Why? I don’t know.

Dear Editor, The five Mohave County District Supervisors make new ordinances to get votes knowing all the departments will not be able to handle them because of resources, manpower, and money. Why? I don’t know. The Environmental Department does a great job knowing the ordinances and they aren’t afraid to tell violators who are breaking the ordinances the consequences if they are not followed. Why? I don’t know. The Public Health Department does a great job too, except about five or six years ago a man was bitten by a thousand bee stings and died. They don’t seem to have…

Assemble or disassemble

Dear Editor, Hebrews 10: 25 says, “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more, as ye see the Day approaching.” In these troublesome times when we are told to stay home, and churches close their doors, we need to understand that, according to God’s word, we are commanded by the Word of God to not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is. So what was Paul talking about here? The second returning of the Lord Jesus to this world to take…

A plea for the Freedom to Vote Act

Dear Editor, An all-inclusive remark about the reason to support the Freedom to Vote Act was made by small business owner Michael Kelly, published in the Arizona Daily Star, and states the rationale very clearly: “If success in business requires accessibility and innovation, why don’t these same qualities apply when it comes to access to the ballot?” The Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis legislation are essential tools to help make our democracy work! Contact you legislator today and insist they support both the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis legislation, both bills dealing with the…

What color is the sun on your planet?

Dear Editor, In response to Lloyd Dickson: “Democratic President Joe Biden thinks anyone making over $400K per year should, perhaps, be asked to pitch in and pay a little more.” Sir, what flavor is the Blue KoolAid? Asking for a friend because they want to be sure and stay away from it. You are aware that part of this $3.5 trillion package “Social Joe” is trying to ram down our throats contains a provision that will allow the federal government to access personal bank accounts for transactions of $600 or more, correct? And you do further realize just how small…
