Now that we are well into the month of December, my three teenage daughters have provided me with their extensive Christmas lists — both electronic and hard copies — in triplicate. Full of the typical objects of adolescent desires like designer clothing, electronics, jewelry, and luxury vehi…
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump released a video of himself standing behind a podium in the White House’s Diplomatic Room, where he delivered what he claimed was the “most important speech” of his presidency.
Batman needed the Joker. Javert needed Jean Valjean. Patton needed Rommel.

The arts have always been a vehicle for human expression, sometimes reflecting reality or perception, sometimes provoking and antagonistic, sometimes fantastical and . . . well . . . weird. The highest calling of the arts, however, is to show us a better way, to uphold truth, virtue, and bea…

Labor Day kicks off the final stretch toward the Election Day showdown between incumbent President Donald Trump and the Democratic challenger, former Vice President Joe Biden.
I am an only child, because my parents had me later in their lives (plus, they said a colicky baby was an effective form of birth control). Growing up, I spent a lot of time creating my own fun because there were few kids in my neighborhood and eventually they all moved away.
Because of COVID-19 fears, several Major League Baseball players opted out for 2020. Others remained active but have since gone on the Injured List with discomfort or tenderness in various limbs. Players and dinosaur fans from earlier eras rejected discomfort and tenderness as legitimate injuries.

The 2020 Major League Baseball season is, in a manner of speaking, underway. Fans who can overlook the cardboard cutouts that have replaced them in stadium seats, or tolerate the piped-in music and masked players will be fine. Those who can’t abide by the 60-game season’s new guidelines will…
I read with interest an op-ed article in the Enquirer-Journal about the Confederate monument that stands at the Union County Courthouse. The article was submitted by Jordan Britton. It states that Britton wants the monument in our Courthouse Square to be taken down. Britton starts his opinio…
