Walking my dog Dorothy a few months ago I didn’t recognize the fellow waving from the white car until he stopped to say hello. Turns out it was Ed, a casual acquaintance, whose wave I hadn’t acknowledged because I couldn’t see him through the tinted glass.

Larry Meads’ letter of March 28 is typical of the left’s attacks on President Donald Trump.

Oh, Michael Reagan. He just can’t help himself, can he?

Got something on your mind? Tell us about it in 40 words or less.

Congress passed and the president signed a $2 trillion “stimulus” bill.

John Stossel’s column of March 27 was so bizarre. The reason South Korea handled the virus so well was simply the fact that the government was prepared for it with strict containment measures early on and stockpiling of supplies. Healthcare professionals made recommendations that were heeded by the government leaders who then took action.

I was just reading an article in which a group of epidemiologists from around the world claim that this pandemic seems to be being transferred in clusters (family groups, senior care homes, work colleagues) more than in any other way.
