Is Vladimir Putin the Devil?

Dear Editor, There is nothing good to be said about the Devil. If you don’t believe me, check out the Bible. Or just turn on the television for a reporting of the evil he spreads throughout the world. You will likely see his picture: Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia.  Some people say they don’t believe in the existence of the Devil. I do; his name is Vladimir Putin.  Look at the face of Putin. You will see the Devil. Look at his dark eerie eyes and his pointed ears. When he attempts to smile, you’ll notice his tongue rolls out…

The story of scripture

Dear Editor, It turns out that the sacred record of the western world is at its root much different than what we have made it out to be.The scripture is a deep history meant to pass along how successful societies ensured that their people obtained knowledge, created lasting families, organized gainful work, and served in public affairs. The scripture encourages democratic societies to require compulsory education, free enterprise, codes of ethics, laws against crime and civil wrongs, and rotating leadership in government. In a word, the scripture presents a general program to deal with all aspects of public life. Churches…

Concerns about a broken system regarding border security, Ukrainian war

Dear Editor, I wish I could say the new crop of political wannabes new more about the U.S. Constitution regarding problems at the Mexico border and elsewhere than their television ads seem to indicate. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4 deals with immigration. Section 8 grants Congress the responsibility of the rules of Naturalization. Why do we always place the blame of border problems on whoever is President when in actuality it is up to Congress when you consider we have congressional leaders refusing to even work with the administration? On Jan. 20, 2021 President Biden sent an immigration bill…

Thank you to the staff of Kingman Regional Medical Center

Dear Editor, Nobody likes going to hospital, and sadly I have gone way too many times, but I am so very grateful for the incredible staff at KRMC. One nurse in particular is a superstar. His name is Pip and he works in the Emergency Department. He is kind and caring and really focuses on his patients. He’s also accurate in what he tells you. If he says he will be back in a couple of minutes, he actually is (not an hour later or doesn’t come back at all). If every nurse could train with Pip, our healthcare system…
