Plus, she has already… Read story

On a slow afternoon recently I cranked up the internet to look at a place in Greenland, well north of the Arctic Circle, where I spent three weeks in the 1970s, courtesy of Uncle Sam. I noted that the ice cap is a lot farther from the base now. Read story

Letter: Walk signal is too short

However I question a statement that was included in the article (“Vancouver police to roll out body cams starting Monday,” The Columbian, Feb. 17). Read story

Letter: Repeal Bush, Trump tax cuts

February 25, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

A brief review of 20th and 21st century national debt history shows that President Bill Clinton in the 1990s, with Republican help, had America on a path to eliminate our debt, but Republicans wouldn’t accept no debt and reversed course. Read story

Letter: Democracy has been lost

February 24, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Letter: Republicans take voters for fools

February 24, 2023, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Nikki Haley had Matt Hagee of the Cornerstone Church give the invocation at her rally the day after her announcement of a presidential run.
