GUEST COLUMN, Dick Morris    The anonymous whistleblower who has upended Washington and seeks to bring down a president admits that he has no first-hand knowledge of the dealings between President Donald Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky. He or she says that the...

GUEST COLUMN, Larry Phillips, Kismet   As I sat down Monday afternoon to write this opinion column, I was overwhelmed at the parallels of Trump’s Russia witch hunt and Brett Kavanaugh’s Blasey-Ford witch hunt. Both were conjured up by the progressive leftists in the Socialist-Democratic...

MY PERSPECTIVE, Gary Damron   This week has been a whirlwind – loading a rental truck, saying good-bye to dear friends, and welcoming two sons who helped unload our truck. The next morning, through some amazing circumstances, we ran into a couple we’d met in college more than fifty years...
