    Jacksonville Votes on Fairer Council Elections | Little Rock News

    This November, Jacksonville voters face a pivotal choice: keep the current at-large city council election or switch to ward-specific voting. Under the status quo, all residents vote for all ten council members, allowing candidates to win their neighborhoods but lose overall due to votes from elsewhere. The proposed change would let only ward residents vote for their two representatives, backed by groups like the NAACP and academics who argue it promotes fairer, neighborhood-focused representation. Critics of the current system say it’s skewed toward wealthy areas, leads to low turnout, and lets one party dominate—while supporters believe ward elections better reflect local needs. With the mayor staying neutral, this ballot measure could reshape how Jacksonville governs itself. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Lightning Strikes Historic Little Rock Home | Little Rock News

    Lightning struck a historic 1887 home in Little Rock, igniting a two-hour fire that destroyed the roof and left owners facing a gut renovation. The real disaster? Water damage ruined everything — clothes, shoes, decades of renovations — while soaked family photos from the attic may be beyond saving. Once owned by a sewing machine magnate and restored by a local broker who lived there for 20 years, this storied house now stands at a crossroads: rebuild or lose its legacy.

    Sutton Smith's Ground Game Crisis | Little Rock News

    Sutton Smith’s shaky performance against North Alabama raises red flags: 36 yards on 15 carries isn’t just bad—it’s alarming for a player already battling injury history. While he flashed in the passing game, the ground game is the real concern, especially with him also handling punt returns. Arkansas needs to shift to a committee approach, letting Smith shine in space while trusting a bigger back for tough carries. The Utah game will be the ultimate test—get it right, or risk another injury or a stagnant run game. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Jackson’s Growth Tested Against Utah | Little Rock News

    KJ Jackson delivered a solid debut under center for Arkansas, leading a dominant 31-14 win over North Alabama with 267 yards and three touchdowns—but the real test looms: a brutal road trip to Utah. The Utes’ elite pass rush and physical secondary will expose any lapses, especially against a young QB still learning to handle top-tier defenses. Jackson’s mistakes—interception, fumble—were masked by a stellar defense and ball control, but Utah won’t be as forgiving. Arkansas must tighten up execution, protect the ball, and rely on a balanced offense to give Jackson a fighting chance against a hungry, disciplined Utes squad.

    Boating Safely This Labor Day | Little Rock News

    Labor Day weekend means more boaters on Arkansas waterways — and that means extra caution. With heat, alcohol, and longer trips adding up to risky conditions, officials are urging everyone to check the weather, have life jackets for all, and designate a sober operator. Boating isn’t just like driving — it’s serious, with steep penalties for impaired operation. As river traffic swells with kayakers, paddleboarders, and shore fishermen, slow down, stay alert, and be patient with newcomers. Safety starts with preparation, respect, and staying sober behind the wheel — so you can enjoy the water and get home safely.

    Marshall Shines as Jackson's Steady Target | Little Rock News

    KJ Jackson relied heavily on Chris Marshall in their win over North Alabama, as Marshall hauled in seven catches for 79 yards — the team’s top performer. Though he avoided big plays, his consistency was crucial when Jackson struggled. Coach Silverfield noted the offense excelled at intermediate passes but failed to exploit Marshall’s deep-threat potential, especially in one-on-one matchups where Marshall showed flashes of explosive ability. With Utah looming, expect more deep shots if Jackson gains confidence and protection. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Garbage pickup gets pushed back by a day (or even longer in some areas), libraries shut their doors, and public transit like Rock Region Metro goes dark.

    Razorbacks Win But Struggle to Dominate | Little Rock News

    The Razorbacks opened with a win over North Alabama, but it wasn’t pretty. They dominated stats—yards, first downs, time of possession—but struggled to finish drives and put the game away. QB KJ Jackson shined with 69% completion, 267 yards, 3 TDs, and just 1 INT, distributing to 12 receivers. The offense got a C-plus for high volume but low efficiency, especially on the ground and in the red zone. Defense held strong, limiting North Alabama to 153 yards, but gave up two touchdowns in the red zone. Discipline was brutal—8 penalties for 74 yards—and Coach Silverfield’s vision of toughness, smarts, and discipline is still a work in progress.

This isn’t about politics—it’s about truth: Africa looks tiny on Mercator, when it’s actually 14 times bigger than Greenland. African nations are demanding accurate geography in classrooms, and the new map delivers that. The U.S. called it an “ideological agenda,” but the African Union cheered it as a long-overdue correction.

    Arkansas’ 2026 schedule is brutal—every FBS opponent opened with a dominant win, averaging nearly 40 points. While teams like Utah, Georgia, and Tennessee crushed lesser foes, Arkansas barely eked out a 31-14 victory over FCS North Alabama, struggling with turnovers and a weak run game. Coach Ryan Silverfield called it unacceptable. Vanderbilt also looked sloppy in its win, while SEC powerhouses Texas A&M, South Carolina, and Texas cruised. Tulsa shocked Oklahoma State, LSU obliterated Clemson 51-10, and Auburn squeaked past Baylor. With the SEC off to a 15-0 start, Arkansas has a mountain to climb—and two massive tests against Utah and Georgia loom. If they don’t fix their issues fast, this season could be a long one.

    Huckabee in Turmus Ayya Amid Settler Violence | Little Rock News

    U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee’s visit to Turmus Ayya, a West Bank town plagued by settler violence and home to many American citizens, sparked urgent debate. Meeting with Palestinian Americans—including families of victims—he condemned the attacks as terrorism, not mere crime, and urged accountability. While Israel condemns the violence, prosecutions remain rare, prompting U.S. pressure. Critics argue the problem is systemic, not isolated, and that Washington has more leverage than it admits. The embassy insists it lacks enforcement power but can spotlight abuses—especially after recent sanctions rescinded on settler groups.

    Kushner and Witkoff Meet Putin in Moscow | Little Rock News

    U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff landed in Moscow for high-stakes talks with Vladimir Putin, aiming to de-escalate the Ukraine war — even as bombs fell on both capitals.

Despite the carnage, diplomats described the meeting as constructive, touching on economics and joint ventures — all while Ukraine fires back with long-range strikes. With U.S. attention diverted to Iran, momentum for peace has stalled — but the battlefield remains brutal, sirens blaring daily in Kyiv.

    U.S. Strikes Iranian Oil Tankers | Little Rock News

The strikes, targeting vessels linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and regional proxies, come amid heightened tensions over shipping lanes and sanctions evasion, with Iran calling the actions a war crime and threatening further retaliation.

    Robin Morgan: Feminist Icon Who Defied Norms | Little Rock News

    Robin Morgan, the fiery feminist poet and activist who helped ignite the second-wave movement with her protest against Miss America and her landmark anthology “Sisterhood is Powerful,” has died at 85. A fearless voice who coined “herstory,” wielded the clenched fist symbol, and penned revolutionary poems like “Monster,” Morgan lived a life of radical defiance—from child star to counterculture icon. Arrested for protesting Grove Press, she challenged power structures, critiqued cultural figures, and refused to be boxed in, even as Parkinson’s slowed her down. Her legacy lives on through books, media organizations, and the enduring power of her words: “hate generalizes, love specifies.” Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
