While this possibility might seem absurd to some Pennsylvanians, state law does not currently offer protection from this form of...

Where do we find God in times of despair, distress and disillusionment? Where do we find God when our prayers seem to fall on deaf ears? We find God in the people around us … our family, friends and even those strangers who share a shoulder to cry on, a...

Government pays for a lot of things people need. Roads. Courts. Schools. These are things that make a community function. They also pay for things people don’t exactly require but that make society better, such as playgrounds and libraries. Then there are the things that come in grayer shades. Philadelphia...

The writer of the letter “Harris’ climate plans a scam?” (Sept. 14, TribLive), as a doctor, should know better. Contrary to his statements, sea level is rising, and glaciers are melting. The climate is warming. He trots out that ridiculous right-wing talking point that when a cube of ice in...

The letter “Fracking not way of the future” (Sept. 10, TribLive) once again presents the claim that we must choose between natural gas and a clean environment.

Are Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump really the two best candidates for America’s most demanding and important job? Hardly. Trump tried to reverse the last election. And while Harris would be a reversion toward the mean — after an unfit Trump and an aging Joe Biden...
