    Pope Leo Calls for Peace and Dignity | Hattiesburg News

    Pope Leo XIV electrified crowds in Rimini and San Marino with a powerful message of peace, mercy, and human dignity, condemning war and divisive ideologies while uplifting young Catholics as the future of faith. In San Marino, he honored its Christian roots and the legacy of Saints Marino and Leone, calling the tiny republic a “laboratory of good politics” that teaches resilience and community amid modern distrust. He warned against systems that prioritize profit over people and urged Christians to dismantle unjust power structures, rebuild society through dialogue, and restore the dignity of every human life—from conception to natural death. His call to action: embrace encounter, reject violence, and build peace by choosing connection over conflict. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Dengue Fever Hits Florida | Hattiesburg News

    Dengue fever has hit Citrus County, Florida — and it’s spreading. With cases already confirmed in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties too, health officials are sounding the alarm. This isn’t a cold — it’s a flu-like illness with brutal muscle pain, fever, and rash, carried by mosquito bites, not person-to-person. Prevent it: wear long sleeves, use EPA-approved repellent, seal up screens, and dump standing water — your best defense against these biting pests.

    Singing Apes, Saving Species | Hattiesburg News

    In a quiet corner of California, the Gibbon Conservation Center shelters forty endangered gibbons across five species, their haunting songs echoing through the sanctuary. Founded over fifty years ago and now led by director Gabi Skollar, the center is a global hub for gibbon research, breeding, and rescue. Skollar, who lives on-site with fellow caretaker Jodi Kleier, treats the gibbons like her own children, fostering deep bonds that include tattoos, daily feedings, and lifelong dedication. With successful breeding programs for rare Javan gibbons and partnerships with universities, the center trains the next generation of conservationists. Skollar’s vision? Expanding enclosures and launching an education center to ensure these musical apes survive — one voice at a time.

    Judge Rejects New Trial for Karmelo Anthony | Hattiesburg News

    A Texas judge has rejected Karmelo Anthony’s bid for a new trial in his murder conviction, upholding his 35-year sentence for stabbing 17-year-old track athlete Austin Metcalf during a high school meet. Despite defense claims of courtroom bias, restricted public access, and last-minute strategy shifts that kept Anthony from testifying, the judge found no grounds to overturn the verdict. While social media amplified racial tensions in the case — Anthony is Black, Metcalf was white — both sides insisted race played no role. Prosecutors respect the ruling, while Anthony’s team vows to appeal. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Ceasefire Talks Stall Amid Gaza Strikes | Hattiesburg News

    Deadly airstrikes in Gaza kill at least ten, including children and police, just as U.S. efforts to broker a ceasefire stall amid mounting tensions. Israel claims strikes targeted Hamas militants, but Gaza officials report civilian casualties, including a 13-year-old girl. U.S. negotiator Jared Kushner pressed Netanyahu to scale back operations, while Israel investigates 150 incidents of alleged misconduct, including killings of a five-year-old and paramedics. Hamas accuses the U.S.-backed peace board of enabling escalation, and core issues like disarmament and withdrawal remain unresolved as over 73,000 Palestinians have died since the war began.

    A tragic shooting at Independence High School in Bakersfield claimed the life of a 17-year-old student Friday night—just blocks from a live football game.

    Southern Miss Still Building | Hattiesburg News

    Southern Miss football wrapped up fall camp, but head coach Blake Anderson made it clear the real work is just beginning — calling it a “trap question” when asked if they hit all their goals. Progress was made, but significant development remains before kickoff. The focus now shifts to refining strategy and execution as they gear up for competition. The coaching staff’s message? This team knows the road ahead is long, and true success won’t come until the lights are on. With no secrets spilled, the emphasis on relentless improvement signals a team committed to growth — and the coming weeks will reveal how well they translate camp into game-day performance.
