        Political platform statements are weird documents as a rule. They seek to appease pet constituencies and embrace a lot of ideas that most candidates would prefer mainstream voters either ignore or, better yet, never know about.

          Brides should know they already have a man. They don't have to use their wedding to attract a date for Saturday night. They've supposedly secured one for the foreseeable future.

            Letter: Advocacy for term limits

              Kay Granger, a congresswoman from Texas, stopped voting on July 24. It was later confirmed that she was living in a senior living facility suffering from dementia. Tom Kean Jr., a representative from New Jersey, missed more than 140 votes from early March to June 30. It was then revealed he …

              Letter: Hey Boomer

                Remember when ICE began, and they were disappearing people off the streets, with their due process and rights being violated? I remember how you ridiculed us for standing up for them. You have confirmed at another time, that you are a “critical thinker”. If that’s true, you may want to do so…

                Why do we value honesty more than we practice it? | The Ethical Life podcast

                  🎧 From everyday lies to artificial intelligence, the hosts examine self-deception, declining trust and how repeated choices gradually shape personal character.

                  We can’t fix America’s schools without data | Michael R. Bloomberg

                    Can private screeners do the job of the TSA? | Chicago Tribune

                      Those of us of a certain age remember the grainy security videos on Sept. 11, 2001, when bored and inattentive private screeners let murderers and hijackers through checkpoints. That led Congress to create the federal Transportation Security Administration with widespread support from Americans who never wanted to see that happen again.

                      The world gets richer | Las Vegas Review-Journal

                        Polls show that many Americans today — particularly younger ones — have a less-than-favorable view of free-market capitalism. A recent Gallup survey found that just 54% of respondents had a positive opinion of the economic system.

                        I read with genuine interest the Arizona Daily Star’s recent story about David Hoffmann’s investment in Lee Enterprises and his vision for local newspapers.

                        Local opinion: What leaders like John McCain understood about the truth

                        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.

                        Juan Ciscomani has a pivotal role to play in protecting public lands. It's a role that he must fulfill.
