Letter to the Editor: Political parties clash: College campuses seem to be majority liberal, leaving conservative ideas in the shadows
April 17, 2018
I see that some intolerant liberal students are going to protest the upcoming appearance of conservative speaker Christina Hoff Sommers. Yet, another example of intolerant political correctness run amok. (We can't have too much political diversity!) Trump handily beat Clinton in part because a lot o...
Letter to the Editor: Trump The Terrible

We must work with China on resolving this situation, and also on the Chinese encroachment in the South China Sea and the trade defici...
Rebuilding our Military with Trump
