Today's Opinions

Fri Mar 8 2024

Pop quiz. Is Joe Biden too old the be president for another four years? Why do we ask? Because that was one of the focal points of the State of the Union speech Thursday night.

Biden stood before Congress and the nation to give his primetime speech days after Super Tuesday made it clear he would be facing Donald Trump in a presidential rematch everybody said they didn't want before proceeding to make sure it happened.

Reaction to the speech was swift and generally fell along party lines. Today we offer up two columns on Biden's performances as you head into the weekend.

I treated patients in Gaza. I didn't think I'd make it out alive.

After five months of Israel-Hamas war, when you think of Gaza, remember selfless and incredible people who will stop at nothing to help and heal.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said on March 6, 2024, a day after Super Tuesday, she is suspending her campaign. Haley spoke to media and some campaign staff, doubling down on not supporting former President Donald Trump.

I'm a Republican. With Nikki Haley out, I won't vote in November.

There are some conservatives, like me, who wanted Donald Trump out and who know Nikki Haley can beat Joe Biden. That didn't seem to matter.

It's time for No Labels to pick a presidential candidate or walk away
