There’s a lot of talk about New Year’s resolutions in January. My resolutions have involved weight loss or exercise, but now I don’t make them. I have decided to improve my diet starting this month, but it was more a reaction to overdoing the rich food over the holidays. I’m not calling it a resolution. Many years ago Lynn and I were invited to a New Year’s Eve party in Wichita at the home of some friends. Our daughter had just been born Dec. 4. I wasn’t ready for that much of an outing, but Lynn talked me into it. We flew in our small plane...

Once Russell Westbrook headed to Houston, the Oklahoma City Thunder were supposed to be headed toward a rebuild. The team Westbrook returns to face this week doesn't look like a team headed for the lottery. It's playing like one Westbrook might see again in the postseason. The Thunder welcome back their former point guard Thursday, with both doing just fine since going their separate ways last summer. That's not a surprise for Westbrook, given that he was sent to join former MVP — and one-time Oklahoma City teammate — James Harden on a hig...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump once warned Barack Obama against "playing the Iran card" to boost his political prospects by starting a war. Eight years later, Trump is showing no reluctance to capitalize politically on his order to kill a top Iranian general, drawing accusations that he is weaponizing foreign policy for his campaign's own gain. Trump's campaign has used the killing of Qassem Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard's elite Quds Force, as a cudgel against the president's Democratic political rivals and to divert a...
