End the paralysis
Once again, we have turned our Richmond public schoolchildren and their parents into beggars.
The latest stunt
We are living in dangerous times. The bigots in the White House have launched a federal Justice Department study of anti-white bias in college admissions. The New York Times reported Tuesday that the Trump administration plans to redirect the civil …
Racist still
The Free Press has long been a champion of free speech. But there are instances in which we don’t like the words being used.
Keep the pressure on
We don’t know where to begin this week with the crazy that has taken place in Washington.
Health care fight
Republican efforts to dismantle health care in this nation are not over, despite the setback handed to the GOP leadership earlier this week. On Monday, a handful of their own U.S. Senate colleagues refused to go along with a vote …

We urge our readers to tune into their TVs, radios, tablets and/or mobile devices at 10 a.m. Thursday, June 8, to hear former FBI Director James Comey testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee about President Trump’s conduct in connection with …
Vote on Tuesday, June 13
