And the Russians are laughing

Dear Editor, Many years ago in Washington, D.C., far, far away, a president was elected in the land. Some of the people rejoiced, others said, nay! They were up in arms. “We shall insist he be impeached he was not born in the United States, but Kenya.” They also questioned his immigration policies, Libya, and Benghazi. Their fearless leader in the Senate vowed to make him a one-term president. Meanwhile the Russians sat back and laughed, their plan was working. Today, talk of impeachment engulfs our president, and again the Russians laugh. Their plan is still working, even better than…

Welcome to Dystopia

Dear Editor, Dystopia, Per Merriam Webster: an imagined world or society in which people lead wretched, dehumanized, fearful lives. Dystopia is no longer an imagined society or world coming full speed our way. Just take a look at the misery and suffering of the millions of homeless on the streets of our once great nation. Look closely at the once great state of California and the conditions there. The politicians who believe in societal engineering and the rewards of socialism are still proud, if you can believe that, of the condition of their state. It can take a while to…

It’s the electoral college’s fault

Dear Editor, Did it ever occur to those who are incensed over this Trump impeachment fiasco, the entire thing could have been avoided, if not for the outdated electoral college system we have in this country?

News anxiety outlet through discussion

Dear Editor, To anyone paying attention to today’s current events it can easily make one feel confused, simply anxiously overwhelmed, unsettled or outright afraid. To address this I suggest a weekly, or bi-weekly, current events discussion group be available here in Kingman. We have an outstanding local resource to make this happen …. our local college – MCC! I imagine the above-mentioned group to be facilitated by an MCC staff. This discussion group may provide a resource to help answer questions you have or just provide a constructive format and outlet to lower your ”news anxiety.” Don’t continue to blunder…
