Mindless

I saw scenes from a Trump rally. I'm sad the thought processes of so many Americans are governed by emotion rather than intelligence and depth of thought.

An old story

It's very clear that L-E writer Stephanie Pedersen needs to read "The Triumph and Tragedy of Phenix City Alabama" to get a better understanding of how Phenix City has always been run.

Leonard Pitts’ column on Sunday was the best and most sensible that he’s written.
