Sam Stea Cogan Station Trump’s famous words. Along with “Regime change.” But I think he’s talking not about Iran but America He’s going to monkey with the legality of the midterm elections to try to stay in power He may use the Iran War to justify martial law here at home. All he needs is for enough people to hope these don’t happen and stay quiet if they do. Raise your voices. Our great Republic is in peril.
Somewhere in Los Angeles this year, someone will get home who otherwise wouldn’t have. You’ll never learn her name. There will be no headline, no celebration, no council resolution — only an unremarkable Tuesday that ends the way Tuesdays are supposed to end. The same nonstory will eventually play out in more than a dozen other metro areas where autonomous vehicles will serve as cabs. Last year, 36,640 Americans died in traffic crashes. That was the fewest since 2019, yet it still works out to more than 100 fatalities per day. The new generation of vehicles quietly accumulating ...

Our choice is brutal and simple: we either live according to a shared view of reality, or we be ruled by imposed, manufactured “alternative facts.” George Orwell ...

Thanks to the dedicated teamwork in Congress, our family recently received a flag flown on the Capitol, an official proclamation and a statement honoring Dr. Jacob Schneider and a grave plaque. Most moving of all, Congresswoman Tenney stood on the House floor to read my father’s legacy into the permanent ...
Dear Annie: My husband and I have one daughter, and family has always been important to us. She has several cousins around her age, and we’ve always hoped they would grow up close. Over the years, we’ve been the ones reaching out to make plans, but the effort is rarely reciprocated. I don’t believe anyone is intentionally trying to hurt our daughter.
