LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Donald Trump must save us from Hillary Clinton
Slamming Donald Trump is nothing new for the liberal media, but when it blindly endorses Hillary Clinton, who has a history of malfeasance, abuse of power and corruption, they hurt America and the people. Published September 27, 2016
Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump debate doesn’t move the needle
All that trouble, all that anticipation of "the debate of the century," and all that anti-climax. Neither Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton moved the needle so much as a millimeter. Published September 27, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Recep Tayyip Erdogan no U.S. ally
Ali Cinar scales the heights of absurdity in trying to portray Turkey as a reliable American ally ("Turkey's critical anti-terror role," Web, Sept. 13). Turkey gave the Islamic State and the Nusra Front arms, free passage across the Syrian border, and even hospitals for their wounded. And now we're supposed to believe they're fighting the Islamic State? Published September 26, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Worse off under Obama
Does anyone else find it interesting that President Obama had to reach all the way back 150 years to slavery to find a time in which African-Americans were in a worse situation than they are now, after eight years of his administration ("Obama mocks Trump: Even 8-year-olds know slavery was bad for black people," Web, Sept. 23)? Published September 26, 2016
What Americans are looking for beyond the debates
We heard a lot of promises Monday night, when Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton at last took the measure of each other face to face. Both the Donald and the gentle lady from the Clinton counting house were trying to show us how they would lead the nation, dispatch the nation's enemies and bestow all the free stuff that voters have come to expect as their due.

Voter fraud undercuts integrity of elections
It's easy to feel lost in a nation of 320 million. But it's the strength and glory of the American way that the least among us has a say, no smaller and no bigger than anyone else, with a vote on Election Day. Published September 26, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Hillary Clinton, Obama made U.S. weak
Who in this country thinks that appeasing or buying off the enemy is the right way to go? Hillary Clinton and President Obama have demonized Donald Trump for wanting our country to be strong again; Mrs. Clinton has recently gone so far as to say that because of his stance on terrorism, Mr. Trump is helping to recruit Islamic State terrorists. Published September 25, 2016
Home invasions in Illinois, Georgia have different outcomes
There's a lot of miles between downtown Chicago and, say, Valdosta. Illinois and Georgia are very different places, and the politicians who live there have a profound disagreement about guns. Illinois politicians take pride in their gun-control laws that enable gangbangers, killers and other thugs to rape, rob and kill all but unmolested in Chicago and its frightened suburbs. Published September 25, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Left’s selective OK of voter-ID laws
With the 2016 presidential election approaching, Democrats' attempts to restore voting rights for convicted felons and dismantle voter-ID laws exposes a discredited left desperate to increase turnout by racially manufacturing and exploiting the "voter suppression" fallacy. Published September 25, 2016
Donald Trump doesn’t have to hit a homerun to send Hillary Clinton packing
There's baseball tonight, and politics, too. Politics, like baseball, is a game of inches. A called strike, two inches within the strike zone, a fly ball that clears the left-field fence by three inches. A tag at third base misses by four inches. An inch here and two inches there, and a late-inning rally ruined. Published September 25, 2016
Obama’s farewell tour
Sarah Bernhardt, the French superstar at the end of a career as "the most famous actress the world has ever known," famously set out on a farewell tour that was so successful she repeated it, several times. Published September 22, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Rep. John Lewis deserves medal
The Philadelphia Liberty Medal is a highly reputable prize. Rep. John Lewis of Georgia is an excellent choice for this year's recipient ("John Lewis awarded Liberty Medal for civil rights work," web, Sept. 19). The prize has an established history and Mr. Lewis is an effective congressman. Published September 22, 2016
Why Hillary Clinton isn’t winning by a landslide
Hillary Clinton is smart -- she has the academic credentials to prove it -- but she can't figure out why she isn't scoring above 50 percent in the public-opinion polls. Life on the hustings just ain't fair. Published September 22, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Call terrorism by its name
When will terrorist actions actually be called terrorism by the leaders of this country? After the explosion in New York City, Gov. Cuomo stated that there was no evidence of international terrorism connected to it. Published September 22, 2016
Rioting in North Carolina
Black lives matter, and they matter so much that everyone, black or white, is responsible for protecting them. That begins with demanding that "demonstrators" and "protesters" pay a little respect to the black lives they say they honor. Published September 21, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Democrats, No purse from this sow
Fellow Democrats, wake up. There is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- in either the soul or the track record of Hillary Clinton that should make voters enthusiastic. Virtually every day a new scandal surfaces, and the rumors are that the really big scandals have yet to emerge ("Millennial voters spurning Clinton, but not for GOP," Web, Sept. 19). Published September 21, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Liberals’ refugee penance
This week the United States welcomed its 10,000th Syrian refugee. There are 30,000 more waiting in line. This helping of distressed human beings is a big thrill to confused Democrats. It doesn't matter that last Sunday bombs were set off in New York and New Jersey, or that nine people were sliced with a cleaver in Minnesota. And what was the glue that connected these events? Muslim hatred of western values. Published September 21, 2016
Obama bypasses Congress to enact overtime rule
Barack Obama is worried about the legacy he'll bequeath to history in just three months. Like all presidents he wants to be remembered as a good president if not a great president, but he keeps doing things that will render the memory of his presidency as something forgettable between the work of Chester Alan Arthur and Jimmy Carter. Published September 21, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: What about gang violence?
During my lifetime, both Democratic and Republican presidents, House and Senate members and the mainstream media have shown just how out of touch they are with regular Americans. Published September 20, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Emmys show Hollywood’s decline
The insidious injustice of O.J. Simpson getting away with a vicious double murder and then being honored by dominating the Emmy Awards comes as no surprise, as it headlines the reckless decline of the entertainment industry ("'Game of Thrones,' 'Veep' take top honors at Emmys," Web, Sept. 18).
