Perspective on coronavirus: How does it stack up with the flu, historic outbreaks?Video

In House District 34, the council endorsed Chris Roland, the Democratic challenger to Democratic...
Peter Morici: Trump the moderate in 2020
Washington has a way of capturing presidents more than they conquer its bureaucracy — in current parlance, President Trump has become an alligator more than he has drained the swamp. Whether it’s Sanders, Warren, Klobuchar, Buttigieg, Bloomberg or Biden, the country will get a choice between a defender of the...
Drew Johnson: America shows how to fight climate change without regulation
Speaking at the United Nations in December, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi drew cheers by saying the United States was “still in” the Paris climate agreement.

Editorial: The right prescription for pandemic
Coronavirus has a lot to teach us. Or rather, the way the world has responded to it does. There are those who are overreacting and those who are underreacting. There are those in denial and those in overdrive. And then there are those who are controlling the message. We can...
Sounding off: Chill out; elections come every 4 years
An anticipated coronation turned out to be an election. The long-suffering palace princess was not chosen to lead the multitude into the promised land. A presidential election happens in the USA every four years, a process dreamed about in most other countries. I recently read an article that quoted the...
Letter to the editor: Candidate senators should have recused selves
In his letter “Common sense biggest loser in impeachment” (Feb. 9, TribLIVE), Glenn R.

Letter to the editor: Pelosi’s action no different than Trump’s
Apparently, some of you folks don’t actually read the news in this paper that you send your opinions to. If you did, you would realize that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s response to President Trump’s speech was no different than Trump “tearing up” the Constitution. He admitted to being guilty of...
Letter to the editor: Donald Trump & his adversaries
Time wounds all heals. I didn’t make a mistake with these words. The two-party system in America has been dysfunctional for decades. Nothing gets done in Washington. And it’s getting worse.
