Democrats plot a path back to victory in Nevada after Trump ends 20-year streak

LAS VEGAS A movement toward Republicans among working-class voters has caused Democrats to lose badly in Nevada's presidential election for the first time in 20 years. The result has forced them to face their failures. During interviews, prominent Democrats and their supporters pointed to issues with messaging, the late decision to nominate Kamala Harris, and Donald Trump's exceptional capacity to take advantage of the agony of post-pandemic cost increases, which struck many voters as particularly painful. Although the red wave ended with Trump, they are optimistic about their chances in Nevada, pointing out that it did not spread to other Republicans in the state. The odd result is assisting them in formulating their plan to turn Nevada blue once more in 2028. According to Rep. Susie Lee,...

Saturdays at West Point

The story that follows is an original account of how college football unites families. Attending a Clemson, South Carolina, or any college football game can be similar for you. I hope part of what has been said speaks to you as we approach the weekend and prepare to enjoy another college football Saturday. I have a deep respect for collegiate football from an early age. I went to Army football games with my family from the time I was crawling. We would gather at my church, board a bus, and travel two hours to West Point to watch Army play a low-level opponent, which nearly always ended in victory. I suppose the church received a ticket discount, which allowed us to attend. Given the opponent and the small attendance at the game, Army was most likely pleased to comply. I get what the majori...
