If our Congress and Senate make laws and the president signs it then we must obey them or we get put in jail or fined, so why are they crying about the law that President Trump is enforcing? I don’t like families separated either, but they know what they are doing or, at least, I think they ...

Who among us is not shocked and dismayed by school shootings, the opioid epidemic and deaths caused by drunken driving? We, like you, demand immediate action to find solutions to stop these scourges in our country. But let’s not look the other way when it comes to the urgent threat of ...
I've been doing some interesting reading lately. Let's talk about it. There's "Undiscovered Country," by Kelly O'Connor McNees. I guess, in the back of my head, I may have been aware of Eleanor Roosevelt's sexual leanings, but I never gave it much thought. The Roosevelts led interesting lives ...

On a trip to Indianapolis last Saturday traveling on I-69, my wife and I counted eight deer carcasses on the side of the highway — four going down and four coming back. I wondered why these animals that were struck by vehicles were all left to rot. The Indiana Department of Natural ...

There must be something wrong with me. All I read and hear about in the news is the opioid epidemic, as well as all the other addictive substances. But I don’t have a problem with any of them; is there something wrong with me? I have never once used pot, heroin, cocaine, meth or any of the ...

One of mankind’s basic needs is security, and people will do almost anything to feel secure. Eventually, however, our money, possessions, knowledge and relationships will fail or be gone. Only God can give lasting security. The question we have to ask ourselves is; what things are we trusting ...
Let me be clear that I do not live in Fort Wayne but it bothers me to see that the water rate will increase because of so many broken water lines. I thought the Legacy Fund was supposed to cover items like this. But it seems as if the Mayor and the City Council use this fund for whatever ...
Ball State University has made a significant impact on Fort Wayne and Allen County through the talents of its graduates through the years. The News-Sentinel was one fortunate beneficiary of many talented students the university produced from its highly acclaimed journalism school, and today ...
The Rant is The News-Sentinel’s anonymous sound-off forum. The readers’ views expressed here do not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of The News-Sentinel. Hope the new hotels downtown have their own water purification systems. Fort Wayne water has a bunch of stink weeks. ...
