Addressing the destruction of America

Ron Martin4 years ago4 mins

Dear Editor, I realize this is conservative territory, but if my liberal (not communistic, there is a difference) slanted letters are causing those on the right to question policies on both sides of the aisle, then this fulfills my intention and should be viewed as a good thing. However, my greatest realization and concern for America is the fact that one person, back by millions, almost brought about the demise of our great democracy. Not only that, but handed China and Russia the gift of knowing just how fragile our democracy actually is. I want to thank The Standard for…

Commentary on Mohave County group homes: Part 2 of 2

Ron Martin4 years ago2 mins

Dear Editor, Life has been tough for us in the group homes, but I’m happy to say our prayers have been answered. We’re extremely excited that our quality of life is much better thanks to a few dedicated people. The woman who runs our group home in Golden Valley has always strived to make us residents as comfortable as possible. She has continually dedicated herself to taking care of us, ensuring we have a clean, dry place to live, and enough food so we have full stomachs. There isn’t anything worse than going to bed hungry. Another thing she and…

Dear Editor, When I went to school, I was not only taught to read. I also learned to comprehend what I read, which would lead to critical thinking.

Recently, a person took my words and injected his own interpretation to make my statements completely different than written. This is what has been happening in the mainstream media that has been controlled by the far left for years. It would be an exercise in futility to try…

Dear Editor, “Howdy” was a common everyday word where I grew up. Raised on old Stidham, now known as Milo Road in rural Appalachia, I spent a lot of time at my Grandpa and Grandma Hinkle’s store. People came and went buying gasoline, sandwich meat, snacks, or groceries for the week. There were cane bottom chairs in the store and often people would sit and chat for a while. Regardless of how many times during the week I walked down the road to that store, the opening salutation was typically “howdy.” People were in and out of the Hinkle store…

In response to Lloyd Dickson’s letter of February 2

Pam Wanner5 years ago2 mins

Dear Editor, Mr. Dickson, Do you deny that the Keystone XL pipeline was canceled causing the United States to lose its energy independence while the Biden Administration removed the sanctions on the Russian Nord Stream 2 pipeline to Germany? Do you deny the Biden Administration had to beg OPEC to pump more oil due to a self-induced deficit? Do you deny the Biden-caused Afghanistan fiasco that caused the deaths of 13 American service people and the gift of Bagram Air Base to the Taliban, along with 85 billion dollars in sophisticated equipment? Do you deny that the Biden Administration opened…
