Spending time with our families on the Thanksgiving holiday allows for a pause from the fast pace of our daily lives.

I have a theory as to why Donald Trump won the election.

Well, that election took a lot of people by surprise, didn’t it?

I can see why Democrats are upset with FBI Director Jim Comey.

Michelle Obama went off on Donald Trump on the campaign trail a week-and-a-half ago.

I received some interesting correspondence from a reader this week.

Donald Trump is a loutish boor, to be sure.

You probably don’t know who Marc Turi is, but that’s OK, because I’m fixing to tell you.

For decades, there has been a liberal bias in the national media.

In 2003, 100 percent ground beef was selling for an average of $1.93 a pound.

Gallup came out with a poll this week which was not surprising. But at the same time, it was really troubling to me.

President Barack Obama’s approval rating is hovering around 51 percent this week.

A?week or so ago we ran a story about Physicians Health Plan of Northern Indiana leaving the individual-insurance marketplace.

Julian Assange is an Australian computer programer who for years has fashioned himself a champion against government overreach. Whether he is a hero or a villain is up for debate.

I realize the national media is awfully busy talking about Donald Trump’s “campaign shakeup” or his latest gaffe.

Without a doubt, this is the most bizarre election cycle I have ever witnessed.

There are some big changes going on here at the Times-Union and we’re pretty excited about it. First of all, our print redesign was launched this week.

So I rode my motorcycle to work on Wednesday because it was such a nice day. Instead of heading home to Syracuse the usual way –  north on Ind. 15 to CR 900N, etc. – I decided to go through town and head east on U.S. 30 to check out Lake City Honda.

You’ve heard the phrase “perception is reality.” A few weeks ago I wrote how the perception in the US today is that we are living in a time when violent crime is spiraling out of control, even though precisely the converse is true.

I would like to take a little time to talk about the Times-Union’s new website, which launched during the first week of April.
