Point: Tim Walz wants policies to empower rural Americans
After rural voters turned out big for Donald Trump, a narrative emerged that rural America was made up of majority White communities who used to vote reliably Democratic but had shifted right. The emergence of Tim Walz and JD Vance in this election cycle offers a chance for a deeper...
Counterpoint: JD Vance speaks for rural America
Far too often, rural Americans feel ignored by presidential campaigns. While elites in Washington, New York and Los Angeles generate the headlines, focusing primarily on the two coasts, Americans outside major cities continue to fly under the radar. This needs to change, and the 2024 election could be the turning...
Letter to the editor: Losers and suckers
The boys who never made it off of the beaches of Iwo Jima and Omaha were losers and suckers. The 58,000-plus names etched on the Vietnam War Memorial wall were all losers and suckers. The five Army Rangers whose bodies were dragged through the streets of Mogadishu after their Blackhawk...

Letter to the editor: Father Monieau should be reinstated
It’s after Labor Day. Bishop Larry Kulick of the Greensburg diocese took hasty action days after Memorial Day. I believe Kulick chose to follow the faithless path instead of leading by Christian example. Kulick quickly condemned a humble servant of God, a hard-working, two-parish pastor and knowledgeable school administrator, our...
