Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson reflects on the 80th D-Day anniversary and U.S. division, noting the wartime segregation of the 320th Barrage Balloon Battalion, the postwar era of Jim Crow, and political battles over the New Deal and World War II’s unifying resolve. He argues that national unity may return only through difficult, incremental political work while honoring veterans.

Cal Thomas argues Biden’s executive order caps migrants at 2500 daily, granting work permits to 3.3 million since 2021 and 1.4 million pending. He contends the move bypasses immigration law, labels it amnesty, questions enforcement, and warns it reflects political necessity ahead of the 2024 election.

Tomlinson settlement saga sparks call for transparency
A reader letter argues Tomlinson, a Lorain County public servant, must reveal public records on a $100,000 Battistelli settlement funded by taxpayers. The piece denounces Sunshine Law limits, praises accountability, and notes ongoing litigation while linking county officials to scrutiny and the sheriff race. It also links broader themes of political trust, biblical quotes, and marijuana legalization debates.
