Opinion | Our Christmas wish list

December 11, 2019 Richmond County Daily Journal 0

North Carolina’s unemployment rate has dropped from the 10.9 percent 2010 high we experienced following The Great Recession to 4.0 percent in October. But that’s not uniform across the state. The low was Asheville’s 2.8 […]

Opinion | NC books for last minute shoppers

December 9, 2019 Richmond County Daily Journal 0

Are there new North Carolina books that would be good holiday presents for hard-to-give-to people on my list? I get that question every year about this time. Answering it gives me a chance to spread […]

Opinion | ‘Respect your local police — or else?’

December 5, 2019 Richmond County Daily Journal 0

Let’s get two things straight right off the bat. The first is that, in the last few years, no one has protested police wrongdoing more vociferously than African Americans. The second is that no one […]

Opinion | Survey says? Media is kids’ world

December 5, 2019 Richmond County Daily Journal 0

“It’s a media-mad world.” This was a tagline from a parenting book I co-authored — eight years ago. Now, kids aren’t just mad for media in their world; media is their world. That’s the takeaway […]

Opinion | Eight errors in 2019 legislative session

December 5, 2019 Richmond County Daily Journal 0

Well, that appears to be a wrap. The 2019 legislative session that commenced way back in January and dragged on in desultory fashion for months past its usual adjournment date finally petered out a couple […]

Opinion | Life is meant to be savored, not endured

December 3, 2019 Richmond County Daily Journal 0

I sat in front of my computer Wednesday morning for what seemed like hours … stunned. It had been months since I’d received an email from my high-school buddy and college roommate. He’s lived outside […]

J.A. Bolton | I hear a train a comin’

December 1, 2019 Richmond County Daily Journal 0

A town or county is like a train. First of all, to build both, a lot of planning and hard work has to be done. People have to get involved. Our forefathers just didn’t go […]

Opinion | Tax cut is holding the state back

December 1, 2019 Richmond County Daily Journal 0

The verdict is in on President Trump’s 2017 corporate tax cut: It didn’t work. The tax cut’s backers said reducing the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% would increase the average household income by […]

Opinion | North Carolina needs more businesses

November 28, 2019 Richmond County Daily Journal 0

RALEIGH — During 2018, North Carolina lost some 338,000 private-sector jobs, or 9.1 percent of the total. Did you happen to notice this economic catastrophe? I doubt it, because North Carolina businesses added nearly 413,000 […]

Opinion | A hug for your soul

November 27, 2019 Richmond County Daily Journal 0

I used to call it the “magic” table. It sat against the wall in my grandparent’s five-room bungalow, adorned with a doily and my grandfather’s Avon glass car collection. Every Thanksgiving the table would expand […]

Opinion | Starbucks, Chick-fil-A drop out of culture wars

November 26, 2019 Richmond County Daily Journal 0

Their origins couldn’t be more different — one in the liberal Pacific Northwest, the other in the Bible Belt. And yet despite existing in a consumer brand landscape increasingly caught in the same polarizing trends […]

Opinion | Eating your feelings during the holidays

November 26, 2019 Richmond County Daily Journal 0
