Robert Wise has written another lengthy article criticizing Trump. {NSS 2/20} He blames the administration for allowing a nameless staffer for making a despicable post in the wee hours of the morning. Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary gave good advice: "Please stop the fake outrage.": Anyone with an open mind would know that Trump is not a racist as evidenced by his recent celebration of Black History Month in the White House.

THE BLESSINGS OF LIVING IN GOD’S PURPOSE
In recent articles we have discussed some of the purposes of God. If you need a reminder read Ephesians 1:1-14 and II Timothy 1:1-14. And in this article we are going to focus on the first chapter of Colossians. As I read this chapter I see four great blessings.

The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal featured Mississippi education recently.
In a surprising story entitled “These Three Red States Are the Best Hope in Schooling,” the Times writer told skeptics “I told you so.”
After writing about Mississippi’s educational successes in 2023, “many of my fellow liberals then scoffed at the notion of learning from a state so tainted,” wrote Pulitzer Prize winner Nicolas Kristof. “The critiques have been effectively rebutted by Mississippi’s “continuing gains” and the “magnitude of the gains.”

No, this column is not a sales pitch.
And a disclaimer: since 1992, I have made the vast majority of my living selling print advertising.
But, is print advertising still relevant? In this razzle dazzle day and age of "targeted marketing" through social media, AI and countless digital and cable offerings that promise immediate results and statistics, why would a business or individual still spend money on an old-fashioned print ad?

Why is the water bill for small customers in Jackson four to 12 times more than the average bill for small customers in Flowood, Ridgeland, and Madison?
It’s primarily because JXN Water is run by an interim manager appointed and supervised by a federal judge. The interim manager runs JXN Water as an officer of the court — not as a local official accountable to voters. The judge seems to be accountable to no one. JXN Water “governance” looks more like a commissariat than a municipal utility board. So I call the interim manager the Water Czar.

Jackson has a new police chief, Dr. RaShall Brackney. The Jackson city council approved Mayor John Horhn’s selection with one dissenting vote, the Northside’s city council member Ashby Foote.
I can understand Foote’s vote. Brackney is a criminologist scholar, professor and book writer. She’s an intellectual. Jackson needs a drill sergeant police chief who can face down the gang leaders and tell them they have 24 hours to leave town.
