PAYNE: Blames 1996 Telecom Act for emergence of Donald Trump

By Tom Payne, Wayside, Ga. | We can draw a direct line from the 1996 Telecommunications Act (the GOP’s gift to their big business benefactors), to Rupert Murdoch, to the creation of Donald Trump. This year, Fox News is 20 years old. In 1996, Roger Ailes, the molester of women in his employ, was hired to create Fox News.

FOCUS: Does our nation want a leader who is a bully and a con artist?

By Alvin Leaphart, Jesup, Ga. | My grandmother, Florence Gibbs, a former United States Congressman, taught me “Noblesse oblige,” a French phrase meaning “nobility obliges.” It is the concept that nobility extends beyond mere entitlements and requires the person who holds such status to fulfill social responsibilities, particularly in leadership roles. She fervently believed that this applied to everyone in government, from the bottom to the top.

TUGGLE: Progressivism and checking beyond the edges in the Trump arena

TUGGLE: Progressivism and checking beyond the edges in the Trump arena

By Hoyt Tuggle | This is in response to Debra Houston. It is history and the current political situation from a different perspective.

Progressivism has been a significant component of the Democratic Party since Woodrow Wilson. This division within the Democratic Party has been pretty much an ongoing battle except for the FDR years. In modern times it surfaced between Jimmy Carter and the Democratic establishment. It accounted for as much of his failures as did anything.
