Joe Voisine: Biden has run U.S. with a blank check

Government incompetence is not an option when it comes to protecting our future. President Biden continues to lie about out-of-control inflation, saying it’s only temporary. Banks are going under. No need to panic. People’s retirement savings are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. They’re also getting 0.01% interest on their savings […]

Ben Lounsbury: A view of traffic at proposed Gracelawn Road development

People have probably driven past the proposed Gendron development site near Lake Auburn that has generated so much legal and zoning controversy.

It’s encouraging to see our judicial system do what it’s supposed to do. Now someone needs to make sure that the justices of our Supreme Court know that […]

William LaRochelle: Kudos to Thomas on Trump column

These words of columnist Cal Thomas cover a multitude of what I consider his misjudgments:  “… it is Trump’s bad character, displayed in many ways and over many years, that has brought him to this breaking point,” i.e., his recent indictment (“Wisdom for Trump: Character matters,” April 6). Kudos to Thomas for speaking truth to […]

Clarence Page: Justice Clarence Thomas’ appearance of impropriety? We’ll be the judge

Whether his failure to file all of his disclosure statements resulted from bad legal advice or not, he is hardly the only person who needs to have a code of ethics to help end that confusion.
