Thank you, Alma Gaul, for the article about the QC Botanical Center. It was nice reading about all the good news of what is going on there as well as the history of the center.
If you stand in front of the Supreme Court Building you will read the words, Equal Justice Under the Law. Sadly that's not true in the good old USA.
The city of Davenport has been repeatedly chastised at city council meetings for a lack of transparency in its handling of the 324 Main Street catastrophe.
I am responding to John Donald O’Shea’s July 2 Opinion page article “Are men and women Catholics really ‘all one in Christ?' ”
Even though the conclusions and facts of the editorial letter, “Climate change is the elephant in the room,” are wrong, the writer does acknowledge climate change is happening.
It would be enjoyable to write something positive about our country right now, but that's hard to do. We may be more divided now than any time since the Civil War.
On July 1 at Pickens, South Carolina, Donald Trump boasted about the Supreme Court ending affirmative action at universities and colleges. He said it was now based on merit rather than the chance an African American might have the rare chance to beat out a white person. Trump has thrown Blac…
Gov. Kim Reynolds is calling a special session on July 11 to pass new legislation restricting abortion. We all knew this was going to happen after the Iowa Supreme Court stayed the decision of the lower court allowing abortion access to continue in Iowa.
The malaria virus has arrived back America. Pope Francis has said that contraception was good to use to fight Zika.
In Leviticus, Revelation, James, Matthew, Corinthians, Hebrews, and of course, that pesky 7th Commandment, the Bible teaches that adultery is a sin against man and against God.
Everyone knows these wonderful stories are out there and they happen all the time in public schools, in small towns and larger towns throughout our area.
Do we, the people, get to choose the president? Sorry, not really. The behind-the-scenes work is done by the RNC and the DNC. They determine which candidate meets the needs of their party. But, what about the needs of the American people? We, the people, must demand a better choice than cand…
Well, once again the Republicans are raising their ugly heads, this time under the guise of the Republican Study Committee. They are going directly after Social Security and federal employees and retirees.
A friend in northwest Minnesota tells me that by June 10, they had already broken their record for number of days above 90 degrees. Their crops are wilting as the drought conditions add to the brutal heat.
Today’s Republicans have become the party of extremism. They now oppose all the things the Republican Party used to stand for.
Constitutional amendments … Really?
Ensure we get just people in office

What worries a climate "scientist?" After listening to this menagerie of lies from the so-called experts, I have to wonder if I'm on a different planet sometimes. None dare mention the elephant in the room that is climate engineering.
I found the editorial regarding "apology accepted" refreshing. I follow politics pretty closely for the most part, but I missed this particular subject matter.
Once again, Rock Island has deleted history! Rock Island had the honor of being the birthplace for the very first NFL football game at Douglas Park. For decades, the city did nothing to maintain the horse-drawn firehouse there and made a feeble attempt to save/restore it by announcing the in…
According to a recent report in the Guardian: Over two years following the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, approximately 12 million American adults (4.4% of the adult population) believe violence is justified to restore Donald Trump’s presidency.

As a taxpayer in the state of Iowa, I am concerned about the waste that is in the welfare system. With multiple employment vacancies listed on every street in the Quad-Cities for decent paying positions, why are so many healthy and capable people not gainfully employed? Why are my taxes prov…
America will prosper if we: Return to Christian principles and believe in miracles. Return to secure borders. Build walls where needed. Return to the melting pot concept.
Three phrases that Donald Trump likes to use are, it's a hoax, witch hunt and fake news.
Nancy Jacobson's June 20 editorial, "The two parties plot to subvert a third choice," gave me hope and confidence in the independent "No Labels" group. And if the Gallup Poll is accurate, half of our nation's voters would likely feel the same way.
This is an answer to Joe J. Jimenez of Blue Grass. Joe, it's not about age but the fact that Biden is in the first stage of dementia and his age does show when trips over and over again. As for Grassley at 90 he's still as sharp as a tack. By the way, Joe, I'm a little older than Joe. I don'…
I accept the apology, and let's cordially move on. I'd be happy to talk to the cartoonist offline, too - I'm empathetic to people who make mistakes once in awhile. Let's not go further or see people get fired over it; the cartoonist should in no way be 'canceled.' We are all human.
It seems that a large number of my friends are “woke.” For the GOP, being woke is very bad.
On Friday, June 9, I spent several hours watching the recorded commencement ceremonies at Cedar Rapids High School, chosen because my middle son is employed there, but I presume that those at the other schools across our state were similar. And I was very impressed.
