Will the newly elected do as they have promised?

Dear Editor, Many promises were made by those running for elected office during 2020. Only time will tell if those victorious in their campaign bid will follow through with their promises. Yes, the 2020 primary and general elections are over and are now in the history books. Some individuals for partisan positions were elected and/or won the reelection. Some of the luckier ones did not have a challenger from a different political party, and were not required to compete in the general election. However, for those with challengers from a different party, they moved onto the general election and vied…

Don’t live your life based on Biden or Trump

Dear Editor, When did life begin for President Donald Trump or President Joe Biden? Did Trump’s life begin when his father loaned him millions to start investing? Did it begin when he married Melania? Or, did life begin when he was elected President? Maybe his life is beginning now that his Presidency is over? What about Biden? Did Biden’s life begin each morning when he boarded Amtrak headed for Washington? Maybe his life began when he was elected a Senator or even the Vice President? Maybe his life is just beginning now?  Trump will have options after the White House….

Understand and Defend Optimism

Dear Editor, Some say – 2020 was bad, 2021 looks worse. Perhaps. They call themselves realists. But let us not be defeatists. From fiery beginnings through WWII’s hardest-bitten battles, defeating infiltrators to derailing socialism (on multiple occasions), America has rallied whenever freedom is at risk. In the end, optimism is what turns the dial, takes the next hill, changes everything. Keep it. Yes, power-hungry socialists have managed to commandeer the Democrat Party, now hollow, haughty and dangerous. That is bad, sad and needs reversal. Yes, China, Russia, Iran and North Korea are looming, existential threats. Their influence must be contained, then rolled back. Yes, ignorance – and…

The enemy within

Dear Editor: As I sit here and watch and listen to the House proceedings to impeach President Trump I am overwhelmed with a deep, insidious sick feeling in my gut and cosmic disturbance in my being. If there was ever any breach of conscience, common sense, honor, dignity or law, we are seeing it now being displayed without shame by the corrupt Washington Establishment. Oh doesn’t Pelosi look as if she is in her most glorious “High” Chair Woman Moment with her blue dress and matching designer mask. If the American people wanted to see sharks in frenzy they would…

No class in defeat

Dear Editor, The “Trump supporter who warns of liberal communists” feels it is delusional to think Hillary Clinton displayed grace in loss, as a writer implies. I would ask you to give u your opinion of Trump’s behavior in loss especially the 6th of January uprising which Trump orchestrated and initially refused to intervene, until he finally was persuaded he said to the crowed, “go home in peace” only after repeating the lie, “I won … the election was stolen.” Earlier, while listening to Limbaugh and Gorka on the radio, I heard Antifa mentioned several times, however the television coverage…

MCSC is ill-conceived

Dear Editor, The pending proposal to the Mohave County Board of Supervisors to designate Mohave County a Constitutional Sanctuary County (MCSC) is not simply redundant, since we live in a nation governed by a Constitution, but also absurdly ill-conceived. This proposed declaration appears to be based upon a group of citizens whose goal is to monitor governmental overreach and is currently focused on COVID19 restrictions. Their contention is that current restrictions regarding COVID19 violate their constitutionally guaranteed rights. I ask ’what about other’s rights to continue to live? Are these people’s right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness…
