To heal as a nation
We need to come together and heal as a nation after four years of strife. In the week and a half following the attack on our nation’s capitol, we have not fully come to grips with the actions taken by an aggrieved portion of the electorate, those who feel that this election was stolen.
As many have rightly said, this mob acted in a way that was contrary to our nation’s values. But rather than speak the words needed for healing, many on the right and many contributors to this editorial page have put the responsibility of healing on Joe Biden and the Democrats. What we need to heal as a nation is for Donald Trump to admit that he lost in a free, fair, and legitimate election. We need our leaders in congress such as Doug Lamborn who have repeated lies from the president about widespread fraud to disavow their claims and assure voters that our election was fair and that their elected leaders are there legitimately. Republicans decry the divisiveness of a second

ST. CLAIRSVILLE The COVID-19 pandemic dealt a blow to tourism in Belmont County, but tourism Director Barb Ballint voiced hope for a turnaround in 2021 and said some grant funding is available to help events and attractions get back on their feet.
Ballint delivered her fourth quarter 2020 report to the commissioners Wednesday.
“It was a tough year for the tourism industry. We were probably one of the hardest-hit industries due to the pandemic,” she said. “We had to adjust to that. The tourism office used our platform as a resource of information, which helped many people navigate.”

a) Which part of defending civilians in Benghazi do you agree with, and which was over the line, and b) does going over the line invalidate the need to protect civilians from a stated massacre?
c) Putin spent a decade pushing the rights of Ukraine s minority Russian-speaking population over that of the majority, including setting up his corrupt puppet as President, poisoning an opposition leader, and holding the country hostage to gas payments and cutoffs in winter. At what point is self-determination a right, and not just an irritation to your traditional imperialist colonizer?
