Lexington police have a new interim chief after the first appointed leader resigned less than a month into the job.
The city’s Board of Aldermen appointed Kenneth Gee as interim chief Thursday following a special meeting.
Alderman Isaac Lindsey shared news on Facebook last week about Gee’s appointment and the resignation of former interim chief, Robert Kirklin. Some commenters on the post raised concerns about Gee’s hiring and a track record with other police departments and jobs.

5 But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ 6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
— John16:5-7 (ESV)

The Question
An American woman stands with her hand over her heart, singing and weeping with joy, as our national anthem is played to honor her for winning her Olympic race. Her competition was against sports teams from other countries. She is being honored for representing our country. Perhaps in the back of her mind is a realization that some time in the past, one of her ancestors came to this country, settled, worked hard, raised a family, and that she inherited the work ethic that made her victory possible.

The sky must have fallen. I never thought it could happen. But it did. I actually agreed with most of what liberal Robert Wise wrote in the NSS on January 30. He criticized Trump for his statements on taking over Greenland. Trump antagonized the Danes {owners of Greenland) and also NATO with his brash approach. If he had taken a softer approach, he would have gained friends instead of generating bad feelings. They would have been grateful to him and to the USA for setting up a "golden dome" defense for them (and also for us) at the northernmost extremity of their Greenland island.
