When I heard my son’s voice for the first time as he entered the world, his cry punched right through me. I gave him his first bath and shampoo. I fed him first. I held him in my lap and stared down at him for hours.
BRAINERD — Runs to end the first three quarters were too much for the seventh- ranked (KBCA, Class 2A) Remington Bronco girls to overcome in a 42-27 loss to sixth-ranked (Class 3A) Cheney in the Heart of America League-Central Plains League Challenge Thursday at Remington.“ It’s unfortunate. Early in the game for the first 12 minutes or so, we did an excellent job,” Remington coach Ricky Snyder said.

In my last column I introduced the late Glen Clopton, whose life after his release from the army at the end of World War II was spent in law enforcement. During the first four of those years, 1945-1949, he policed the streets of El Dorado, county seat of my home county, Butler. A month after returning to civilian life, Glen and his wife Marian were in Coffeyville visiting relatives when Glen visited an employment office and learned that El Dorado had four vacancies for policemen. He applied and got a job working the night shift.
What could Biden be thinking, trading a mere basketball player for the “Merchant of Death” while leaving a Marine behind? The Trumpy right is ramping up and up, getting all sanctimonious, about trading the freedom of (as the far right puts it) “a black leftist lesbian celebrity who hated this country” for that of an “ex-Marine.” So, election denier Daniel Greenfield of the most rightwing fake intelligentsia, what is the worst one of those invective modifiers you attach with such venom to Brittney Griner, a woman who helped win an Olympic Gold Medal for her country, the United States? “black”? “leftist”? “lesbian”? The far right is lionizing Paul Whelan, the “ex-Marine.” Um...he’s an ex-Marine because he well and truly earned a bad conduct discharge for being a scammer, a thief, and a lousy desk jockey supply clerk “Marine.” The military found him thusly, a military appellate court found the same, yet the ultra-right is selling him as some sort of patriotic freedom fighter held behind enemy lines and deserted by his traitorous government. Look it up.
