The physical celebrations of Juneteenth and Independence Day have come and gone; however, the attacks on freedom and democracy remain prevalent. There also are herculean attacks on “truth.” Daily, we witness individuals who swore an oath to the Constitution stand and look into cameras as the…
Business owners can’t find workers to fill their jobs. But people everywhere are looking for work. What gives?
As we continue to emerge from the pandemic, there’s a sense of relief and optimism that things will return to normal. Long-awaited family gatherings, birthday parties and graduation ceremonies are finally happening in person. Sporting events have fans in the stands, airports are busy and we …
Even in the midst of “should they or shouldn’t they,” the 2020 Olympics are moving forward. It all begins officially with the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics on Friday evening.
Some of you may remember the gas rig that was the closest platform off the beach back in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Before they took it down, in a wilder era, beach patrol made good use of that and the old lighthouse on the end of the south jetty.
Galveston residents have so much more because of people that don’t live here. Our access to health care through the University of Texas Medical Branch is way out of proportion to our resident population. We have more restaurants, more shopping, more activities, more arts, better beaches and …
We should all strive to be more like the Rev. Ray Pinard.
I remember singing a Sunday school song with lyrics something like: “Red and yellow, Black and white, they are precious in his sight. Jesus loves all the little children of the world.”
I'm tired of Texas Democrats who fled the state to keep from doing the job they were elected to do being treated like heroes. They willfully walked off their job because they don't agree with the voting bill that was to come up for a vote.
Accusing President-elect Donald Trump of treason, former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told the public he was colluding with Russia. But behind closed doors, and under oath, each testified they had no collusion evidence.
Today is National Junk Food Day. And, sorry, we’re going to be “that guy.”
In the past six weeks, I’ve learned many things that I never knew. And more importantly I didn’t know what it was I didn’t know. Things I should’ve been taught. Stories I should’ve heard.
The last thing Texans need is a lecture from Republicans on family values.
Fifty-one cowardly liberals slunk off to Washington on July 12. They're hiding behind the skirts of their liberal masters, rather than stay and represent their constituents. They elected to forego their duties.
In response to the editorial by Michael A. Smith ("Dems' flight over voting bills also political theater," The Daily News, July 17-18): Congratulations, and thank you for what I think was a very objective and straightforward approach to the voting bills issue. While I'm not sure we want to d…
No one should be surprised, alarmed or discouraged about reports of so-called breakthrough cases in which fully vaccinated people contract COVID.
I love music. It makes my life better.
Several people report they know individuals who tested positive for COVID, even though they were fully vaccinated. Reports like this constitute anecdotal data. However, COVID cases are up 97 percent. Texas is one of 34 states where COVID cases have risen over 50 percent.
Wow! I went on a fantastic trip to Austin’s Capitol to protest voter suppression. My first protest at the Capitol was when I was 17 years old, but this gathering by far, 53 years later, represents current critical theories in Texas history. Today, we were many different people. We come from …
