      • Tom Henderson, West side

      So, now Trump is suing the state of Alaska to prevent certification of the November election results if the Democratic candidate wins. This makes about as much sense as a major league baseball team insisting that a game it lost not be counted in determining which teams will play in the World…

                  If you’ve watched TV lately, you’ve probably seen this ad.

                    As a psychotherapist treating child sexual abuse survivors, I am concerned about the impact on survivors of an attack ad Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has directed at his opponent, Dr. Amy Acton.

Are they helping (other than themselves) or passively "enjoying the ride"? The Federal government (effectively Trump) are getting way …

                      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.
