In his speech to Congress last night, President Trump told the Democrats that there was absolutely nothing he could say that would cause them to stand and applaud.
While seeking another stay in the White House, Donald Trump did what most politicians do: promised the moon to those who might help him get elected. Trump also assured us that promises made would be promises kept. But as former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo is famously quoted, “You campaign in p…
The stretch of Interstate 5 that runs through the heart of California’s sunbaked Central Valley would be forgettable if not for the stench of manure. Cattle ranches, some tightly packed with livestock, sprawl to the horizon.

Gutting federal agencies will not make government more efficient. Layoffs of capable, experienced staff doing important work for the American people will harm us all.
Willie Dickerson ("Speak up: Together we can turn this around," March 20), like seemingly so many others, blindly accepts that government social welfare programs are inherently good, absolutely necessary, and invariably effective. Nothing could be more wrong.

I am opposed to an expansion of the Coffin Butte landfill. For over 50 years I relied on a big breath of sweet Soap Creek air to boost my spirits. Too often these days, my nose is assaulted by an odor like vomit and feces wafting from the dump.

Why is Congress protecting untraceable weapons?
A nearly three-week strike at Greater Albany Public Schools is finally over, and before we say anything that might offend — and we very well might — let us say that we do support teachers and their important mission. Benjamin Franklin once said, "An investment in knowledge pays the best inte…
It’s somewhat astonishing that we have to make the following two assertions, but perhaps in today’s political climate, nothing should surprise us anymore. So here we go.
While seeking another stay in the White House, Donald Trump did what most politicians do: promised the moon to those who might help him get elected. Trump also assured us that promises made would be promises kept. But as former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo is famously quoted, “You campaign in poetry.
