Our View: Blood donation is especially important in summer
It happens every summer.
Patrick Buchanan: Trump and Putin vs. America
Leonard Pitts: Spare me your shock at Trump's sellout to Putin
After almost two years of unending chaos, the only shocking thing about Donald Trump's disastrous Helsinki press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin is that some people were apparently shocked.
Our View: County's approach to tax office fee hike is petty
It is no secret that bad blood exists between the governing bodies of Lowndes County and the city of Columbus.
Charlie Mitchell: Hardball Haley ready to deal on immigration
When governor, Haley Barbour dominated the Legislature. He defied observers (me) who pointed out that when members of the 1890 House and Senate wrote the state 1890 Constitution, they assured themselves the power to slap silly any governor silly who tried to thwart their wishes.
Possumhaw: A bushel of tomatoes and a peck of peas
"Every gardener I know is a junkie for the experience of being out there in the mud and fresh green growth. Why? An astute therapist might diagnose us as codependent and sign us up for Tomato-Anon meetings. We love our gardens so much it hurts."
Voice of the people: Cameron Triplett
Wyatt Emmerich: Mississippi isn't a state, it's a club
Mississippi is the fourth most rural state in America. Only Maine, West Virginia and Vermont are more so.

Patrick Buchanan: Is a Trump court in the making?
If Mitch McConnell's Senate can confirm his new nominee for the Supreme Court, President Donald Trump may have completed the capture of all three branches of the U.S. government for the Republican Party.
Leonard Pitts: Under unchecked power, no one is safe
They did not have to die. That's the bitter truth. Katie Sasser and her friend John Hall would likely still be alive if cops and prosecutors in Glynn County, Georgia, had done their jobs.
Ask Rufus: A potpourri of history
I have been writing this history column for eight years now and even though there are topics I have covered in several columns, I still have people ask me, "why don't you write about that topic or tell that story?"
Partial to Home: Avalon, my hometown
Sometime in the mid-1970s, I got in my car and drove to Avalon, Mississippi. While I was by no means a blues aficionado, I loved Mississippi John Hurt's music, and Avalon was his hometown.
Home Base: Pecan Acres relocation is bad deal for residents
Loren "Bo" Bell stood before an audience of about 60 concerned citizens Thursday night at the Greensboro Center in Starkville and tried to paint a pretty picture.
