Letter to the editor: Abortion doesn’t belong in court system
I believe letter-writer Leo Nagorski’s statement that “most Americans favor keeping Roe exactly the way it is” is untrue (“Blame for the Roe v. Wade uproar,” May 24, TribLIVE). I’d be interested in his source. As for any uproar, the Supreme Court decision (if what we hear holds) will deny...

Letter to the editor: We must move forward from Trump
Kudos to William Hite’s letter “What’s a Trump endorsement worth?” (May 6, TribLIVE). Donald Trump and his family ran their private businesses while living at the White House at taxpayers’ expense. Since 2016, he’s promised to reveal his taxes but never did so. Obviously, he never intended to do so...

Veronique de Rugy: Corporations’ ‘woke’ signaling won’t override profit motive
Many people on the Right fear “woke capitalism” and the idea that corporate executives will bend to pressure to advance a vision of the world that replaces their values with progressive ones. To those who are worried, I say, be grateful for the profit motive. To the progressives pushing for...

In the top right hand drawer of my desk sits a small, worn, black book. At first glance it looks like a notebook or a daytimer from many years ago. On closer inspection, though, one can see that it is a pocket version of the New Testament. It may appear...

Editorial: Why can marijuana card companies advertise but doctors can’t?
When it comes to making health decisions, there are a lot of people bucking for seats at the table. The federal government wants its say.
