by Donald-

Waguespack loaded the bases with
three walks in the third before third

Gun groups see
opportunity in NRA turmoil
‘The more gun owners I contacted,

does not speak for us’
Minnesota Gun Owners for Safety
BY LISA MARIE PANE
The Associated Press
Bob Mokos is a passion-
ate gun owner who on the
surface would seem like a
card-carrying National Ri-
fle Association member.
The retired airline pilot
has been shooting guns
since he was a child. The
Vietnam veteran got more
serious about firearms as a
civilian after one of his sis-
ters was fatally shot during
a mugging in Chicago. Af-
ter the 9/11 terror attacks,
he became qualified to car-
ry a gun in the cockpit.
But Mokos has grown
so disillusioned with the
NRA over the years that
he has joined forces with
a rival organization — the
gun control group founded
by former Rep. Gabrielle
Giffords.
“The more gun owners
I contacted, the more I
found out that everybody
is thinking the same thing:
The NRA does not speak
for us,” said Mokos, who
was a founder of the Min-
nesota Gun Owners for
Safety.
As the 2020 presiden-
tial campaign draws clos-
er, gun control groups
are seizing on the turmoil
engulfing the NRA — as
well as recent high profile
shootings in Gilroy, Cal-
ifornia; El Paso, Texas;

there can be bipartisan
solutions to gun violence
that don’t infringe on
their Second Amendment
rights.
Giffords’ group formed
coalitions this year with
gun owners in Colorado,
Minnesota and Texas in
outreach that managing
director Robin Lloyd said
was done expressly to
show that not all gun own-
ers believe in the NRA.
“The fallacy that the
NRA has perpetuated for
so long is that you’re either
for the Second Amend-
ment or you’re for taking
away people’s guns,” Lloyd
told the AP.
At the same time, vari-
ous pro-gun organizations
at the state level have been
more active in staking their
claim as the true defenders
of the Second Amendment.
Many of those advocates
