• Commentary: Trump’s tweets weaken our democratic institutions

  12-08-2017 23:37
  For some, President Trump’s tweets are immature; others view them to be more reprehensible. After months of incessant tweeting, I look upon them as an intentional tactic from Steve Bannon’s playbook.Trump’s tweets often provide misinformation as a means to destabilize, divide and ultimately (as Bannon has said) to “deconstruct the administrative state.” I am concerned that the public has become so numb by his tweeting that a new normal may be created. This “ne

  Penei Sewell, Sr., Desert Hills
  Fans don’t often go to a game to watch an offensive lineman work, unless that lineman is your son. Sewell is a player worth the trip. The 6-foot-5, 335-pound offensive tackle is ranked as a four-star recruit by both Scout.com and Rivals.com. He’s helped the Thunder win the Class 3AA state title on the last play of the game last year. If you need a couple yards on the ground or time to find an open receiver, he can deliver both.Zach Wilson, Sr., Corner
