Opinion: What marriage has taught me

Almost one year ago at Wyatte Baptist Church, I made a commitment that was much bigger than myself, but I didn’t do it alone. I had the privilege of marrying the most beautiful, kind, gentle, thoughtful and Christ-like woman I have ever met — my best friend, Natalie Hall, now Natalie (Nat) Meredith. The almost […]

Column: Ole Miss students are giving up on the student section

This is a year that has made no sense at all. The Rebs are 5-3 while looking like a 1-7 team. There’s one reason and one reason only that Ole Miss is one win away from getting to that six win threshold a bowl-eligible team strives to reach. It’s that the players have earned it. […]

Opinion: It’s time to look ahead after Ed Meek

The Sept. 17 Facebook post by Ed Meek involving two African-American women on the Square and references to the degradation of Oxford and Ole Miss has led to the ultimate demise of his reputation.

Opinion: Response: “Protection against tyranny of the majority”

Re: “A government of the 16 percent” (Oct. 5) Jacob Gambrell wrote a piece arguing that the U.S. Senate is undemocratic and advocating for the reform of the Constitution itself to make it more democratic. While his argument is thoughtful and rational, I’d like to respond in disagreement. To begin, it is correct that the […]

For review, the first travel ban was signed on January 27, 2017, to include seven Muslim-majority nations (Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen). On […]

Opinion: Anti-discrimination laws hide true colors

On February 1, 1960, four African-American college students from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College decided to have lunch and coffee at Woolworth’s in Greensboro, North Carolina. The brave young men knew what they were getting into. They understood that the white patrons around the restaurant were glaring at them from the surrounding tables. After […]

Opinion: Avoid emotions in Syrian intervention

Last April, the town of Khan Shaykhun, Syria was forced to inhale sarin nerve gas. At least 74 people were killed and more than 557 were injured. In response, President Donald Trump unleashed 59 Tomahawk missiles on the Shayrat Airbase. On March 7, the town of Douma, a Syrian city east of the capital of […]

Opinion: John Oliver’s satirical book targets the wrong people

Marlon Bundo, Vice President Mike Pence’s family’s bunny, is sweeping the nation and upsetting the left. Charlotte Pence, Pence’s daughter, wrote a book titled “Marlon Bundo’s A Day in the Life of the Vice President.” The children’s book, illustrated by Charlotte’s mother, Karen, details a fictional day in the life of Marlon Bundo, pet rabbit […]

Opinion: ‘We have seen torture work’
