This election is not about Trump or Biden, it is about our freedom and liberty versus the Marxist model of the state making all decisions for…

What do you want your tax dollars funding?

Dear Editor, I want to thank first of all The Standard newspaper for the privilege of allowing me to share week after week with the people of faith and others in Mohave County. Thank you all very much. Today I’ll be brief, as I call every Christian or all red blooded Americans, of faith or not, to heed what is happening here in America and globally. I want to draw your attention to a few terms, hoping that you’ll educate yourself on what is transpiring. Most people are unaware as I was, until a couple of years ago. These terms…
