Nicholas Kristof: Lies in the guise of news in the Trump era

If you get your news from this newspaper or our rival mainstream news sources, there's probably a lot you don't know. You may not realize that our Kenyan-born Muslim president was plotting to serve a third term as our illegitimate president, by allowing Hillary Clinton to win and then indicting her; Pope Francis' endorsement of Donald Trump helped avert the election-rigging.

Permafrost shrinks as warming climate accelerates pace of change

The man he selected to lead the transition for the Environmental Protection Agency and shape climate policy for the next administration is like-minded. Trump adviser Myron Ebell, trained in philosophy and politics, has spent his career trying to create political uncertainty about the scientific consensus on climate change and preserve the status quo for the fossil fuel industry.

Hot Button: Readers reveal what they want to see from Trump in his first 100 days

President Barack Obama met with President-elect Donald Trump in the White House on Nov. 10. On Sunday, we asked another Hot Button question: What do you want Donald Trump to do within the first 100 days of his presidency? REFORM GUN LAWS: I would like President Donald Trump to enact some reforms on our federal gun laws, such as enacting national concealed carry reciprocity; signing the Hearing Protection Act; removing importation bans on various firearms; stacking the Supreme Court with pro-gun justices; repealing the Hughes Amendment; and ensuring that modern sporting rifles and standard capacity magazines cannot be banned by individual states such as in California or New York.

In March, I was driving along a road that led from Dayton, Ohio, into its formerly middle-class, now decidedly working-class southwestern suburbs, when I came upon an arresting sight. I was looking for a professional sign-maker who had turned his West Carrollton ranch house into a distribution point for Trump yard signs, in high demand just days prior to the Ohio Republican primary.

Voice of the people: William Hairston

The Slim Smith column of Wednesday, "The Dawn of American Fascism?" offered a timely warning of what our future as a nation may be, and that is the way it should be read. My biggest criticism is the analogy to Hitler which I thought was overdrawn.

Perspective: Put REINS on excessive regulations

Over the last few years, I have heard time and time again about the new rules and regulations that are being piled on the backs of our nation's small businesses and their hard working employees.
