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.

Perhaps I heard the phrase “can’t see the forest for the trees” prior to “Different Drum” (1967) by the Stone Poneys (which song launched Linda Ronstadt to superstardom) —
“But honey child I’ve got my doubts
You can’t see the forest for the trees”

Clogged arteries cause heart attacks. Clogged rivers cause floods.
If plaque clogs your widowmaker artery and you don’t get a stent, you may have a serious heart attack. The Mississippi River is the country’s main transportation artery. It’s vital to our economy and national security. It is clogged with plaque. It needs a stent.

Before near-record crop yields were harvested by U.S. farmers, the seed, plants and soil had received major scientific attention in laboratories located on an obscure country road in rural Washington County, Mississippi.
In the hamlet of Stoneville, one mile west of the town of Leland, research by federal and state agricultural scientists has provided the spark for successful farming and a leading-edge mechanization of harvest across the U.S. farm belt, and in nations that are major competition for our farm commodities on the world market.

It didn’t take long for the bickering to start after the Senate Education Committee on Feb. 3 unanimously killed House Bill 2, the wide-ranging school choice proposal, with only two minutes of consideration.
Gov. Tate Reeves said he’s never been more disappointed in elected officials than he was in Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann and Sen. Dennis DeBar, R-Leakesville, the chairman of the Education Committee. The governor claimed the two worked closely with Democrats to kill the school choice bill, and accused them of hiding their efforts from conservatives.

One of the strange things about mass media is that you deal in masses of people. Every week we have multiple obituaries in our newspapers. Each of the deceased leaves behind a wake in the water of humanity, touching other lives in innumerable and profound ways.
Our God creates so many people and yet each person is unique and precious. It is mind boggling, but that’s simply the way it is. Our job at the newspaper is to chronicle their passing. We cannot begin to fully express the magnitude of their journey.

Asked to describe Jim Poole, his close friend of six decades, Archie Manning paused, pregnantly.
“I’m really struggling with Jim’s death,” he finally said.
After a few seconds of silence, Archie was back. “Jim was a rock,” he said. “He was solid – so smart and just utterly dependable. You always knew what you were going to get with Jim. You could always count on him. Nicest guy ever, as good a friend as I’ve ever had, as good a friend as anyone could ever hope to have.”
