Holiday revelers are having little trouble finding live, musical and dramatic performances around the country this year.
Last Tuesday, Erick Tiegs, 16, returned home from the hospital. He was the final student discharged after being struck with an SUV while marching in Waukesha, Wisconsin’s annual Christmas parade last month.
If believing that we have no king in America but rather all authority rests in “we the people” makes me right-wing, I guess I’m guilty as charged.
As a candidate, Joe Biden promised Americans that he would bring about a swift end to the coronavirus pandemic.
One of my favorite findings about liberals — now called progressives — is that they always go too far.
The health of our citizenry has traditionally been a matter exclusively within the purview of the states.
Today there is some support for a policy of legal abortion before viability. Viability means the capability of an embryo or fetus to develop outside the uterus.
It is a sad fact that the heartless killing of the preborn will continue. Overturning Roe v. Wade will only return the decision about whether to criminalize or legalize abortion to the states. Some of them, anticipating the demise of Roe v. Wade, already have laws for one or the other outcome.
The Times is to be commended for highlighting the recent scientific proof that global coastlines are generally expanding despite dire warnings of sea-level rise caused by "climate change" ("Drowning in false alarmism," Web. Dec. 6).

In his Commentary piece, "Biden's 'no first use' strategy would dismantle nuclear deterrence" (Web, Nov. 29) Jed Babbin expresses concern that the nuclear posture review being prepared by the current administration might include a "no first use" policy. Mr. Babbin is correct that the change to such a policy would undermine our deterrence posture and completely undercut the extended deterrence on which our allies have depended for decades.
"Justice Department sues Texas, claiming redistricting maps are discriminatory" (Web, Dec. 6) reports the facts but not the truth regarding gerrymandering as it has existed in Virginia and likely also in Texas.
Michael McKenna is spot-on in "The business of college football and academic moral rot" (Web, Dec. 4). Mr. McKenna criticizes college football coaches who leave their positions in the middle of a season for higher-paying coaching positions at other schools.
