I noticed the paper today has a distinct lack of national news.

Like national news is no longer of any importance.  

There are a number of days old articles, some click bait, but not so much in the way of news.

Iraqi forces are fighting Kurds who look for independence for themselves, Trump's America is against granting them independence, ….because oil fields, and the Iraqis just seized Kirkuk where the oil fields are located.

Trump named Tom Marino to be his 'drug czar'.

Of course he did

Rep. Tom Marino (R-Pa.) was the chief advocate for the measure that hobbled the Drug Enforcement Administration and made it harder for the government to take action against large drug companies when they flood the market with addictive drugs.

Marino led the effort to help weaken the Drug Enforcement Administration’s ability to go after drug distributors, even as opioid-related deaths continue to rise. 

California continues to burn.

The founders designed impeachment for someone like Trump
