Severe storms sweep through South; 5 killed BY EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS AND JAY REEVES Associated Press

JACKSON — A Mississippi woman who desperately tried to direct rescuers to her sinking vehicle after it skidded into a rain-swollen creek was among five people killed in storms across the South. Jacqueline Williams, 52, was running a newspaper delivery route when her car slid oﬀ a road into a creek in her hometown of Florence before dawn Monday, authorities said. She dialed 911 from the car as it went down, said Rankin County

Coroner David Ruth. Ruth said Williams was trying to relay her location to a dispatcher as the car settled into the swirling waters. “She was trying to tell the dispatcher where she was, and she could actually hear the sirens,” Ruth said. The two lost contact, and Ruth said a swift-water recovery team later found Williams’ body in the creek outside the car. Florence Police Chief Richard Thomas said the current where Williams died was fast and strong.

He said authorities got a call from a woman saying her car was being swept into the water. Authorities immediately began looking but couldn’t find her in time. Records from the county’s 911 center show the first call came at 4:35 a.m., responders were dispatched within 17 seconds and arrived at 4:42 a.m. “It was really quick,” Thomas said. Williams’ body was eventually recovered, and authorities pulled her small vehicle out of the water about three hours later. Florence is a town of about

Hood awaits office budget BY SARAH SMITH Associated Press

JACKSON — The Mississippi attorney general said Monday that he hopes cooler heads will prevail and the Legislature will pass a budget for his office. Lawmakers finished their threemonth regular session last week without funding Attorney General Jim Hood’s office or the Department of Transportation. Republican Gov. Phil Bryant will have to call a special session to set those budgets before the fiscal year begins July 1. Hood, the only Democrat in statewide office, said he would prefer that Bryant call a session just for the funding bills. Two big priorities in the Legislature — an education funding rewrite and a long-term plan to fund Mississippi’s ailing highways and bridges — did not happen during the regular session. A

multiyear plan to pay for highways and bridges was a particular sticking point between the House and the Senate. “I’m going to keep doing my job and they can keep playing the games they’re playing over there,” Hood said of the Republican-led Legislature. “When people start leading for political reasons, or giving tax cuts or passing legislation for political reasons, the people suffer.” Hood made his remarks during a news conference to kick off National Crime Victims’ Rights Week in Mississippi. The conference honored victim advocates and survivors of domestic violence and other crimes. As Hood made a case for lawmakers to set a budget for his office, he pointed out that the attorney general’s office is responsible for crime victims’ compensation and for compensating both injured policeman and firefighters.

enacted include the Battle of the Hornets Nest at 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 8 and the Battle of Grant’s Counterattack at 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 9. The battles will take place on Joe Dillon Road in Michie, Tenn. Gates open each day at 9:30 a.m. with a Ladies Tea scheduled for 11 a.m. on Saturday and a church service planned at 10 a.m. on Sunday. A Military Ball is also slanted for 8 p.m. on Saturday night in the activity tent. “The reenactment will feature more than 40 pieces of artillery. Some will be horse-drawn,” said Zeckman. “Both days will feature encampments and other activities throughout the day before and after the battles.” Spectators can gain access into the battle area each day. Adults are $10 per day, children 6 to 17 are $5 per day and children under 6 can enter for free. Parking will also be charged at $5 per vehicle, per day. Due to the remote location, only cash will be accepted. “The long range forecast looks good,” added Zeckman. “I think everything is setting up for a good battle.” The Atlanta Campaign Inc. is a nonprofit corporation whose mission is to educate students and help preservation and restoration projects with a monetary donation wherever and whenever possible. “We are a corporation owned by local reenactors in the Atlanta area,” said Zeckman. “After everything has been paid after a reenactment, we donate any raised funds to Civil War Trust projects.”

“We’re really excited about coming to Tennessee for the first time. Shiloh and the surrounding region is a beautiful area we can’t wait to work in. We’ll spend the entire week at Shiloh getting ready for two amazing days of battles for the public.” Earl Zeckman Atlanta Campaign co-chairman Zeckman said his company has been producing reenactments for more than 14 years in the Atlanta area. Next weekend’s Shiloh battle will be their first venture into Tennessee. The two-day reenactment is only a portion of the full slate of events planned for the anniversary weekend. The National Park Service has 21 diﬀerent hikes, programs and tours scheduled for April 5-9 at Shiloh National Military Park. The reenactment is not held on National Park Service land.

Judge delays trial for Rolling Fork mayor JACKSON — A judge is delaying the trial of a Mississippi Delta mayor accused of defrauding the Federal Home Loan Bank. Hinds County Circuit Judge Winston Kidd on Monday put off the trial of Rolling Fork Mayor Eldridge “Butch” Walker. He will set a new date soon. Walker’s attorney, Carlos Tanner, argues state prosecutors haven’t shared all evidence. He points to a press release announcing the federal court conviction of Kayla Lindsey that says Attorney General Jim Hood’s office helped investigate that case. Lindsey and Marlene Williams have pleaded guilty to making false statements to the bank. They controlled a nonprofit that disbursed grants to contractors. Walker’s October 2015 indictment charges him with submitting a false invoice for $5,800 in unnecessary home repairs on a Rolling Fork home, and conspiring with Williams to get paid.

Monument unveiling honors slain deputy PHILADELPHIA — Family and friends of a Neshoba County deputy sheriff who was ambushed and killed in the line of duty in

1927 dedicated a monument in his memory at Burnside on Saturday in hopes that he will never be forgotten. John Adam Myers, the former deputy, was ambushed by a moonshiner on his way into town on Oct. 7, 1927, to deliver depositions in a criminal case. The ambush occurred near the entrance to what is now Burnside Lake Park where the monument was dedicated. Myers’ great-grandson, Paul Hanser, formerly of Philadelphia and now of Wimberley, Texas, spearheaded the dedication, telling those in attendance that he read once that a man never dies if his name is spoken.

JACKSON — A lesbian couple from Mississippi traveled to Texas and spent their second wedding anniversary watching arguments in a court case that they believe could affect whether they face officially sanctioned discrimination in their home state. Brandiilyne MangumDear said she and her wife, Susan Mangum, were married in California in 2015, a few weeks before the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The Mississippi Legislature in early 2016 passed a law that would let merchants and government employees cite religious beliefs to deny services to same-sex couples. Gay and straight plaintiffs sued the state of Mississippi, and a federal district judge halted the law before it could take effect in July 2016, ruling that it unconstitutionally establishes preferred beliefs and creates unequal treatment for LGBT people.

Across the Region Tippah County

Today is Tuesday, April 4, the 94th day of 2017. There are 271 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History On April 4, 1968, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., 39, was shot and killed on a balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee.

On this date In 1818, Congress decided the flag of the United States would consist of 13 red and white stripes and 20 stars, with a new star to be added for every new state of the Union. In 1841, President William Henry Harrison succumbed to pneumonia one month after his inaugural, becoming the first U.S. chief executive to die in office. In 1859, “Dixie” was performed publicly for the first time by Bryant’s Minstrels at Mechanics’ Hall in New York. In 1864, President Abraham Lincoln, in a letter to Kentucky newspaper editor Albert G. Hodges, wrote: “I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me.” In 1887, Susanna Madora Salter became the first woman elected mayor of an American community: Argonia, Kansas. In 1917, the U.S. Senate voted 82-6 in favor of declaring war against Germany (the House followed suit two days later by a vote of 373-50).

Police investigate woman’s death TIPPAH COUNTY — An investigation is underway after a woman in her late 20s was found dead at a residence near Cotton Plant in Tippach County on March 28, according to the Southern-Sentinel. Tippah County Coroner Chris McCallister said the cause of death is unknown at this time and that he has carried the body to the state crime lab in Jackson for an autopsy. It is unclear if foul play was involved. Tippah County Sheriff’s department is currently investigating the case.

was questioned by authorities about molesting a 17-year-old boy. Police say he had flashed his headlights and pulled the teen over. Robinson was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside his home near Iuka on March 24. Robinson left the Tishomingo County Sheriff’s Department after a new sheriff was elected in 2015 and began working at the Tishomingo Police Department. Robinson was still working for the police department at the time of his death. Authorities are continuing to investigate. They seized the computer Robinson used.

Columbus Senior project focuses on reading, boosts library COLUMBUS — Seniors in the Heritage Academy Class of 2017 will leave a Literacy Legacy to benefit not only future classes but also youngsters in the community at large. Since the beginning of the academic year, the senior class project has weekly paired Heritage 12th-graders — Reading Buddies — with elementary students at Franklin Academy to strengthen youngsters’ reading skills. Class members read to children at pediatric clinics as well, and volunteer with Friends of the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library monthly book sales. They also raised $11,000 to enhance the HA high school library and make a donation to the Edwina Williams Endowment for Children’s Literature. “First and foremost, the mission of our project is to expand and help emphasize the importance and fun of literacy throughout Columbus,” said HA senior Reed Hairston, project publicity cochair. The result has proven positive for both the seniors and the children they are partnered with. “I love what I’ve seen in the

community,” said project sponsor Lynn Sneed, who teaches at Heritage. She also has a son in the Class of ‘17. “They sit down one-on-one and read AR books with elementary students and help them on their AR goals. I’ve loved to see how they interact.” Reading Buddies like HA senior Olivia Laws like being part of the outreach. “It’s been such a privilege to be able to read to the children at Franklin and watch them improve every week,” she said. “They have been such a blessing,” Franklin Academy Librarian Rebecca Houston said of the seniors. “They’ve really gotten the kids excited about reading. The kids love it.” She noted the friendships that have formed and a willingness on the part of some of the older students to spend extra time working with their elementary buddies, including helping with reading fairs. Literacy Legacy fundraising began in the fall with yard sales, bake sales and appeals to local businesses. Dollars raised have made possible updates underway at the HA library, to include technology upgrades, supplies, tables, books, shelving and a new mural. Funds collected also allowed the class to make a $1,000 contribution to the Edwina Williams Endowment in February. Going out to speak with businesses gave seniors experience in presenting themselves in a professional setting, Hairston noted. It also demonstrated to the class that community businesses care enough to make a difference. Seniors like that Literacy Legacy extends beyond the boundaries of the Heritage campus. It’s also a partnership between private and public schools, Sneed said. Senior Class President Hollis Phillips said, “My favorite thing is that we aren’t just helping students at Heritage; we

Man dies in boating accident on Sunday LOWNDES COUNTY — A Sunday boating accident in southeast Lowndes County has claimed a man’s life, reported WTVA. According to Lowndes County Coroner Greg Merchant, the victim is Mark Tomlinson, 44, of Columbus. Merchant says Tomlinson and his wife were on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Sunday near the Alabama line when a large wave ejected both from their boat. The coroner reports Tomlinson told his wife to swim to shore as he tried to remove the heavy boots he was wearing while swimming. When his wife got to the shoreline, she never saw her husband, said Merchant. The Lowndes County Sheriff’s Department and the Columbus Fire and Rescue dive team responded. Tomlinson’s body was found before dark. Merchant says the husband and wife were not wearing flotation devices.

Corinth, Miss.

Mississippi’s MLK-Lee day persists after decades JACKSON — Mississippi and Alabama are the only remaining states with a single holiday, in January, to honor both Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert E. Lee. Arkansas also had the dual Emily holiday for the civil rights leadWagster er and the Confederate genPettus eral, but Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson recently signed a Capitol Dome bill removing Lee. The law also expands requirements for what Arkansas schools will teach children about the Civil War and civil rights. “I expected this debate would divide us, but instead during the debate we listened to each other and the conversation brought us together,” Hutchinson said before signing the bill March 21. No bills were filed in Mississippi this year to remove Lee from the state’s dual holiday, and some lawmakers say they don’t expect to see a change anytime soon. The chairwoman of the Mississippi Legislative Black Caucus, Democratic Rep. Sonya Williams-Barnes of Gulfport, said a bigger concern for caucus members is removing the Confederate battle emblem that has been on the state flag since 1894. “It does seem like the remainder of the nation is moving forward as Mississippi continues to live in the past and remain last,” Williams-Barnes said of Arkansas moving to a holiday only for King. Mississippi enacted a law in 1987 to create the dual observance by adding Martin Luther King Jr. to the Robert E. Lee holiday that had existed since 1910. Democratic state Sen. Hillman Frazier of Jackson, who was in the state House at the time, sponsored the legislation and it was ignored by leadership the first year. Black lawmakers filibustered to bring attention to the push for a King holiday. Frazier said creating a dual holiday was a way to address criticism Mississippi could not afford another paid day off for government employees. Democratic Rep. Ed Blackmon of Canton was in the House when the dual holiday was created. He said this year that he thinks Mississippi is “a couple of election cycles away” from removing Lee from the dual holiday. “Nobody celebrates Robert E. Lee,” Blackmon said. “There are no barbecues held. There is no speechmaking or merrymaking. ... There are no Robert E. Lee sales at the mall. I just don’t believe there is that strong emotional attachment to Robert E. Lee as there is to the (state) flag.” To be fair, some people do celebrate Lee — and not only on a single day. “January is the month we honor Generals Robert E. Lee & Thomas J. Stonewall Jackson,” the Mississippi Division of Sons of Confederate Veterans says on its website. Biloxi officials were on the receiving end of a social media storm this year when a city Twitter account said local government offices would be closed for “Great Americans Day” when most of the nation was honoring King. The name came from a city ordinance adopted in 1985 — two years after creation of the federal holiday honoring King. Just before this year’s MLK holiday parade in Biloxi, the City Council voted to ditch “Great Americans Day.” As he signed the bill in Arkansas, Hutchinson said he was not looking to re-evaluate any other symbols of the Civil War, including Confederate memorials or a star on the Arkansas flag that represents the Confederacy. Even if Lee were to eventually be removed from the holiday, the state still has a holiday to mark its attempt at secession. State employees get a paid day off the last Monday in April — Confederate Memorial Day. Emily Wagster Pettus has covered Mississippi government and politics since 1994.

Prayer for today My Father, may I not err in choosing thy benefits, nor fail from the neglect to use them. Make me appreciative of all thy gifts, and, through thy wisdom and power, may I find the best use for them. Amen.

A verse to share The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”“Hosanna in the highest heaven!” —Matthew 21:9

Minor told Mississippi’s story well OXFORD — The phone rang. “Chah-lie? Bill Minor. Listen. You got that all wrong.” This is my 31st year. Back in 1986, when I asked colleagues around the state if there was room for another opinion columnist, more than one encouraged me to chime in, candidly adding that Minor “couldn’t last much longer.” Well, he did. More than three decades longer. Plenty long enough to let me know when I got something right or, more memorably, when I didn’t. As we all know, Wilson F. Minor, who died last week at the age of 94, was the venerable dean of Mississippi journalism in 1957, 1967, 1977 …. His mind held more firstperson detail of this state’s history than any other, and his gift of recall was without parallel. That phone call? If memory serves — and mine is no match for his — I had referenced a provision in the state’s 1890 Constitution, perhaps as it related to casino development. Minor told me my interpretation was wrong and explained why it was wrong. I was chagrined, of course, and wanted to ask him if his views were based on being in the room when the document

was written, but I didn’t. He was the dean, after all. Respect. M i n o r was as genCharlie erous with Mitchell his compliments as he Columnist was with his corrections. Through the years, I would get calls or notes when he felt a necessary observation had been made, adequately supported by fact. It’s not clear why the times he was ticked oﬀ bubble up, but they do. Not too many years ago in a column about how elections can be structured, I mentioned that Mississippi had once “flirted” with a primary system similar to Louisiana’s. I thought “flirted” was a fine word, given that the state never actually used nonpartisan primaries (except in judicial voting), but “flirting” gave Minor apoplexy. He devoted his entire next column to explaining why “flirting” was the wrong word. Called me out by name. Perhaps it’s perverse, but it was kind of an honor to be taken to the verbal woodshed in such a public way by Bill. Of course, there were times when Minor made mistakes. They weren’t mistakes of memory, but in

stringing things together. His detractors seized upon his mistakes as proof of incompetence. A reality in this business is that readers are skeptical (which is a good thing) and an error in a date, a name or even grammar becomes amplified to the point where the writer’s entire body of work is unjustly discredited. Anyway, I can’t think about Minor without remembering the tonguein-cheek description of a newspaper journalist written by New York Herald Tribune city editor Stanley Walker about the time Minor was born: “What makes a good newspaperman? The answer is easy. He knows everything. He is aware not only of what goes on in the world today, but his brain is a repository of the accumulated wisdom of the ages. “He is not only handsome, but he has the physical strength which enables him to perform great feats of energy. He can go for nights on end without sleep. He dresses well and talks with charm. Men admire him; women adore him; tycoons and statesmen are willing to share their secrets with him. “He hates lies, meanness and sham but keeps his temper. He is loyal to his paper and to what he looks

upon as his profession; whether it is a profession or merely a craft, he resents attempts to debase it. “When he dies, a lot of people are sorry, and some of them remember him for several days.” Two portions of that description that resonate for Minor. The first is energy. Most tributes have appropriately recalled his big stories, but most journalism is, well, mundane. Covering politics and the Legislature is not for people who want a thrill-a-minute life. More significantly, Minor worked diligently to expose oﬃcials who played the public for suckers. He was the bane of two-faced suits of any political stripe because he would tell his readers what they had said and how it didn’t fit with what they did. Those who didn’t practice what they preached knew Bill Minor was a reporter to avoid. Truth-tellers had nothing to fear. He also rode herd on the state’s media. As for the “several days” part, I have to believe Minor will be remembered much longer, especially by those of us he inspired.

This isn’t a function of poll numbers, or any melodrama of the past months, but something more fundamental: No oﬃceholder in Washington seems to understand President Donald Trump’s populism or have a cogent theory of how to effect it in practice, including the president himself. House Speaker Paul Ryan isn’t a populist and doesn’t want to be a populist. He has spent his adult life committed to a traditional limited-government agenda. He crafted his own platform during the campaign, the so-called Better Way agenda, to diﬀerentiate congressional Republicans from Trump. Trump, for his part, has lacked the knowledge, focus or interest to translate his populism into legislative form. He deferred to others on legislative priorities and strategies at the outset of his administration, and his abiding passion in the health care debate was, by all accounts, simply getting to a signing ceremony. In light of all this, the product of the Ryan-Trump

partnership was a health care bill bizarrely at odds with a national election ReRich p u b l i c a n s just Lowry had won on the National strength of Review workingclass voters. Under the GOP replacement, fewer people would have had coverage, and workers further down the income scale would have been particularly hard hit. Neither of these facts seemed to exercise the White House, at least not enough to try to do anything to fix them. Maybe Ryan doesn’t “get” the new political reality created by Trump’s victory, as the president’s boosters like to say. But what excuse does the president himself have for not getting it, either? A President Trump acting more in keeping with his free-floating reflex to take care of people, as expressed in speeches and interviews, would have

pushed the health bill to the left. But Trump so far hasn’t followed the logic of his own politics in dealing with Congress. His path not taken would have been to give an inaugural address with less carnage and more kumbayah. Immediately invite Chuck Schumer to the White House and tell him, “Chuck, you’re not leaving this building until we agree on an infrastructure package.” Take the resulting bigspending proposal and dare the GOP to defy him. Pass it with a bipartisan coalition. Now that the initial health care bill has gone down, there’s loose talk from the White House of wooing Democrats, but a lot has transpired the past few months that makes this much harder. And Trump’s style of politics is not well-suited to bipartisanship. Democrats tend to be fond of Republicans like John Kasich and Jon Huntsman, who are determinedly inoﬀensive and loath to touch hot-button issues. Trump is neither. He could propose a $2 trillion infrastructure bill funded

by forced requisitions from Wall Street bankers and Democrats would probably say, “Hell, no.” In any case, the White House is moving on to tax reform. This, too, may end up running in well-worn GOP ruts. Trump executed a hostile takeover of a Republican Party that was obsessed with the 1980s and cutting marginal tax rates. Now, the Republican Plan B is revisiting the tax reform of 1986 with ample cuts in marginal tax rates. If things continue to go badly over this first year, it’s easy to see Trump turning to the New York Democrats in his White House. This would entail less emphasis on trade, immigration and fights with the mainstream media, and more emphasis on a nonideological economic boosterism. The range of possible outcomes of the Trump presidency is still wide. Unexpectedly, one of them is that his most die-hard populist supporters will eventually be able to say that Trumpism, like socialism, hasn’t failed, it’s just never been tried.

Gorsuch temporarily blocked Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Democrats claimed the votes they needed Monday to block President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, but the victory was only fleeting, setting up a historic showdown with Republicans who intend to rewrite Senate rules and muscle Neil Gorsuch onto the high court. The coming fight was assured as the bitterly divided Judiciary Committee voted 11-9, along party lines, to send Gorsuch’s nomination to the full Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has vowed he will be confirmed on Friday. Short of the 60 votes needed to overcome procedural hurdles, McConnell is ready to lead Republicans in a unilateral voting change so significant in the rules-conscious Congress that it’s been dubbed the “nuclear option,” lowering the confirmation threshold to a filibuster-proof simple majority in the 100-member Senate. Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware became the key 41st vote for the

Boiler blast in St. Louis wounds 4 and kills 3 BY JIM SUHR Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — An explosion launched a van-sized boiler through the roof a St. Louis box company and slammed much of it down onto a laundry business across the street on Monday, killing three people and injuring four others, authorities said. One person died in the blast about 8 a.m. at the Loy-Lange Box Co. and two others were killed when a large piece of the boiler crashed into the nearby Faultless Healthcare Linen building’s office area, Fire Chief Dennis Jenkerson said. The explosion appears to have been an accident, but investigators were trying to pinpoint what caused the cast iron boiler — estimated to weigh a ton to a ton and a half — to explode, Jenkerson said. The blast occurred in a largely industrial area of south St. Louis.

Democrats Monday, declaring during committee debate that Gorsuch’s conservative record showed an activist approach to the law and that he evaded questions during his confirmation hearings. Coons also said that Republicans’ treatment of former President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, left lasting scars after they denied him so much as a hearing following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia early last year. “We are at a historic moment in the history of the United States Senate” due to actions by both parties, Coons said. “We have eroded the process for reaching agreement and dishonored our long traditions of acting above partisanship.” By day’s end, 43 Democrats had said they won’t support Gorsuch. The long-term consequences of the coming confrontation could be profound, as the rules change Republicans intend to enact would apply to future Supreme Court nominees, too, allowing them to be voted onto the court without any

O’Reilly, ex-Fox chief hit with more sex allegations BY DAVID BAUDER Associated Press

NEW YORK — A Fox News contributor came forward to level more sexual-harassment allegations against deposed chief executive Roger Ailes on Monday, two days after it was revealed the network’s most popular on-air personality, Bill O’Reilly, has settled multiple complaints about his own behavior with women. O’Reilly returned to the air on Monday following a weekend report in The New York Times that he and his employer had paid five women $13 million to settle allegations of sexual harassment or other inappropriate conduct by Fox’s ratings king. He made no mention of the case on his show. Meanwhile, the lawyer for another woman who says she was punished for rebuﬃng O’Reilly’s advances called on New York City’s Human Rights Commission to investigate O’Reilly’s be-

input from the minority party. And though predicting a justice’s votes can be diﬃcult, confirmation of the 49-year-old Gorsuch is expected to restore the conservative majority that existed while Scalia was alive, which could then be in place or even expand over decades to come as some of the more liberal justices age. For Republicans and Trump, Gorsuch’s confirmation will be a moment of triumph, a bright spot in a troubled young administration that’s failed on the legislative front with the health care bill and is under investigation over Russia connections. The nomination of Gorsuch, by contrast, has won universal praise from Republicans, some of whom call his appointment Trump’s best move so far as president. Gorsuch has spent more than a decade on the federal appeals bench in Denver where he’s issued consistently conservative rulings, and he appeared on Trump’s list of potential candidates partly generated by the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation during the campaign.

havior. The new lawsuit against Ailes was brought by Fox’s Julie Roginsky and is notable because it accuses Fox’s current management of trying to cover up for Ailes. Roginsky said Ailes, who lost his job last summer following sexualharassment complaints he has denied, suggested she have sex with “older, married, conservative

men.” She said Ailes would insist upon a kiss hello at their meetings, requiring her to bend over so he could look down her dress. She was seeking a permanent role on Fox’s show “The Five.” But after an April 2015 meeting at which she turned down Ailes’ advances, he wouldn’t meet with her again, and she never got the regular role, she said.

severity of a case may be. “We see people from all walks of life — people that are hurting financially,” he said. “Not a lot of people know that speech therapy is not covered under insurance the majority of the time unless you’ve got a serious head injury, and, also, dyslexia is not covered under insurance at all.

Jesus’ Word: God’s Last Word God has said his last word in Jesus Christ. “Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world” (Heb. 1:1-2). Moses’ Law was of divine origin, being “delivered by angels” (Acts 7:53). “It (the law) was put in place through angels” (Gal. 3:19). Hebrews, therefore, refers to the law as “the message declared by angels” (2:2). But then shows Christ, and the word spoken through Christ to be much greater. Christ is “much superior to angels” (Heb. 1:4), who are God’s servant messengers (Heb. 1:14), because Jesus is God’s Son (Heb. 1:5). At Jesus’ transfiguration, Peter proposed three tabernacles, one each for Moses, Elijah and Jesus. Moses and Elijah disappeared, only Jesus remained, and God said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him” (Matt. 17:5). Jesus’ word through the apostles does not allow for substitution. “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel - not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you. Let him be accursed” (Gal. 1:6-8) Nor does it allow for additions. God made a promise to Abraham and to us, and the law which came 430 years later cannot change that promise. “To give a human example, brothers, even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified” (Galatians 3:15). Later revelations are unnecessary. Those who think they hear God speaking directly to them today are likewise mistaken. Jesus is the embodiment of truth (John 14:6). He came into to bear witness to the truth (John 18:37). He and His Spirit-of truth inspired (John 16:13) holy apostles and prophets (Ephesians 3:5) gave us God’s final and complete revelation, once for all. No need to look for another. Hear Him!

Today

Eye on trade Economists predict that the nation’s trade deficit narrowed in February after spiking the previous month. The trade gap increased to $48.5 billion in January as a flood of imported mobile phones, oil and foreign-made cars offset a small gain in U.S. exports. It was the largest monthly gap since a deficit of $50.2 billion in March 2012. The Commerce Department is expected to report today that the trade deficit shrank to $46 billion in February.

Macau’s odds improve Macau is back on a winning streak. The former Portuguese colony, which years ago surpassed the Las Vegas Strip as the world’s biggest casino market, is recovering from a prolonged slump. The tiny Chinese city’s gambling revenues bottomed out last summer after two years of contraction triggered by an anticorruption crackdown. Revenues have now expanded for six straight months and analysts expect that luck to hold when official figures for March are released. Savvy investors have been rewarded for wagering

on Hong Kong-listed casino operators such as Sands China, Wynn Macau and MGM China, whose shares have rallied since July. Macau accounts for the bulk of profits for their Las Vegas-based parent companies. However, it’s unlikely Macau will return to the supercharged growth of its boom years. Wealthy mainland Chinese gamblers haven’t yet returned en masse to play VIP baccarat. New resorts have brought an oversupply of hotel rooms. And competition for Asian gamblers is growing as places like Japan move to legalize casinos.
