  • Oversight is not optional in democracy

    Updated May 9, 2019

    After (falsely) claiming total exoneration from the release of a redacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report, President Trump has dug in his heels even further, telling reporters that the White House was fighting “all the subpoenas” from Democrats in the House of Representatives. Presumably included on that list are efforts by the House Judiciary Committee to subpoena former White House counsel Don McGahn to testify on his testimony in Mueller’s report. There’s also the House Oversight Committee, which hel...

    Sondra Ashton|Updated May 9, 2019

    My son Ben lives in Poulsbo, a lovely town across the water from Seattle, where I lived with my family for 25 years.

Otherwise, it is all Ben’s words, unedited. Have you heard of the Coffee Oasis in Bremerton? A guy started it years ago. It gives homeless and people in recovery a chance to have a job and a h...

  • Letter to the Editor - Neo-Nazis need to be called out

    Updated May 9, 2019

    Editor, I read Ann Coulter’s column about Charlottesville. However she tries to soft-pedal Trump’s speech, I cannot buy it.

Sometimes there are evil people and they need to be called out. Three of my uncles were disturbed enough by the Holocaust that they enlisted during WWII. My dad tried to enlist but was ineligible...
