We finally got to hear our presidential candidates Thursday night.

Just this week, a Trump-leaning newspaper, the New York Post, featured an opinion column headlined "Biden has absolutely nothing to add when it comes to fighting COVID-19."

Dear Commissioners of Hamilton County:

Have you noticed that Republicans aren't talking about COVID-19? Except mostly to dismiss it.

Never mind that Donald Trump and the first lady and the youngest Trump, Barron, have suffered COVID-19.

America needs to be reunited, rebuilt, repaired and healed.

Please don't fall into the trap of voting for an incumbent because you think his experience is important.

In the race to fill the seat of retiring U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander, Tennessee has two choices:

Chattanooga Assistant Police Chief Glenn Scruggs is taking on eight-year incumbent legislator Todd Gardenhire, whose District 10 state Senate seat represents about 192,306 residents from south Chattanooga to Red Bank to East Brainerd and nearby Bradley County.

Local voters have a choice to put new and Democratic faces in two statehouse seats or to keep two first-term Republican incumbents there.

The media never likes it when politicians won't answer a question. That's true whether the politician is Donald Trump or Joe Biden or Mike Pence or Kamala Harris.

Throughout its 208-year history, The New England Journal of Medicine - the world's most prestigious medical journal - has remained deliberately nonpartisan, never supporting or condemning a political candidate.

Moccasin Bend is not just another piece of pretty land.

In the scheme of things, the vice presidential debate wasn't much more than a ripple.

We've just lived through the wettest 12 months in the Tennessee Valley's 131 years of recorded rainfall history, according to the Tennessee Valley Authority.

So much political arrogance, so little time. National and local. Partisan and nonpartisan.

As if this campaign season were not chaotic enough, President Donald Trump's reported positive COVID-19 test throws in still more shocks.

How many more lies must we hear? How many more times will we have to see the president of our country refuse to condemn white supremacists or Proud Boys "militia" vigilantes? How many clips of speeches or debates or briefings must we endure of Donald Trump misleading Americans about everything from coronavirus to climate change to mail-in ballots?

The president of the United States has tested positive for COVID-19 after he spent months playing down the dangerous outbreak that has killed nearly 209,000 people in the United States.

If you're like us, you feel as though you have a bad case of COVID-19 information and misinformation whiplash.

Within weeks of Donald Trump's victory in 2016, incoming White House counsel Don McGahn, the conservative Federalist Society's Leonard Leo and a handful of other attorneys set about drawing up lists of potential nominees for more than 100 federal judicial vacancies.

A guy proclaims himself a billionaire worth over $10 billion, yet he told his tax preparers and the IRS he didn't make enough money to pay more than $750 in income tax.

Testifying before the House Homeland Security Committee last week, FBI Director Christopher Wray told lawmakers that Russia again is trying to influence the U.S. elections, chiefly through attempts to "denigrate" Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
