The state Senate unanimously has passed a bill that would help to heal some of the damage caused by Rep. Tom Marino's bill diminishing the ability of the Drug Enforcement Administration to reduce the flow of powerful prescription opioid painkillers onto the black market. Marino, the 10th Congressional District Republican from Lycoming County, withdrew from consideration to be the national "drug czar" last week.
Empty voting booths are seen at the Sandy City Hall polling location on Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2017. Consequently, there is a great advantage in getting the perspective of many people in finding solutions.
In my earlier analysis of the latest dossier/collusion developments -- which have taken an abrupt turn in the last week, to the dismay of many liberals -- I wrote that newly-revealed and -confirmed details raise serious and uncomfortable questions for both the Democratic Party and the FBI. In a house editorial published today, the Wall Street Journal's editors explicate several of those questions that demand a full accounting.
On October 26th, 1881, the "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral" took place in Tombstone, Arizona, as Wyatt Earp, his two brothers and "Doc" Holliday confronted Ike Clanton's gang. Three members of Clanton's gang were killed; Earp's brothers and Holliday were wounded.
America has two political parties, but only one of them has a reasonably coherent political vision, a leadership that isn't under the thumb of an erratic reality television star, and a worldview that implies a policy agenda rather than just a litany of grievances. Unfortunately for the Democrats, their vision and leaders and agenda also sometimes leave the impression that they never want to win another tossup Senate seat and that they would prefer Donald Trump be re-elected if the alternative requires wooing Americans who voted for him.
In response to Reg Murphy's Oct. 21 column regarding Russian collusion in our election, I respectfully disagree with his assertions. Donald Trump was not elected by, or because of the Russians.
The breakfasters at Bob and Edith's Diner are too preoccupied with their tasty bacon and eggs to notice the Democratic gubernatorial candidate. Or perhaps, like all Americans who are more sensitive than oysters, they are in the throes of political exhaustion and are trying to ignore this year's only competitive gubernatorial race.
Down through our political history, it has been decidedly rare for former presidents to re-enter the fray and comment on the performance of their successors. For example, despite constant blame-game references to his record in the White House by Barack Obama, George W. Bush maintained a dignified silence.
In her dissent in the 1983 case Akron v. Akron Center for Reproductive Health, former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote, "The Roe framework ... is clearly on a collision course with itself."
President Trump has decided to repeal President Obama's Clean Power Plan, which focused on phasing out coal-powered electricity generation. He has the authority to do that, since the Clean Power Plan was an act of a president, not Congress.
Since retired Gen. John Kelly became White House chief of staff, news outlets have portrayed him as the disciplinarian sent to impose order over an unruly President Donald Trump.
As a response to President Donald Trump about the problems and dangers to American citizens that sanctuary cities presented, the Democratic leadership, endorsed by Gov. Jerry Brown, passed a new law making California itself a sanctuary state. Prior to this new law, there were some 35 cities across California that were identified as sanctuary cities, although several of those cities subsequently disputed that label.
In other words, if you're hired to get something done, by all means take credit for it if it happens, even if you had nothing to do with it. Another version of the same principle is Ferris Buellerism.

Kevin Hassett evidently has not received the memo that economics is "the dismal science." The ebullient chairman of the president's Council of Economic Advisers is relishing the intellectual feast of applying to policymaking the predictive tools of a science that was blindsided by the Great Recession.
Two prominent Republicans last week warned that the United States is embracing division over unity and cruelty over idealism. The citizens and leaders of this great nation should take heed.
Among many conservatives, there's a reflexive assumption that reducing the size of government is always a good thing. This is why politicians like Gov. Sam Brownback often declare their fervent opposition to "big government" and boast about their attempts to reduce spending, cull the number of state employees, etc.
