Opinion Line (July 10)

From the testimony of FBI Director James Comey before a congressional committee, it’s obvious not only are we to ignore the elephant in the room, we are expected to swallow it whole.

Since when are carelessness and ignorance of the law grounds for immunity from prosecution for violating the law governing the dissemination of government classified material?

Hillary Clinton is careless with her e-mails, but Donald Trump is mentally off. It is easy to choose between them.

Everyone should be doing this anyway, but especially in this heat, check on your elderly neighbors and family.
