Trump: Immigration plan can't be taken seriously

What columnist Jay Ambrose, and all President Trump supporters, don’t understand is that Trump has never had any plans. His so called “immigration plan” is a rehash of other people’s ideas.

Anthem: Sports columnist should butt out

I was decidedly unimpressed with John McGrath’s column. The obvious problem was the white, middle-class entitlement oozing from an opinion that boiled down to “black athletes can express their political opinions, just not where I might actually notice.”
