Easter, Savannah Guthrie, Tiger Woods and you
BY DR. GLENN MOLLETTE Millions of people around the world will celebrate Easter on Sunday. When I was a child, I enjoyed watching my mother color eggs.

Changes that basketball needs
I love basketball, especially this time of year during “March Madness.” But I have seen some things that have changed over the past few years that I think need to be changed or to go back to the original rules. The first one is the “Euro-step.” That is mostly seen in college and in the

Iran: No peaceful day there or here
BY DR. GLENN MOLLETTE I am ready for the Iran war to be over. I was not ready for it to start. War always means the loss of human life. The families and friends of those who have been killed will suffer emotionally for the rest of their lives. Children have now lost parents. Spouses

Stay alert to evil
BY DR. GLENN MOLLETTE Some people on the planet obviously hate President Donald Trump. Anyone connected to the Ayatollah Khamenei most likely hates him.

Lifting the curtain on UFO files
For those who are interested in UFOs and the government cover-up that has gone on for many years, there was some recent good news. President Donald Trump has directed his administration to release files on UFOs and any “alien and extraterrestrial life.” He is the first president to do this, especially about an issue that

A grade beyond the grave
BY DR. GLENN MOLLETTE James E. Webb was my first cousin, neighbor and friend. James was about 10 years older than me. At the age of 23, he became my junior high school teacher. I had him for classes in the seventh and eighth grades. Growing up, he taught me chords on the guitar and
