WILL WEISSERT and MARC LEVY Associated Press LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) — A presidential campaign that has largely been frozen for several months because of the coronavirus took on a degree of normalcy on Thursday when President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden swung through critical battleground states presenting starkly different visions for a post-pandemic America. Touring a shipyard in Marinette, Wisconsin, Trump insisted the economy is "coming back at a level nobody ever imagined possible." But in Lancaster, Pen...

LISA MASCARO AP Congressional Correspondent WASHINGTON (AP) — The House approved a far-reaching police overhaul from Democrats on Thursday, a vote heavy with emotion and symbolism as a divided Congress struggles to address the global outcry over the deaths of George Floyd and other Black Americans. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gathered with members of the Congressional Black Caucus on the Capitol steps, challenging opponents not to allow the deaths to have been in vain or the outpouring of public support for changes to go u...
ROB HARRIS AP Global Soccer Writer LIVERPOOL, England (AP) - The 30-year wait is over. Liverpool is champion of England again. Liverpool clinched its first league title since 1990 on Thursday, ending an agonizing title drought without the players even having to take the field. Instead, the Premier League crown was secured when Chelsea beat second-place Manchester City 2-1, a result that means City can no longer catch Liverpool with seven games remaining. For the city of...

MIKE SCHNEIDER Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Amid calls to change the Splash Mountain theme park ride over its ties to "Song of the South," the 1946 movie many view as racist, Disney officials said Thursday it was recasting the ride based on "The Princess and the Frog," a 2009 Disney film with an African American female lead.

MARCY GORDON AP Business Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Nearly 1.1 million coronavirus relief payments totaling some $1.4 billion went to dead people, a government watchdog reported Thursday. Legal and political issues hang over the misdirected taxpayer funds, the latest example of errors in massive aid being dispensed at crisis speed. More than 130 million so-called economic impact payments were sent to taxpayers as part of the $2.4 trillion coronavirus relief package enacted in...
COLLIN BINKLEY AP Education Writer The Trump administration on Thursday moved forward with a policy ordering public schools across the U.S. to share coronavirus relief funding with private schools at a higher rate than federal law typically requires. Under a new rule issued by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, school districts are ordered to set aside a portion of their aid for private schools using a formula based on the total number of private school students in the district. The policy has been contested by public school...
I feel like I always have to start by saying racism is evil. Any bias based on innate traits is inherently wrong, and I look forward to a post racial society where we can love and respect each other and treasure our differences. I also understand police aren’t perfect, and there is a lot of discussion around training, cameras, immunity, etc. I believe we will come out in a better place, but we have to be honest about some of these issues and data and not just believe e...

Why is it that we can't have a debate of issues without the personal attacks? Because that is who you are and what the left does. There is no tolerance of anything outside their point of view. I try to speak in generalities with issues the left has but am always personally named in their rebuttal letters. Again, read Saul Alinsky’s, “Handbook for Radicals,” it’s their bible. Read The Washington Post’s Jan. 20, 2017, Inauguration Day article titled “The Campaign to Impeach Trump Has Begun.” Your multimillion-dollar waste of ti...
It's hard to put a value on friends, until you've had them for a while. I've heard people say that if you can count your friends on one hand, consider yourself lucky! It's important to have friends, just as it is important to have family. In fact, if you can have both friends and family, I think you have it made. With all of the recent events going on in the world, I find myself checking in with my friends and family, a little more frequently than usual. Although I am not one to worry usually, I feel more concerned about...
WASHINGTON – Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton made the following statement about the Monday, June 15, decision by the United States Supreme Court regarding sex discrimination: “The Supreme Court undermined the rule of law today. In expanding the ban of sex discrimination in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include sexual orientation and gender identity, the court engaged in an abuse of power by legislating from the bench. “There has been a yearslong battle by left to change federal law to bar discrimination based on sexual...

I am writing about the George Floyd protest outbreak. I am concerned about all of our brothers and sisters, no matter their color… Jesus loves all his children, did we forget that? Floyd has gotten enough recognition, not to mention four services and all the rioting and looting, also the chance of a second coronavirus outbreak. We all need to say out loud that all lives matter, so let’s stop now with the Floyd protests and realize white people matter and brown people matter. Why do the black people want to kill more bro...

In these areas, most households generally do not receive mail at their homes, so census workers drop off census materials in person. When the operation is complete, nearly every household nationwide will have received an invitation to partici...
