Affirmative action, abortion, and LGBTQ rights: Americans debate the approach we should take to these issues along Constitutional, policy, and moral lines. Each matter holds distinct elements. However, when you strip the arguments for and against to their foundation, you find a common root. They all concern the meaning of the assertion, made in the Declaration of Independence, that “all men are created equal.”This example displays a broader point. First principles wear many clothes.

MARIETTA – North Paulding had beaten Cherokee twice this season, and appeared to be heading to a third in Friday's Region 5AAAAAA championship game at Walton, but the Warriors weren't about to let that happen. Trailing by nine points early in the fourth quarter, Cherokee rallied and upset the Wolfpack 49-48 to claim the region title, and the region's No. 1 seed heading into next week's Class AAAAAA state playoffs.

Could America’s Constitution be on the cusp of a massive rewrite? A recent article said that Democrats fear Republicans at the state and national levels will try to do so after President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January. These worries are greatly overblown. However, they do point toward a constitutional mechanism that some well-meaning Americans wrongly support. We should begin with the relevant text of the Constitution. Article Five details how to modify our governing document.

On Dec. 2, 1859, the Commonwealth of Virginia executed John Brown. Brown had been convicted of multiple murders, treason against Virginia, and inciting a slave revolt in relation to his raid on an armory in Harpers Ferry. John Brown was an abolitionist who hated the injustice of slavery. He asserted human equality as a Christian principle to be followed by all who feared God. Brown also believed peaceful efforts at combating slavery had failed. He chose violence.

‘Tis the season to be nominating. At least it is for President-elect Donald Trump. He quickly announced his choices for various positions within his incoming administration. Some of these picks have received general approval, while others face a tough battle to receive the required Senate confirmation. Praise and criticism of these picks have fallen along several well-worn lines. Some discuss the nominees in relation to their past governmental or private experience.

On Sunday, President Joe Biden announced that he had granted a “full and unconditional” pardon to his son, Hunter Biden. This announcement wiped away one conviction for Hunter Biden and extricated him from other legal troubles. It also contradicted past statements by the president that he would not issue such a pardon. I should state up front that the president’s pardon of his son resides perfectly within his presidential authority. The Constitution gives the president alone this power.

This week, Americans will celebrate Thanksgiving again. We have done so annually on the last Thursday in November since 1863. It has grown into one of our most anticipated and cherished holidays, kicking off a season of holidays that stretch to the new year. How should we celebrate Thanksgiving in 2024? We certainly should mark the day with good food, time with family, and watching football. This year, we also should commit to making Thanksgiving a patriotic holiday.

Current presidents always stand in comparison to past presidents. Former president and now President-elect Donald Trump is no different. Trump, for example, is the new Grover Cleveland. With his win on Nov. 5, Trump joined Cleveland as the only other man to win two nonconsecutive presidential elections. Many pundits also have compared Trump to President Andrew Jackson.

MARIETTA — Sprayberry won a home playoff game for the first time since 1982, tackling Lanier for a 27-14 victory Friday night in the first round of the Class AAAAA state football playoffs at Jim Frazier Stadium. During the first quarter, it looked like Region 6-AAAAA champion Sprayberry (10-1) was going to run away with it. The Yellow Jackets led 10-0 and had held fourth-seeded Lanier (5-6) to minus-11 yards.
