The guest editorial notes border numbers have fallen for five straight months, easing city strain but at a real cost. It cites federal actions and local strain, argues for humane asylum commitments, and urges pathways for migrants to work, pay taxes, and integrate for mutual gain.
Columnist Cal Thomas guides readers through Gaza and Israel, arguing for balanced views on Israel’s right to defend itself. He notes Netanyahu’s stance and U S warnings, then presents demographics and the militant Hamas tunnel network shaping the conflict.
The text discusses sympathizers linked to militants hostile to Israel, mentions Hamas and the Oct 7 captives hidden in underground networks. It claims tear gas was ineffective and references bunker devices as overkill, affecting people in Afghanistan and Iraq, and contrasts with the pursuit of Osama bin Laden as police work rather than air incidents.
Cal Thomas surveys the Secret Service after a Trump rally security lapse in Butler Pennsylvania. He notes the shooter Crooks was spotted minutes before the attack and one agent killed him. Internal agency turnover and blame shift follow.
Guest column argues Iowa’s Education Savings Account program primarily benefits families already in private schools. It notes 2024-25 approvals rose, per pupil public funding rose modestly, and private tuition rose 10 to 25 percent as vouchers outpaced value. The author, David Duer, criticizes public school funding cuts and calls ESA a failure for 480,000 public K-12 students.
