DAs failing badly

There is a destructive crime and justice trend afoot that clearly endangers public safety. No, it is not the actions of violent protestors and riotous thugs. It is the deliberate inaction of district attorneys who are refusing to prosecute violations of law. Mike Schmidt, the DA in riot-scarred Portland, Oregon, announced he’s dropping charges against hundreds of protestors arrested for criminal trespass, disorderly conduct or interfering with a law enforcement officer. He won’t prosecute those arrested for rioting either, unless there’s some serious additional crime, such as ...

Dear Annie

Dear Annie: My boyfriend follows more than 3,000 people on Instagram. And almost all of them are women. It didn’t bother me when we first started dating, because I figured that now that he had a girlfriend, he’d stop investing so much time in looking at women. A few months into our relationship, he was showing me something on his profile when I caught a glimpse of a notification indicating that he had commented on a girl’s photo. I asked him about it.

Paul Kengor is a professor of political science at Grove City College in Grove City, Pennsylvania. He has just published “The Devil and Karl Marx,” a careful look at the diabolical side of Karl Marx. The book has come out during an important time in our history since so many Americans, particularly our youth, have fallen for the seductive siren song of socialism taught to them by the academic elite. “The Black Book of Communism,” edited by Stephane Courtois details the Marxist-Leninist death toll in the 20th century. Here is the breakdown: USSR, 20 million deaths; China, 65 ...

Dear Annie

Dear Annie: My husband and I are 77 years old. Our lake home has four bedrooms and plenty of space for family visits. During the summer, the family knows they have to make “reservations” to visit. Sometimes, we will have seven immediate family members here, and once we had 18 nephews and nieces and their families. They have use of our boats and always replace the gas they used. We feel fortunate that we can allow them to have a family vacation that is relatively inexpensive for them. Many have thanked us for the memories they have made over the past 20 years. However, we plan ...

Daily Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your mind will pose questions all day and this continues into the night. Your dreams have answers, but you’ll have to remember them first.

New dances and sports can be learned and so can new thought ...
