Letter to the editor: 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 would throw Ukraine to the Russian bear...

Penn State football names 6 team captains

Much was made of Penn State’s youth movement last year, and rightfully so. Nick Singleton, Abdul Carter and the 2022 recruiting class played a major role in the Nittany Lions’ 11-win campaign. But Penn State also was buoyed by veteran leadership. Sean Clifford and Jonathan Sutherland were fourth-year captains. Ji’Ayir...
Britney Spears breaks silence on Sam Asghari divorce: ‘Couldn’t take the pain anymore’

Britney Spears has finally broken her silence on her split from Sam Asghari, who filed for divorce from the popstar earlier this week. The “Stronger” singer, 41, took to Instagram Friday with a suggestive dance video and a heartfelt caption to shed some light on the couple’s breakup. “As everyone...
John Tamny: The term limits movement is alive and politically potent

The power of incumbency in politics used to be near absolute at the congressional level. Once elected, the job was, in a sense, yours for life. That was true until 1994. It was then that House Speaker Tom Foley was put out to the political pasture. This was earthshaking news...
Point: Do presidential debates still matter?

What nominee would bet on the proposition that the presidential debates don’t matter and then choose not to prepare? Jimmy Carter’s desultory prep in 1980, combined with Ronald Reagan’s reassuring and masterful performance — “There you go again” — arguably turned a close election into a landslide that reshaped American...
Counterpoint: Rethinking the significance of presidential debates

Televised presidential debates during the general election are viewed as the ultimate candidate showcase. They give voters the opportunity to watch competing worldviews and policy positions clash on America’s most significant political stage. Viewers get to test their assumptions about the candidates in real time. Voters want to know how...
Success, death of teammate have reawakened passion for football at Monessen

Monessen’s T.J. Taylor is only a sophomore. But he talks like a senior. He acts like a senior. He is one of the players who has taken it upon himself to make sure teammates are attending workouts and weightlifting sessions. “This year, I’m noticing it doesn’t matter what class you’re...
Letter to the editor: Soldiers should never be left behind

Bravo to the writer of the letter “Leaving soldiers behind is un-American” (Aug. 11, TribLIVE). This letter should be endorsed by every American and a copy sent to every Congress member, as well as Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. As I realize that would probably not be possible, please, everyone,...
Sounding off: Shapiro’s actions, new Hempfield school, Trump among week’s topics

Shapiro anti-choice? I thought Gov. Josh Shapiro was for women’s choice and reproductive health? His decision to end the contract with Real Alternatives will harm tens of thousands of women and children who depend on the help they receive. A new study published in the journal Cureus found that two-thirds...
Letter to the editor: Weiss as special counsel is an insult

I think giving David Weiss a special counsel designation in the Hunter Biden case is an insult to the legal system. Weiss has already let the statute of limitations on Biden’s felonies expire and pushed for a sweetheart deal for him. I think Weiss should instead be disbarred for helping...

The Willie Thrower Award trophy made its way to Pittsburgh Steelers training camp this week. The trophy is awarded annually to the top quarterback from WPIAL and City League schools.

Letter to the editor: Beware Moms for Liberty

The group “Moms for Liberty” is anything but. This organization has been judged a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. They are waging a full-fledged war against students’ First Amendment rights to access books based on race, gender identity, ethnicity and religion. They are pushing to rewrite the...
Editorial: Proposed U.S. Steel buyout could be next chapter of Pittsburgh history

The history of the steel industry in America can’t be written without Southwestern Pennsylvania. Sure, iron was mined and smelted before Andrew Carnegie built his first mill here in 1875. It was even made in Pittsburgh, the intersection of ore to craft, coal to burn and the rivers for transportation....
