        The Federal Government is engaging in cruel practices.

        Letter: Where we are at

        • Ron Rude, West side

        The scope and scale of Trump’s brilliant presidency of criminality is staggering. Knowing he holds the “zero-integrity GOP” completely in his pocket, he forges ahead mightily in a vile rampage against God’s creation, including human decency, and especially those on the margins and most vulnerable.

              Letter: School closure

                I was saddened to read about the planned closure of Cavett Elementary school. To me, it is symbolic of how our State legislature has worked diligently to undermine the public school system. I attended Cavett the first year it opened and I still remember my first and second grade teachers. Th…

                  Political strategists are preparing their explanations for what the results of the midterm elections will mean. Depending on who wins, we'll hear that voters have embraced one party's agenda, rejected the other's ideology, or delivered a mandate for a new direction.

                    Ask many people what worries them about artificial intelligence, and you will likely hear some version of a sci-fi movie storyline: The machine wakes up one morning, works out that people are the obstacle and starts making its own arrangements. I've worked with these systems for a living, an…

                      The most important outcome in the midterm elections may not be whether Democrats or Republicans come out on top. It may be whether both parties accept the results.

                      A defining moment from John McCain’s 2008 campaign is being revisited as a reminder of political integrity, highlighting the importance of correcting misinformation — even within one’s own party — in today’s polarized climate.
