The impacts of Putin’s bungled war in Ukraine have been severe and reach far beyond the borders of Eastern Europe.

Letter to the editor: As long it's party over people, gun reform won't happen
Here we go again: talks about gun reform. It would mean something if our lawmakers really cared about trying to make things better and doing the things that the people (taxpayers) want. Seems to me that all the do-nothing Republicans in the Senate want to do is go against anything...
Letter to the editor: Jesus never approved of abortion
I couldn’t help agreeing somewhat with letter-writer Dave Ninehouser’s declaration that Jesus, nowhere, specifically calls out the evil of abortion (“Jesus never preached about abortion,” May 20, TribLIVE). There are many words that are missing in the records as coming from the mouth of Jesus. But Jesus called abortion evil...

Editorial: Westmoreland commissioners did right delaying meeting but could have done better
Is 48 minutes a big deal? It is when it comes to the letter of the law. On Thursday, Westmoreland County commissioners started their public voting session at 1:30 p.m. as publicized on the county’s website. The problem? The agenda for the meeting was posted there at 2:18 p.m. Wednesday,...
Gun owners, onlookers split on what gun control proposals could accomplish
Reaction to proposed gun control laws shows that even some local gun owners appear just as divided about the effectiveness of such measures as the politicians debating them. Mass shootings over the past month in Buffalo, N.Y.; Uvalde, Texas; and Philadelphia have reignited the debate over gun laws. Although many...
Letter to the editor: Flawed reassessment system
