Your editorial “5 years after covid, scars linger” (March 13, TribLive) was (almost) right on target. I will give two examples. 1. My grandmother, born in 1898, had the 1918 Spanish flu but survived. On Thanksgiving morning 1974, she woke up with the strangest cough. I was home visiting my...

It cost $1.50 in advance to see Elvis Presley in 1956; $5.90 to see the Beatles in 1964; $17 to see Nirvana in 1993 (and Kurt Cobain was shocked that artists would charge $50 at the time). Even adjusted for inflation, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI...

The auto industry is more than just the business of building cars and trucks. It is the business of selling them. It is also everyone who buys them.

Slavery may have been a footnote in the news, but in the last election, Nevada voted to end slavery as a punishment for a crime in its constitution. “What? I thought slavery was abolished a long time ago,” you might say. Practically, yes — there are laws against all forms...

After beating Hartford a week ago in the team’s 2025 home opener, Pittsburgh Riverhounds coach Bob Lilley said his goal scorers needed to finish better when on the attack. It seems that a week of messaging paid off for Lilley and his starting 11, as they dominated play from the...

President Donald Trump’s administration quietly deleted the first federal police misconduct database — a critical tool created to prevent federal law enforcement officers with histories of serious misconduct from being rehired by other agencies. This reckless decision undermines accountability, weakens public trust and makes our communities less safe. Ironically, it...

It didn’t take long for Camdyn Anderson to reel in an impressive trout Saturday on Mentored Youth Trout Day. Camdyn, 12, of Brackenridge caught the 22-inch Palomino trout in Bull Creek, near Outdoor Life Lodge at 8:04 a.m. — four minutes after the event started. The trout weighed 4.1 pounds...

The Pittsburgh Penguins’ 6-1 road loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday was one of their worst of the season. In fact, only two other defeats this season were by a wider goal margin. Through their first 73 games of the season, the Penguins have lost seven games by...

Earlier this month, Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward and Harrisburg Republicans sent a letter asking the Trump administration to shut down a Medicaid program designed to help new mothers, children and poor families. I previously served as the acting secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services and have...

“What’s in a name?” Shakespeare’s Juliet asks, making the point that what matters is a person’s essence, not what we call them. That’s true in love. In politics, not so much. People entering the U.S. at our southern border are now routinely called a name — migrant — that is...

The Fox Chapel baseball team won its first two nonsection games to start the season but was swept by Shaler last week in the opening series of the Section 3-5A schedule. On March 24, Luke Jarzynka and Max Saban each went 2 for 4 with three RBIs as Shaler beat...

Trump is not the bad guy in Ukraine-Russia war In 1994, the U.S., U.K., Ukraine and Russia signed a nonproliferation treaty. Nuclear weapons were removed from Ukraine and sent to Russia. Why did President Clinton let Russia have the weapons? In 2014, Russia invaded Crimea. President Obama and his foreign...

I was always under the impression the main role of a university was to educate our young people. I am not so sure that is the case at Penn State. Case in point: Head football coach James Franklin is paid $8.5 million per season. The defensive coordinator is paid $3...

Regarding the editorial “Political attacks are shameful slides to gateway violence” (March 19, TribLive): Thanks for addressing this issue. I believe the beginning of people expressing their opinions in a more aggressive or violent way came about during the 2016 presidential campaigns. Donald Trump would hold rallies to heat up...

Yes, let’s make America great again! Let’s cut the air traffic controllers at the start of the vacation season! Let’s cut Department of Veterans Affairs, since veterans only served our country and fought for our freedom! Let’s say we will end the war in one day — but don’t actually...

In 1994, the U.S., U.K., Ukraine and Russia signed a nonproliferation treaty. Nuclear weapons were removed from Ukraine and sent to Russia. Why did President Bill Clinton let Russia have the weapons?
