From time to time, especially when I read wire copy from the Associated Press, I think about letting my Tribune-­Review subscription lapse. Their motto should be “All the news the Deep State sees fit to print.” Then I read an article by one of your excellent staff journalists and pay...

I believe the recent reorganization of the Gilpin Township Board of Supervisors was not a decision based on qualifications or leadership ability but rather personal bias and private conversations held outside of public meetings. I was not reelected as chairman, a position I’ve held for six years while serving on...

U.S. Sen. John Fetterman is seldom shy about making his feelings known. Whether he is walking the halls of the Russell Senate Office Building in his signature hoodie-and-shorts ensemble or dropping a zinger on social media, Fetterman is unapologetically himself. In a Washington full of blue-suited, red-tied carbon copies who...

Since it’s traditional to make New Year’s resolutions, here are a few of mine: 1. I’ll try to eat more meat. Animal protein is the most complete type of protein, providing all of the essential amino acids and fats for a healthy body. That’s why we have incisors and canines,...

President-elect Donald Trump is correct in wanting to stall the decision to ban TikTok from appearing before the Supreme Court. Such a delay reinforces the position of diplomacy or peace through strategy. The American public can perceive this as a strategic maneuver — not a change of position on the...

Many see his asking the Supreme Court to pause the looming TikTok ban to allow his administration to pursue a political resolution as another example of his fearlessness. As someone who has long championed free speech and individual liberties, I...

MIAMI — Penn State’s postgame locker room was — aside from an expletive or two — silent. The Nittany Lions were less than an hour removed from losing to Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff semifinal. There were hugs. There were tears. Standing off to the side was Penn...

“Panama Canal, Greenland in Trump’s sight” was the chilling headline on your Jan. 8 front page (“Trump won’t rule out use of military force to take control of Greenland and the Panama Canal,” Jan. 7, TribLive). Adolf Hitler’s similar ambition for territorial expansion in pursuit of “living space” commenced with...

Grateful for the Steelers A multitude of insults have been thrown at Mike Tomlin disagreeing with his tactics while coaching the Pittsburgh Steelers. It’s a good thing Tomlin seems to be thick-skinned and can blow all the criticisms off. I’m not a Pennsylvanian, although I live here due to circumstances...

It is unfortunate that the writer of the letter “Sheriff’s divisive letter tarnishes office” (Dec. 20, TribLive) felt that my letter “Keeping Westmoreland County safe” (Dec. 10, TribLive) was divisive. It was based on facts. A Gallup poll released Dec. 8, based on a six-year study, indicated the following: •...

A message to John Fetterman: Donald Trump, a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist, is poised to lead the nation, but you and the Democratic leadership have failed to speak out as a unified opposition.
