Be careful for nothing: but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be me made known unto God. (Philippeans 4:6)

Let’s look at the beginning of Philippians 4:6 in another version of the bible.  The Amplified Version goes on to say Do not be anxious or worried about anything.  Screeeeeeeech! Hold on God! Timeout! Lord, maybe when this was written you didn’t know that there would be a world wide virus.  Maybe you didn’t know that there would be economic upheaval.  Maybe God didn’t realize that there would be stringent racial conflict, and that peace seems like it lives far, far away. GOD, HOW CAN YOU SAY, DON’T WORRY?

Opinion by James Tweed of Ocean City, NJ

There is common ground for those who voted for, or against, Donald Trump to be President of the United States again.  First, we can all agree that he won the election.  Second, Kamala Harris did not whine and lie to the American people that she really won.  And third, since it was a free democratic election, the American people will get the government they deserve.

Column by Gerardo Serrano, Advocate for Transparency
Jackson County, KY

Another year, another audit riddled with financial mismanagement. The 2022 audit of Jackson County Fiscal Court, released in 2025, paints a now-familiar—and shameful—picture. For anyone paying attention, this report doesn’t shock anymore. But it should outrage every single resident who expects honesty, competence, and accountability.
