I was very interested by the ideas in the op-ed “It’s time to make it easier to vote in the birthplace of democracy” (March 6, TribLive). I work in communities where people struggle to make ends meet, and many of them work long hours, often at multiple jobs just to...

Happy Easter. Today, as you prepare to go to church or visit family or make dinner, let’s take a moment to think about the value of tradition. These are the customs that connect us to our past. The ham on your table may be more than a main dish. It...

We entrust law enforcement to protect our communities, and that includes the voiceless members — our animals. Yet, all too often, animal cruelty and neglect cases are dismissed as minor inconveniences, leaving victims suffering and perpetrators unpunished. Taking animal cruelty seriously isn’t just about protecting animals; it’s about fostering safer...

No one enters the health and human services field for fame and prestige; all we want to do is help those in need. But it’s becoming more difficult to do so, especially when there’s no legislative support. Just ask anyone who works with the 500,000 Pennsylvanians with brain injury-related disabilities....

INDIANAPOLIS (Triple-A, 0-2) lost 4-3 to Louisville (Reds). RHP Paul Skenes made his first Triple-A start and pitched three perfect innings with five strikeouts. He hit 100 mph on the radar gun on 12 of the 46 pitches he threw. Veteran LHP Eric Lauer came on in relief and allowed...

There’s been some serious turnover in Sen. John Fetterman’s office, The Philadelphia Inquirer has learned. In the last month, all three of Fetterman’s top communications staffers have left Capitol Hill. Nick Gavio, who was deputy communications director, will leave the office at the end of March to take a new...

“Abstention” is a deceptively diplomatic word, implying some sort of bureaucratic omission. And yet the March 25 decision by the U.S. to abstain from casting its veto in the United Nations Security Council turned a page in history. For the first time since the terrorist attack by Hamas against Israel on...

The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore came as quite a shock. After a massive container ship struck one of the bridge’s pillars, the entire span quickly fell apart, costing several lives. It’s hard to overstate the bridge’s importance, particularly for the automobile industry. In addition to...

North Allegheny’s boys volleyball team is off to a strong start to the season in its quest to add to its WPIAL-leading total of district titles (22). The Tigers are ranked second in the latest Western Pa. Volleyball Coaches poll behind defending WPIAL champion Shaler, which ended North Allegheny’s run...

ROSEVILLE, Calif. By now Victoria Thompson has heard it many times. She’s crazy. She’s throwing her vote away. Worse, those who loathe Donald Trump say she’s helping the unscrupulous ex-president reclaim the White House — even though she’s never voted for him and never will — by refusing to back...

Founding Fathers not Christian nationalists Republican leader Marjorie Taylor Greene recently stated that “Our Founding Fathers would’ve been considered Christian Nationalists, and I agree with them!” Greene has embraced a trope of exclusion that is factually and historically wrong. While many of the Founding Fathers were religious, they did not...

Kane Brown loves the audience, and they love him right back. The crowd-pleasing pop country singer came to PPG Paints Arena on Friday night as part of his In The Air Tour. Brown started out as a social media sensation and has gone on to win CMT and AMA awards...

There seems to only be a handful of elected state officials who really understand what our “commonwealth” within our “republic” is about. Maybe it does not matter, since the “unelected” bureaucrats seem to be the ones running things. Our state is out of control with its support and “investments” in...

There are few things that really unite Pennsylvania. It’s a state that is both Democrat and Republican. It is rural and urban, chipped ham and cheesesteaks. It is Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and everything in between. If you can imagine an election in which Pennsylvania goes overwhelmingly in one direction or...

Much has been said about President Biden’s age, even though Donald Trump constantly gets things mixed up and can’t remember dates and names. I do not write for sympathy, because none is needed. True, seniors forget some dates, forget some names. But so what? That’s true of a lot of...
