Dear Editor, While attending college I was taught to think for myself. Communism and socialism were subjects of discussion. However, indoctrination into either was never the goal of those institutions of higher learning. Granted to this day there are students who will embrace socialistic and democratic ideals as well as conservative ones. I have to say I am in total agreement with the writer of the “Take Over America” letter, in the July 22 edition of The Standard; especially the part about the “Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.” My fellow citizens, consider that…

Dear Editor, Joe Biden reminds me of a car salesman I once knew. His name was Diamond Jim, a man in my small town. I made the mistake of buying a ’72 Chevy pickup from him. I expected it to have the correct engine; instead it turned out to be a 1954 Chevy engine. Confronted, he gave me back half the money I paid. What does that have to do with honest Joe Biden? Joe Biden is a socialist, he’s just as crazy as Bernie Sanders and just as radical. Socialism is a form of Marxist communism. Do you really…

Dear Editor, I have a question for the “Christian” letter writer in the July 8 edition of The Standard, who wants us “to bend a knee to Christ not communism.” Did you return your socialistic stimulus check to the IRS coffers, or did you keep it? This would seem to imply support for the socialist agenda. What also should require further introspection are the loving Christian words used to label his fellow man, i.e., “power hungry tyrants, BLM morons, blood thirsty murdering cult,” or the exquisitely loving Christian words, “vomit of the human race.” He goes on to state, “justice…

Dear Editor, How many friends do you have? Thousands? If you are on Facebook you may have close to 5000 friends and tens of thousands of more “friends” via Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat or various other social media connections. Are you really connected? Can you really call these social media friends, “friends?” How many of these people do you talk to or have ever had a verbal conversation, in person or on the telephone? How many of them have you met or would like to meet? In most cases if your social media “friends” wanted to meet you and visit you…

Dear Editor, One of my key initiatives, and one that is critically important to the citizens of Mohave County, is the future of public safety … being able to fully fund it and fully leverage regional resources to support it… to allow our public safety providers to increase personnel, increase response times, increase community presence, increase citizen satisfaction, and better protect our communities. I have the experience, the foresight, and the energy to put a plan into action. As Chief Information Officer in my past, I supported over 80 public safety agencies across Arizona and Southern California and, with the…

Dear Editor, The following information in part is from an article by Jeff Rense. On January 10, 1963, the House of Representatives and Senate began reviewing a document, “Communist Goals for Taking Over America.” This list was put in the congressional record. The following list is the majority of a list of this agenda. It was quite shocking then and equally stunning today in 2020. As you read through this list, never forget that about 100% have been implemented. Did our representatives ever take this seriously or just put it aside? We better take it seriously for our children and…
