It’s no secret: Penn State has long been trying to find another difference-maker at wide receiver via the transfer portal.

As we quickly approach the 100-day mark of the second Donald Trump presidency, let us look at what has happened. A lawless authoritarian blitz is a good summary. Maybe a MAGA mess? Let’s review some of the lowlights by checking in on some predictions and questions I asked after Trump’s...
Family of Pennsylvania arson suspect says pleas for help went unanswered before alleged attack on governor

PHILADELPHIA — Cody Balmer was begging to go to jail. Less than an hour after police say he set fire to Gov. Josh Shapiro’s mansion in the early morning of April 13, he called 911 to say he was ready to “confess to everything” he had done. “He needs to...
Letter to the editor: In praise of Mark Madden

I just finished reading another one of Mark Madden’s excellent columns. His analysis and comments are so refreshing because he above all really tells it like it is. He’s insightful, brutally honest and spot-on correct. Add to that he’s also hilariously funny! He’s worth the price of the whole paper...
Letter to the editor: Do Democrats want to destroy our country?

After years of observation, I am of the personal opinion that the goal of Democrats is to destroy our country. Their only message is to fight President Trump, fight MAGA, fight DOGE, fight Republicans and hate, hate, hate. But what are they fighting for exactly? What do they hate? Protecting...

By now, we all know some folks will never let facts get in the way of a perfectly dramatic political meltdown — as seen in the letter “Norwin nearing bond debt limit” (April 15, TribLive). Let’s get real: Norwin is not bankrupt. It’s not maxing out its debt. And no...

Letter to the editor: Economic hardship ahead

Hard to believe the writer of the letter “Liberals using scare tactics on tariffs” (April 18, TribLive) would ask if things could ever get worse under President Trump than President Biden.
