LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Still chance for Ted Cruz?

We face a tough election choice. Donald Trump may be too unstable to trust with the nuclear trigger. Hillary Clinton seems to support the Iran deal that allows a 24-day waiting period before the inspection of a suspected nuclear site. Some experts say that's not a problem, but other experts say it is. Published July 26, 2016

Radical Islam and the descent into depravity

Radical Islam descends to a level of barbarism beyond the imagination of civilized man. Women and children, and 87-year-old priests, become favorite targets. They can't easily fight back, though the heroic priest slain on his knees before the altar at a Roman Catholic Church in France tried, and gave up his life defending his parishioners.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Donald Trump’s much ado about nothing

The wall, the wall, the wall. If you listen to Donald Trump's double-talk on Muslims, immigration and more you will realize how far off the wall he is. Published July 25, 2016

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: U.S. indeed less safe now

When you look at the statistics of the past 10 years, crime has been trending downward. Even with the increase in crime in the largely Democratic inner cities such as Chicago, Baltimore and Washington, the overall national trend of major crimes in America has been down until this year.

Bernie Sanders supporters jeer Hillary Clinton as DNC gets underway

The Democrats, like a pig stuck in a barbed wire fence, have a lot to cry about. Their nominee got the telephone call from the governor (or in this case the FBI) with the hoped-for stay of execution, their national convention just barely escaped implosion, but the landslide victory they expected only a month ago doesn't look like that any longer.

Trouble in China as Obama looks the other way

When China spits, Asia swims. Everybody east of Suez learns that ancient tribute to the size and ambitions of the Middle Kingdom. Now Asia hears the harsh hocking noise that sounds suspiciously like China clearing its throat. Published July 25, 2016

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Judge, attorney corruption egregious

Cal Thomas' op-ed is spot-on about the way in which the corruption, disorder and division in our society is a reflection of what's in the hearts of each of us ("Cause and effect," Web, July 20). I don't believe the loss of Christianity is to blame because throughout history wickedness has been carried out by those who describe themselves as Christians. It is undeniable that we have lost the values, the "moral gravity that once kept us grounded, and the boundaries that kept us safe." Published July 24, 2016

Prince George feeds ice cream to dog, fanatics descend

There's a new crisis in Old Blighty. Prince George, son of the duke and duchess of Cambridge and grandson of Queen Elizabeth II, could soon be a common felon, and he's not quite 3 years old. It's not likely, but you never know. There's photographic proof that he committed a dastardly deed. Published July 24, 2016

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Illegals erode more than borders

The title of Donald Lambro's recent op-ed "This bizarre election year" (Web, July 14) teased the reader into thinking the piece was a fair and balanced review of the two 2016 presidential candidates. Instead it was a one-sided attack on the basic tenets of Donald Trump's plan to control our southern border, end sanctuary havens for illegal immigrants and enforce laws to preserve employment opportunities for law-abiding citizens.

Terrorists murder faster than Obama can offer condolences

President Obama tries to project a sunny outlook on the world, mostly by denying that anything bad is happening anywhere. But he's having a hard time of it staying ahead of the radical Islamic terrorists who, he says, don't really exist. Published July 24, 2016

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: RNC Clownish convention

This year's Republican National Convention has been a fiasco, a veritable comedy of errors. Published July 21, 2016

Campaign season the season of skepticism

It was inevitable that when the Digital Revolution spawned the internet, the Information Revolution would be followed by the Misinformation Revolution. Published July 21, 2016

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Take HSBC to task

The opening-night theme of the Republican National Convention this year was "Make America Safe Again." Perhaps the best way to help achieve this objective would be to root out all the banks that launder money to drug-trafficking cartels and terrorist organizations. Published July 21, 2016

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Inured to ISIS?

No one wants to see what is going on in Islamic-State-controlled Aleppo and Raqqa, Syria, but recent reports from CNN show the truth about what is happening in that war-torn part of the world. It is absolutely horrific, but I'm hesitant to share it with any of my friends because people just don't want to hear about it. Published July 21, 2016

Ted Cruz and an act of betrayal

Ted Cruz might have thought he was opening his 2020 campaign for president with his remarkable snub of the party and its nominee for president, but he was more likely making a deal with the undertaker. Published July 21, 2016

Media baffled by changed politics

Some of the Democrats in the media and without seem to be all heart. They're worried that the Republicans are ruining their convention in Cleveland. They say so at every opportunity. Published July 20, 2016

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Hillary Clinton not off hook yet

In light of FBI Director James Comey's 'no-indictment' determination of Hillary Clinton, many people have become angry or depressed, chanting "A Clinton won again" ("Why the FBI let Hillary Clinton off," Web, July 11). Ronald Kessler notes that Mr. Comey did not want to take on "an unwinnable case" under Section 793(f) of the U.S. criminal code. However, as a glass-half-full kind of person, I see an opportunity here. Published July 20, 2016

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Don’t give corruption the wheel

July 4, 1776 is a holy day on the calendar of American history and a turning point in world affairs. July 5, 2016 is now a day that shall live in infamy, because it was the day the FBI decided that all men, but not all women, may be equal before the law. Published July 20, 2016

U.S. energy policy foolishness over fossil fuels

The masterminds who put their heads together to "improve" the planet sometimes only bump those heads together. Environmentalists have confidently -- and arrogantly -- declared that their "green" policies are based on "settled science," but evidence continues to trickle in to dispute that. On paper, saving the world is as elementary as ridding it of fossil fuels. Experience, however, teaches that "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Published July 20, 2016

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Saudis no ally

We are far beyond the point at which America should have awoken to the deep and lasting deception and harm that has been the hallmark of Saudi Arabia's "friendly and cooperative" relationship with the United States ("Secret chapter of 9/11 inquiry released after 13-year wait," Web, July 15).
