Dear Editor, Lloyd Dickson, you are a parrot. You have never done any research about what you speak. If you did you would already know and understand what I am about to explain to you. Your reply comes down to telling me to shut up and take the approved Bio Weapon because the experts say it stops the Covid virus when in fact, in my opinion, it does not. You say this without ever researching the ingredients of what is in it. Graphene oxide is only one of a long list of toxic ingredients. In fact there is a federal…

Dear Editor, Imagine a family of 6 people coming to your house. They knock on the door. They look tired, frail, dirty, and very hungry. They are desperate. 2 of the 6 people are under 6 years old. Their clothes are rags and their shoes are barely still on their feet. They tell you about their plight. They have traveled a long way. They left their country in search of a better life. They need you to help them. They need you to give them shelter, food, clothes and some cash. They need to stay with you for a while….

Dear Editor, Again, some right-wing extremists want to cast liberals as hating the “national Constitution”, “the founders”, and “capitalism”, and “wish for or promote socialism, communism, and/or Marxism.” This is according to Mr. Heck’s letter appearing in The Standard’s Sept. 15 edition titled “Sizing up the magnitude of the American problem.” I hope people notice how he cleverly skirts the fact that Fox News has some 9,000 employees, or that some of their on-air personalities have been censured.

Dear Editor, Chris Snow—standing in the dark beside his stalled truck a quarter mile from an attempted burglary committed by 2 strangers he had driven in kindness—was arrested, jailed, and convicted by a jury, and is soon to be sentenced in Mohave County Superior Court. Released after last Dec. until now Sept., this homeless Kingman visitor has had to live off local kindness, trapped by due process and awaiting trial. Chris Snow was passed between 3 Public Defenders after he refused to plead guilty. The third attempted to trial by jury without success. At the same time, a murder trial…

Dear Editor, A blank stare of disbelief with a side of ugly premonition. The major news stories have fizzled out – for now – but that’s how I’ve digested the United States’ final stages of military withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Taliban takeover that ensued this summer. The suicide attacks that killed 13 U.S. servicemembers and the chaotic evacuation of Americans and Afghan refugees made me feel like punching my laptop screen. As a former military reporter and civilian journalist for more than ten years, the circus sideshow made me want to share a few of my experiences and observations…
