    Paul Flesher, Columnist|Jan 20, 2017

    Donald Trump was the resounding choice of white Christians who identified themselves as evangelical or as born again. According to exit polls from the November election taken by a consortium of ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News and the Associated Press, fully 81 percent of white evangelicals voted for Trump. Only people who identified with the Republican Party voted for Trump at a higher percentage. Why? What did he stand for that attracted them so strongly? Perhaps the Rev. James Dobson, the founder of Focus on the Family and Family...

  • First day goal? Make White House feel like home for Trump

    Jan 20, 2017

    WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s supposed to feel just like home when Donald Trump steps inside the White House residence for the first time as president on Inauguration Day. His clothes will be hanging in the closet. The kitchen will be stocked with his favorite foods. Windows will have been washed, carpets vacuumed or replaced, and fresh linens and towels will be in all the bedrooms and baths. No packed or half-empty boxes will be lying around either, unlike a typical home move. Trump and his wife, Melania, can thank the nearly 100 butlers, maids, plum...

  • On Obama's last day, a low-key end to fast-paced presidency

Eight years after he started his presidency with a burst of activity and executive orders, Obama wound it down in low-key fashion. He didn’t appear publicly during the day, and he didn’t leave the White House, though he was to accompany Trump at midday Friday to the Capitol for his successor’s swearin...

    WORLAND - Just when the Worland Warriors (5-5) thought they had the Hot Springs County High School Bobcats (2-7) in a 20-plus deficit, the Bobcats made a run to get within single digits before the Warriors finally ground out 67-56 win Thursday night at Worland High School.

    Alex Kuhn, Sports Editor|Jan 20, 2017

Thanks in part senior Korey Smith, who hit a 3-pointer and a mid-range shot, Thermopolis led the Lady Warriors 7-4. However, Worland would answer by going inside to senior Charlee Townsend for...
