I find it incredibly ironic that Dave Griffiths, in his letter to the editor (March 2), disparages one of the GOP candidates for president as a serial liar, while inferring my support for that candidate. I don’t presume to know to whom he is referring, but I do know who is the actual serial liar […]

Nation must come to its senses
As a recovering ex-Democrat for the past 14 years, I find it incredibly sad to see what depths that once great party has devolved to. The party I knew used to represent and speak to and for the hard-working common people. Now it seems to speak to and for those who refuse to work and […]

The sad state of our union
I had a thought that no better evidence of the sad moral and intellectual state of our nation could be found than the fact that voters may be presented with a choice between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

Bernie, Hillary share gloomy outlook
Watching last Thursday’s debate between Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders one might have thought a Republican had been in the White House for nearly eight years. Hearing their complaints about the economy (bad), discrimination (rampant), health care (too many without it), unemployment (too many not working, or working at low-paying jobs), […]

Hillary must find a brand of inspiration
WASHINGTON — It has never been easy to be Hillary Clinton. Evidence for that proposition is already in the minds of many who are reading this: What do you mean Hillary hasn’t had it easy? Would she even be in this race if she hadn’t been married to Bill Clinton? Would she have been elected […]

Clinton needs a different 3-point plan
Hillary Clinton is the Great Underestimator. Eight years ago, she underestimated Barack Obama and now she has underestimated Bernie Sanders. We know this not only from what happened in 2008 and what is happening now but from the pitiful confessions of her campaign staff who admit they never saw Sanders coming. That’s understandable. It’s not […]

Hillary’s voter support takes nosedive
“Slip slidin’ away Slip slidin’ away You know the nearer your destination The more you’re slip slidin’ away.” — Paul Simon It’s happening again. The “inevitability” of Hillary Clinton’s presidential candidacy may not be so inevitable after all. Unlike eight years ago when Barack Obama beat her for the Democratic nomination and ultimately won the […]
