Don’t we count

Dear Editor, What’s up with this? We go to school, work, pay our taxes and raise our children. We are now 75 years old and in fair health and retired. Cannot receive some tests because of our age. It’s very sad as we want to stay as healthy as possible until the Lord calls us home. Don’t we count anymore? What a pity. Gaynell C., Kingman

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…

Quality of life improves for group home residents

Dear Editor, My name is Jake and you’ve probably never met me or even heard of my plight. I am also willing to bet my next meal that many of you have never been to where my friends and I live.

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…
