Occasionally we all feel like we are living in a rut. Our days and weeks are filled with the same activities and schedules. We mow grass, rake leaves, clean the house, sweep out the garage and do the same jobs. We go to the same grocery store on a certain day, wash our car at the same place and see the same people along the way. We go to the same place of worship, and read the same daily or weekly newspaper. Our lives are made up of routines, schedules and the usual. Occasionally we get bored with the usual…

Dear Editor, On October 8, at 12:00 p.m., at the Mohave County Building located at 700 W. Beale St. in Kingman, I went to the Board of Supervisor meeting with a group of Mohave County residents. A few days prior to this meeting, I had made this meeting public on social media so that others would know about it and attend. When we got there, security guards and Sheriff deputies were already there. We were denied access to this public meeting, and according to them, we were blocked from entering under the orders of the county supervisors. We were adamantly…

Dear Editor, In a tweet, President Trump instructs Treasury Secretary Mnuchin to stop negotiations on a new stimulus plan with House Speaker Pelosi until after the election.

Dear Editor: The biggest problem with democracy is that an ill-informed and poorly educated electorate can vote their way into tyranny in a single election. That election is upon us. The Democratic party and its disastrous socialist ideas will destroy our wonderful, unique nation. They seek a one-party state with no room for opposing opinions. The spawn of our institutions of higher indoctrination are okay with this, the rest of us should not be. This election is not about Trump or Biden, it is about our freedom and liberty versus the Marxist model of the state making all decisions for…

Dear Editor, I want to thank first of all The Standard newspaper for the privilege of allowing me to share week after week with the people of faith and others in Mohave County. Thank you all very much. Today I’ll be brief, as I call every Christian or all red blooded Americans, of faith or not, to heed what is happening here in America and globally. I want to draw your attention to a few terms, hoping that you’ll educate yourself on what is transpiring. Most people are unaware as I was, until a couple of years ago. These terms…
