Pam’s Points: History is today, over and over
Old and bad habits die hard
Sohn: Fox is the new Trump-Russia Today TV
Try this at home: The next time there's a big breaking news story about special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe, or a report about anything political other than the Southern border or Trump's national security executive order, make yourself flip news channels for a few minutes among CNN, MSNBC and Fox News.
Pam’s Points: Public trust needs a jolt of hope
Star boy Jared Kushner received his top secret security clearance not because he earned it, but because is father-in-law, the president, overruled security advisers and ordered them to let Kushner have it.
Sohn: Discipline disparity in schools is lesson in education equity
News flash! Hamilton County Schools is one of 25 school districts recently flagged by the Tennessee Department of Education for disproportionately disciplining students with disabilities, especially black students.
Sohn: Yes, commissioners, please fund the Ed Johnson memorial
Hamilton County's propensity for missing opportunities never ceases to amaze.
Sohn: Cohen shares dark Trump concerns
What did we learn from Michael Cohen's daylong testimony to Congress? Enough to make us even more disdainful of President Donald Trump and the refuse with which he surrounds himself.
Pam’s Points: This is about community building
It's all too easy these days to get caught up in the bad news that assails us daily: A police officer is killed, the legislature advances another unnecessary and unconstitutional assault on women's reproductive rights, a teen is still missing after floods wash away the car in which he rode.
Sohn: Fallen officer is all of Chattanooga’s loss
When most of us are staying inside - away from bad weather, bad people, fires or other scary stuff - police and other first responders are bearing the elements, charging in, forming a thin, human blue wall to warn us and protect us from danger.
Pam’s Points: So many outrages, so little time
Last week was one of outrages.
Sohn: President gives us tell-tale pattern of cover up
It's a pattern: Donald Trump says he's done nothing wrong, but for more than two years now, he and the people who work or worked for him have lied, connived, threatened and paid off people who might say otherwise.
