Return to God or death to America

Dear Editor, Today I am very sad because of the state of affairs in America. It almost makes me think we have returned to the days of the Roman Empire. We are destroying ourselves from within. Jesus said, “A house divided against itself will not stand.” This division between the people of this country is appalling. So much hatred and mistrust, no wonder there are so many mass killings going on. And they put the blame on Trump. Who did they blame when Obama was president? There was quite a few mass shootings then too. It’s not the fault of…

Schiff blasts Democrats

Dear Editor, For the last several years I’ve been aware that, since I’m a Trump supporter, the coastal elites the media and the Democrat Party consider me a “deplorable”. But over the last few weeks I guess I have, despite being married to a Latina, morphed into a new species – a white Nationalist.  Since I know a lot of fellow deplorables, but not any white Nationalists, I’ve given a lot of thought as to how and why the media, desperate to oust Trump and defeat Republicans by “any means necessary” is so enamored of the term. Elections are in…

Bubba Jo opines about oppression, discrimination and the planned government sterilization of his family

My name is Bubba Jo and I have lived in Mohave County for more than 20 years with my family and other relatives. Yes, my last name is being withheld to protect my anonymity. I believe there could be possible retaliation by our government since I am exercising my First Amendment Rights. Yes, I fear for the safety of my family, friends and me. First off, I must tell you that I don’t have any formal education and I don’t know how to read or write. However, through my family’s oral history passed down from generation to generation, I understand…

Freedom

Dear Editor, From now until the election next year you will periodically be hearing from me. Before you think I’m some nut that came out of the woodwork, a little history about me. My family came with the second wagon train to the Oregon Territory and settled Grand Round Oregon. Some of them started the largest cheese factory in Oregon – Tillamook – and others the Alpenrose Dairy. I was the first vice president of my local Junior Chamber of Commerce group. I helped plan teen recreation centers across the nation, sponsored by J.C.’s, and was the local director for…
