Since April, I’ve been telling my students that their generation will be the ultimate storytellers of this pandemic, as COVID-19’s legacy will surely endure for decades. This semester, I’ve taken it a step further and required them to keep pandemic diaries. Their weekly 500-word entries ...
My name is Greg Nennig. I have multiple sclerosis. I have been a neighbor of Tony Reed for over two decades. I’ve had two trees in my front yard that blew over due to straight-line winds about seven years ago. Tony cut them up and hauled them away. He has always helped me and always helped ...
The coronavirus has changed the way we work, in many cases forever. The pandemic has also brought into sharp focus the powerless state of workers here in Iowa and the employer-driven policies that intentionally keep it that way. State policymakers are crafting strategies now that will shape ...
Senator Ernst — How does it feel to be called a “sucker” and a “loser” by the president? Any chance you’ll call out this guy for denigrating and disrespecting current and former members of the military, especially those uniformed men and women who perished in their service to our ...
Dear Dietitian, I recently lost forty pounds to get my cholesterol level down. My LDL went from 150 to 117, and I’d like to get it down to 100. I am 70 years old, and the doctor wants me to gain a few pounds! He says if I were to get sick, I would need some extra weight as a safeguard. How ...

Every good thing comes to an end. Since our founding — based on ideas and principles rather than race or nationality — America grew to become the world’s most dominant power by the end of World War II. By the 1990s, once we won the Cold War, there was nobody else even close. Now we are ...

I don’t care about Melania Trump’s past life as a model. She has a right to do as she wants with her own body. Any attempt by liberals to shame her for that is an act of hypocrisy. I don’t care what she wears or how she looks. She is glamorous and beautiful, which has nothing to do with ...
