We live in a world today that abounds or is full of hate. This should never be. We as a country have been blessed beyond measure. It is only within ourselves can we change the world one person at a time. God’s people have turned away from Him. God is love, that is who He is. In 2 John 4:20-2…
State Sen. Del Marsh has scheduled two public meetings at the end of this month to discuss a proposed deannexation of Ward 4 from the rest of the city of Anniston.
My reply to James Wakefield:
Plywood still covers our Confederate Veterans’ Monument in Birmingham, as it has since August 2017.
As an unlikely Democrat from deep-red Walker County, I found myself overwhelmed by options early on, when we had no less than 29 presidential candidates. That changed when I discovered Pete Buttigieg.
Mr. J.K. Corson: Noted how you pretend to want the President to have a fair trial (impeachment) as you decry the impact wealth has on public perception. Where was your fuss when the Dems did their thing in the House? Where was your fuss when the press posted lies and half-truths about Trump …
It’s the 100th anniversary of the start of Prohibition, and the Prohibition-themed difference between Anniston and every other Calhoun County city is this: Anniston is wedded to booze.
I am angry! I am sick and tired of the vitriolic lies spewed daily by Republican senators and congressmen, evangelists, Fox News, conspiracy-theorists, and the POTUS and all his men. Pardon me if I’ve left anyone out.
I write to applaud the archaeologists who have recently extracted a Stone Age teenage girl’s complete genome from a piece of birch tar she had chewed and discarded nearly 6,000 years ago. It is impressive that they can figure out what she looked like, what she ate, and what bacteria and viru…
I find it sad as a citizen of this state. I find it sad that every politician we have voted in office and keep in office has not done anything for the state. We rank anywhere between 50th and 47th, depending on which poll you look at, in health care, education, mental health — pretty much ev…
Anthony Cook’s guidelines on praying for President Donald Trump align with Scripture.
It’s an east Alabama success story, a still-evolving tale of what can happen, not what’s impossible, in small cities with limited budgets and political hindrances.
Sunday’s Jan. 5, 2020, ANNISTON STAR has letters from my two favorite contributors, Billy Price and David Duncan. These gentlemen seem to have a distorted understanding of our economic system. The United States is a capitalistic form of government. Communism and socialism are both defined as…
Our current president has been legally impeached by his own peers. His moral character or lack thereof has brought him to this place of global embarrassment. Unfortunately, Donald J. Trump’s moral values do not exist in the same universe with those of our Founding Fathers, and one in particu…
While Iran and the U.S. are both “standing down” from their missile strikes for the moment, how long will this last? Until their next threat or terrorist act? Until they have completely annexed Iraq? Until their next attack on us or our allies?
On Oct. 10 and 11 of 2019, Janney Furnace Park hosted over 800 fourth-grade students from seven elementary schools in Calhoun County, along with Jacksonville Christian Academy. Students, teachers and parents learned about Alabama history and saw what life was like in the 1860s. We were hono…
This past week, The Anniston Star reported on three serious car crashes that occurred following two days of steady rain across east Alabama.
Council unrest is Anniston’s norovirus, a constant affliction. It spreads and sickens. Small-town politics are notoriously mean, but they’re different here, and they have been for a generation, at least.
This is my reply to Anthony Cook’s editorial, "How to pray for President Trump." I do not always agree with the president’s choice of words, however, after having served with several people in the military from New York City, I understand their brazen attitude and bluntness, the tough guy im…
Re: December 20, Anthony Cook’s editorial on Christianity Today
My wife and I had the opportunity to meet Tony Evans in summer 2018. We had taken our daughter on her senior trip to New York, and we happened to be staying in the same hotel.
2020’s arrival also ushered in this argument: Never before has our slice of east Alabama experienced two decades as equally tumultuous and expansive as the last 20 years.
Having just read Amos Kirkpatrick’s post of how the Dems election of 2018 to controlling the House saved the US, I wonder how the corruption of the US justice system by the Dems in the FISA Court did it?
A lawsuit filed earlier this month claims that an Oxford High School student became the victim of bullying after a locker room incident back in October 2018.
