Kim’s sister warns North Korean army ready for action on South
The sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said it is “high time” to break relations with South Korean authorities, adding the next action against the “enemy” will come from the army.

Editorial: ‘Defunding’ the police is the wrong reform
There are obvious problems with the idea of defunding the police. The police are not a piece of questionable art in front of a courthouse that we can debate. They are not a pork barrel project to slice away. They aren’t a program that is there to benefit some people...

Letter to the editor: Trump derangement syndrome
The writer of the letter “Trump and responsibility of presidency” (May 30, TribLIVE) blasts the abilities and legacy of President Trump. Our Constitution allows for free speech.
