Around each Sept. 11 for 19 years, I’ve felt a flood of emotions — anger that terrorists attacked our country, grief at the enormous loss of innocent life, and gratitude for the courage and grit of Americans who responded to the attacks that day and defended our nation in the years since.
Like many industries, nursing homes are facing a shortage of workers. It could be one of the biggest problems facing the country that seems to get little attention. It might be in part because nobody likes to think of being old, frail and in need of care.
Benjamin Franklin was right about death and taxes, but new taxes only become inevitable when a Democrat is elected president, and here we are.
Something that has been discussed for at least 10 years is finally going to happen — the merger of the Madison County dispatch services with Norfolk dispatch services. Madison County is the last county of its size to have two dispatch centers. And with the cost to operate 911 dispatch center…
It’s been my pleasure over the years to extol the virtues of leaders who made this country the envy of the world — establishing a free republic that gave its citizens an opportunity to pursue their dreams absent oppressive governmental intrusion.
Among other ramifications of the recent tragedy in Afghanistan has been the realization that America’s standing in the world has suffered greatly.
As President Joe Biden attempted desperately to distract from his ongoing surrender in Afghanistan and the attendant chaos in its wake, the White House turned its eyes once again to the issue of COVID-19.

A Daily News reader struck up a conversation with a reporter at the recent Norfolk Beef Expo, praising the Daily News for its expansive local news coverage while lamenting the fact that his hometown newspaper in South Dakota rarely had any local news.
In November 2009, the late Charles Krauthammer gave a seminal speech, titled “Decline Is a Choice.” In it, Krauthammer stated, “The question of whether America is in decline cannot be answered yes or no. There is no yes or no ... Nothing is inevitable. Nothing is written. For America today, …
Responding to Democrats in her party who are troubled by the massive $3.5 trillion spending bill that would forever transform America into a debtor nation, Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked a question: “Where would you cut?”
