Throughout the Trump-Russia investigation, the core question - the question that mattered above all others - was whether President Trump or his associates colluded with Russia to try to influence the 2016 election. If there were proof of that, the effect on Trump's presidency would have been devastating, and possibly fatal.
This is the best of times and the worst of times. This is a time for heroes. Heroes tell the truth even though they may meet opposition, loss of job, even death.
President Trump's seeming promotion of autocracy over democracy and his egocentric “Whatever Donald Wants, Donald Gets” approach to governing is surely taking our country and all of its citizenry down a dark and frightening path. There are so many examples of incompetence, belligerence, self-promotion, and total disregard of the Constitution and the welfare of the constituency he serves - the American people - that it is hard to determine which are his most egregious and damaging acts.
As I write this, I can hear all of the liberal media establishment along with all of the Democrat Party and some lackluster Republicans shouting with joy that a special counsel has been named to investigate this supposed “Russian collusion with the Trump administration.” Former FBI Director Robert Mueller has been tapped by the deputy assistant attorney general to run this investigation, and it is hoped by one and all that a thorough and a quick investigation will ensue.  Even if this investigation takes several months, many areas will be looked into concerning anyone who may have had any dealings with, or access to or was in collusion with the Russian government.
If I were the president and I were to submit a budget to Congress, I would make sure that all the parts of that budget fit a consistent theme. The federal government is a very large operation with many component parts, and sometimes coming up with a coherent theme is impossible.
We all know the story about Pinocchio and how his nose grew every time he told a lie. And we tell our children and our grandchildren, as we were told when we were young, about George Washington, and how he would never tell a lie.
The city of Foster City is confronted with upgrading sections of the levee to bring the current structure into Federal Emergency Management Agency compliance. The claim by FEMA is that a change in the sea wall or levee height is necessary to protect the ciA ty from flooding from future speculated storm surges.
Does Saudi speech show better or worse side of Trump? #tellusatoday During a speech in Saudi Arabia, President Trump encouraged Muslim nations to fight "Islamic extremism." Check out this story on USATODAY.com: https://usat.ly/2qJF4CD The Saudis and other world leaders have Trump's number.
Yet another impeachable offense Column by Dick Polman Check out this story on jacksonsun.com: Forgive my frequent references to Richard Nixon. It's just eerie how his impeachable behavior is being replicated by the current con man.
Hassan Rouhani has won re-election as Iran's president in a landslide, meaning that it is he who will be dealing with an antagonistic US President Donald Trump. What will their relationship mean for the 2015 international agreement that has, for now, frozen Iran's nuclear ambitions? The Iranian nuclear deal was the culmination of a decades-long pas de deux between the United States and post-revolutionary Iran - a push and pull, in which every step forward was seemingly followed by a step back.
Today, at 116 years young, we have achieved national recognition for our leadership and academic excellence in the fields of education, nutrition, the arts and sciences, and, especially, in the nursing and health care professions. But Texas Woman's University's work is not yet done.
In the aftermath of Donald Trump's election to the presidency last November, people who apparently are willing to say anything out loud if it will get them 30 seconds of face-time on cable TV were predicting massive voter backlash at the polls beginning with the 2017 "off year" election. Primary Election Day 2017 has come and gone in Pennsylvania and most if not all of the manifestations of "politics as usual" are still standing.
There's no real story there. The so-called "off-year" primary was the down stroke of the four-year election cycle, an election where only the most hardcore voters showed up.
As Donald Trump takes a break from his domestic troubles to play the travelling statesman, it's worth asking what his presidency teaches us about the United States and its politics. He teaches us that Americans aren't a puritanical people.
Our long-time senator, Orrin Hatch, during his recent trip to Utah, complained about people on the dole and not getting off once they are on government handouts. This illustrious senator has been on the government payroll for 40 years-plus and has the gall to even mention others.
They think tourism and hospitality sectors have more power. Really? So tourism and hospitality own the state Legislature to produce Utah's ridiculous liquor laws? Again, really? Sen. Orrin Hatch thinks everyone on the Affordable Care Act is a freeloader. I'm on it and I am not a freeloader.
Native American voices in San Juan County are seldom heard by Utah's elected officials. Reportedly, everyone agrees that protection and co-management are necessary for Bears Ears.
