Even on the La Roche men’s basketball roster, the sophomore is identified as Jefferson “Boogie” Moorefield-Brown Jr. But during his first...

Coaches don’t believe in moral victories, but Chris Klimchock of the Pitt-Greensburg men’s basketball team might be convinced otherwise. Two weeks ago, the Bobcats played at Robert Morris in an exhibition game and hung with the Division I Colonials for a half. UPG trailed by only six at the break...

It is good that “The American Revolution,” a series by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt, premiered on PBS the week before Thanksgiving. It is good to be reminded of the sacrifices that were made to form this nation. Among the many lessons from the series, two are especially...

This week, President Donald Trump threatened my life because he did not like the constitutional truths I spoke.

CHATSWORTH, Ga. — U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene built her career as one of Donald Trump’s fiercest defenders.
