Harrop: The people have a right to enjoy their parks
Public parks belong to the public, right? A billionaire can't cordon off an acre of Golden Gate Park for his private party. But can a poor person — or anyone who claims they can't afford a home — take over public spaces where children play and families experience nature? That is the ...
Guest opinion: Psychedelics as a vital path to healing for veterans
As our nation grapples with the enduring impact of war on our veterans, innovative approaches to mental health treatment are emerging, offering new hope for those who have faced post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Recent studies (VA News, Smithsonian, Johns Hopkins, PTSD trial), including a ...
Letter: Romney’s misguided remarks on cannabis legalization, international treaties
I am writing to address some inaccuracies in Senator Mitt Romney's recent remarks concerning cannabis legalization, as reported in your publication. Senator Romney suggested that cannabis legalization could jeopardize our international trade deals and alliances, citing international treaties as ...

My commitment to Utah has always been unwavering, and in the Senate I plan to take this dedication to new heights. Running for Senate is a decision that shouldn’t be taken lightly. I spent countless hours considering this decision. Sue, my wife, and I always taught our kids they should do ...
Garvey: Parents need – and have – the right to make mistakes
Do parents have the right to make a mistake? That's the question at hand when we talk about medication and surgery for gender dysphoria in children. But it's not an issue that begins when kids enter puberty. Parents start making high-stakes medical decisions, ones that have lifelong ...
Erickson: Must-see TV
You will have to forgive a piece that is not at all about politics and the current cultural contretemps of modern American society. Instead, I want to use these words to recommend as forcefully as possible a television show that you should be watching. But first, you must have a history ...
Barone: Maybe larger families will produce better leaders, as in the early US
Why was America in the Revolutionary War era, with 3 million people, able to generate leaders of the quality of Benjamin Franklin and George Washington, while today's America, with 333 million people, generates the likes of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump? That's a ...
