Andreas Kluth: If Prigozhin is gone, long live Putin — and Wagner?
Yevgeny Prigozhin might have retired in peace some day. Or he could have been found writhing in the throes of Novichok, a nerve agent favored by Russia’s spy agencies. He might also have fallen out of a window, crashed in his car or slipped in his bathroom — like so...

Letter to the editor: PennDOT’s emissions nonsense
OK, here’s a little more government nonsense for ya. It seems only 25 of 67 counties in Pennsylvania have to have emissions testing on their vehicles. This is a problem. Either make the same requirement for every county or eliminate it for the others. In addition, now PennDOT is changing...

Why we should continue to help Ukraine The writer of the letter “We’ve helped Ukraine enough” (Aug. 11, TribLIVE) states that although he feels sorry for Ukraine, we should stop aiding that nation because it just costs too much. He doesn’t seem to care that the consequences of such action...
Letter to the editor: What has Trump done for you?
The letter ”Trump doesn’t stand a chance in DC” (Aug. 8, TribLIVE) could make a rat gag. It’s a shame what Donald J. Trump has done in his life and as president and while rerunning for president. Working people pay most of the taxes while the very rich and companies...

Letter to the editor: Trump is the antidote
To quote two famous Americans: Pogo — “We have met the enemy and he is us”; and FDR — “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” The enemy is those who don’t vote, or those who vote strictly along party lines. This combination of apathy and laziness...
