Dear Editor, Let us presume Donald Trump prevails in his argument, that as president he should be immune from prosecution, even if his action violates standard law. The question I have is, if he wins this inane argument.

Twenty-five years…

Dear Editor, People occasionally will ask about my upbringing, family life and Appalachia roots. So, here is my song that I wrote and recorded titled Coal Miner’s Son. Maybe you can relate to some parts of the following lyrics.  Daddy slept all day, worked all night Got home early by dawn’s daylight. Mommy made gravy biscuits and eggs fried apples, we had it made. Worked in the fields, cut a little hay, Friday morning, daddy got paid. Cows in the fields, hogs in the lot, morning and the  evening we made a little slop.  Bought some food at Grandpa’s store,…
