Derrick Evans had served only 37 days as a freshman West Virginia state legislator when he livestreamed himself storming the US Capitol on January 6. “Derrick Evans is in the Capitol!” he yelled, after pushing his way into the building with the mob. He was soon arrested, and in February 2022, he pleaded guilty to […]

To the editor: The letter writer who defended evangelical Christians' support of former President Trump was at least partially correct — God does accomplish great things through imperfect people. However, his reference to the biblical story of King David doesn't support the notion that God was pleased with how he did things. For the most part, the kings of Israel were such a bad bunch that they led their people into idolatry and ultimately into utter destruction. In the case of David, unlike our...

To the editor: A big thank-you to Francis Wilkinson for articulating what most sane Americans know and fear — that former President Trump's steady corruption of the Republican Party (even members who cowered under their seats in Congress on Jan. 6, 2021) is a clear and present danger to democracy. For the life of me, I cannot understand why this ham-handed megalomaniac wields so much power over so many. What harm can Trump possibly do to them if they were to come to their senses? I pray to God...
WITCH HUNT AGAINST TRUMP To find the closest thing I could to a comparison of the multiple cases facing Donald Trump, we must go back to the Salem Witch Trials of 1692-93, where 200 were accused and 19 executed. In 1711, most were pardoned. Yet, Elizabeth Johnson wasn’t fully exonerated in 2022! Ouch. Personally, I […]
