Dear Editor, I’ve never bought a copy of The National Enquirer. However, I’ve read from it some down through the years. If I’ve been standing in a grocery store checkout line for a few minutes then the tabloid has been a source of comic fodder. It’s always been a good comic book.  I’ve never read anything in the publication that I took as gospel truth. Typically, the headlines have been something sensational like, “Green Creatures from Mars Visit the White House,” or, “76-year-old woman has triplets. Democrats blame it on George H.W. Bush.”  The former publisher David Pecker, recently admitted…

Dear Editor, Mr. Dickson, I agree we should elect politicians that work for the people! Yes, Kingman and Mohave County in general is considered one of the most conservative counties in Arizona. You believe Capitalism isn’t regulated?  This current administration has nothing but overregulate since day one. You talk about wealth disparity.

Too many patriotic American heroes…

Dear Editor, Throughout the centuries there’s never been any amount of cruelties done to women and girls without some kind of justification in some way or another. It’s so sad but true. So then is it any wonder that millions of females of all ages have taken to the streets, once again, yelling and screaming for their rights. Roe vs Wade was their safety net to protect their physical, mental and environmental well-being from unplanned pregnancy. It’s ridiculous and outrageous to think were still stuck in this age-old question; what rights does a woman have with her own body? It’s…

Dear Editor, Just about everyone who drives throughout Mohave County on a daily basis will see other drivers violating traffic laws. Using your turn signal while driving is not only a legal requirement but also a fundamental aspect of road safety. The turn signal, also known as the blinker, is a small lever located on the steering column that allows drivers to indicate their intention to turn left or right. It is a simple yet crucial device that can prevent accidents, reduce confusion, and promote a smoother flow of traffic. The importance of using your turn signal while driving can…
