Politicians use statistics and polls to emphasize the parts of the truth that they want us to believe. But, statistics should not be used as simple talking points. “Gun deaths: are not the same as “gun violence.” Seven people died in Mississippi two weeks ago. Several more were hit by gunfire. Even more were missed. If we ignore those who were nearly hit, we have ignored the reality of danger. Tell us how many shell cases were picked up by police? That's the measure of potential death. Potential is measured by how many bullets missed.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is in charge of flood control on the lower Mississippi River (1928 Flood Control Act). Congress gave it that job to prevent another disastrous 1927 flood. The Corps has spent billions on its Mississippi Rivers and Tributaries Project (MRTP). It is supposed to keep the largest future flood (Project Flood) inside the levees and pass it safely to the Gulf. But the Corps’ 2019 flow line study predicts levees will overtop again — in a lesser flood.

Christmas morning would find my sister and me rushing through the hallway into the den hoping that Santa had left a multitude of toys, firecrackers, candies, and nuts. The excitement couldn’t be contained and on most of these mornings, Pop would snap a couple photos capturing the expressions on our faces. To say eyes were wide open, and mouths agape, would be an understatement There were wrapped gifts under the tree that we tore into, leaving the shag carpet completely covered in ribbons and bows.

Happy New Year! 2026 beckons.
Hard to believe it’s that time again. The holiday season is drawing to a close. One more week and then it’s time to tighten the belt and get on with the new year.
At 67, my New Year’s celebrations are getting a little less rowdy and late. When I was young, I wouldn’t even dream about not staying up until midnight to watch the new year roll in. Now it’s a bit less exciting.

Victoria Love, the city of Jackson’s rental registration manager, scrunched her eyebrows together into a deep line, mimicking the confused expression she said Mayor John Horhn made the first time she introduced herself to him in 2024. He was a state senator at the time.
“I’m giving him my card, and he just pauses and looks at me and is like, ‘Rental registration? What is it that you do besides getting the rentals to register?’” Love said.

Walking through a parking lot at Northeast Mississippi Community College on a November afternoon, Nickeda Shelton was eager to get to her job as one of the school’s student counselors.
She loves working at the Booneville campus, enough so that she drives around 60 miles round trip every day from her home in Tupelo. It was an exciting change after roughly two decades of work in a K-12 setting.
