When hunting turkeys, success is always predicated by the bird’s interest in one of two things: sex or food. During spring gobbler season, concentrate on the desire of toms to mate, but when hunting turkeys in the fall, think food. Like most creatures out there, turkeys spend their fall days...

Why did I vote for Libertarian Party candidate Jo Jorgensen, who teaches psychology at Clemson University, for president? Could not chose tweets from a twerp, or one who believes killing babies should be permitted. Lawrence E. Howard Jr. Plum...

This information is given to me from the nearby churches for your voting preferences. It is their thoughts, not mine. I am only the messenger. This presidential race is really a contest between truth and fiction. More than in any other campaign, you need to familiarize yourself with reality and...

Politicians are well known for making a whole shopping list of promises addressing what they will do to correct the many world and everyday life problems. But what is more important is: Can they or have they demonstrated they can perform in such a way to keep the promise? We...

The only platform the Democratic Party runs on is they believe in issues that appear helpful, yet they have no idea how they will pay for it — universal health care, open borders and mandatory paid leave, just to name three. There is no way any candidate on any level...

The Pittsburgh Pirates were the first Major League Baseball team eliminated from postseason contention this year. For fans of the team, this wasn’t surprising. For years, the Pirates have been stuck in the cycle of lose-rebuild-lose. But that cycle, and a record filled with few wins, has made it frustrating...

For years, the Pittsburgh Pirates organization has had a reputation for being cheap: unable or unwilling to spend to make its on-field product better. But as the Tampa Bay Rays, another team accused of skimping on player salaries in the past, competes in the World Series against the Los Angeles...

In 1979, Jimmy Carter was president of the United States. A meltdown at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant outside Harrisburg held the nation’s attention. And 63 Americans were taken hostage in the U.S. Embassy in Iran. It also was the year the Pittsburgh Pirates won their last world...

As a consistently registered independent since 1967, it is extremely disheartening to witness how we have permitted the deterioration of our government and legal system. This is, arguably, one of the lowest periods in our country’s development: deceit, lies, fraud, illegal actions, etc. All talk show hosts and radio/ TV...

Apparently, the Republican Party: • Detests democracy, for in states where it controls the legislature (including Pennsylvania), it is considering voiding allocation of Electoral College votes according to the popular vote so instead to disenfranchise voters so that the legislature alone can select electors (as reported by Barton Gellman in...

I was so sad to read of our lieutenant govenor’s wife, Gisele Fetterman, being verbally accosted while merely shopping (Oct. 12, TribLIVE). No one should be treated that badly. We in the Pittsburgh area especially appreciate how she and her husband John have worked hard to help those in need....

Peter, Paul & Mary had a hit with “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” in 1962. Today a new hit song might be “Where Have All the Adults Gone?” I have exercised my right to vote since I was 18. I knew the date of the election and voted, and...

Don’t they say “never talk about religion or politics”? That adage has been around since before our Civil War, but shouldn’t it rather be the reverse ― that we should talk about politics? This has been a busy season for talking about all those things that go along with governing...

Cocktails are having a moment, and because of the pandemic, that moment is happening most often at home. Many restaurants have responded with cocktails to go, approved in more than 30 states, according to the Distilled Spirits Council, an industry trade group. Liquor stores offer cocktails-in-a-can, like those from Canteen...

Gallery walls, also called moment walls, are one of today’s hottest home decor trends. Gallery walls enable homeowners to create visually appealing groupings of photos, frames, wall art, and much more to dress up any room in the house. Gallery walls can make a statement in the living room, add...

It isn’t quite pizza. But it sort of is. Flatbread is pizza’s flamboyant cousin. There is a strong DNA connection, and they often look alike. But there is a difference, and after considerable thought and reflection I think I have determined what it is: tomato sauce. Pizza has it. Flatbread...

Even though Halloween may look a little different this year for many families, there are still ways to make the most of popular seasonal traditions, like costumes, spooky decor and festive treats.
