COMMENTARY: Never trust a politician | Jefferson City News-Tribune (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The woman in the grocery store checkout line had an accent. While we waited for our items to be rung up, I asked her where she was from. "Is the inflation rate in Argentina under 100 percent yet?" I asked. She smiled, "That's what the politicians say, but I never trust a politician." I laughed. What a wise woman, I thought. That sentiment is getting around. I immediately thought of the American politicians who defended former representative and former candidate for California governor, Eric Swal
COMMENTARY: Back to school 2026-27 | Jefferson City News-Tribune (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I attended a much different public school in suburban Maryland, there was a public service announcement on TV that asked: "It's 10 o'clock. Do you know where your children are?" I was usually in bed at that hour on "school nights," but that question might be put a different way today: "It's 9 a.m. Do you know what your children are being taught?"

COMMENTARY: A special golden anniversary | Jefferson City News-Tribune (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Golden anniversaries used to be special celebrations in the days when people got married and stayed married.

COMMENTARY: Summertime political reruns | Jefferson City News-Tribune (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I was younger, so much younger than today (credit The Beatles for that lyric from "Help"), television networks would rerun programs that had originally been broadcast the previous fall and spring. A few still do, like "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy," but those are syndicated shows. Still, it can be fun to watch programs you missed, or even ones you have seen, especially if you can impress someone with "Jeopardy" answers because you know them. Reruns that always annoy are the political ads
COMMENTARY: The Fauci diary | Jefferson City News-Tribune (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We are born with an ego -- from a baby's first cry to our death. Most can control their ego, protecting themselves and others from harm. Some give it free reign, causing the fallout to be substantial. History is full of people who let their ego get the best of them. Dr. Anthony Fauci, who rose to international fame during the Covid-19 pandemic, fed his ego, causing great harm to others. Thanks to Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul, we can now read the diary Fauci compiled during that stressfu
