Congress must demonstrate what it takes to succeed 

Dear Editor, Life is fragile and doesn’t last very long, so we should try to enjoy every day.  Be good to yourself and be good to other people. Treat people the way you would like to be treated. Speak to people in a manner that you would like for them to speak to you. Treat motorists on the highway the way you want others to treat you.  If you can help someone in some way, then don’t miss the opportunity of being blessed by doing an act of kindness.  Forgive yourself and forgive others. Extend grace and move forward with…

An open letter to the City of Kingman, to the Mayor, to the Vice Mayor, to the City Manager, to all of the City Council members, and to the 68 downtown merchants, restaurants, bars, wine bars, breweries and sandwich shops

Mr. Josh Noble presented a flowery, paid for by the city, slide presentation to the City Council last week. Thank you to the council members who spoke up in favor of Downtown Kingman. Mr. Noble’s presentation was very nice, very professionally done, but Mr. Noble failed to tell you all the truth about the other 66 Fests around the country and to provide the City Council members, the mayor and others who have great interest in bringing our Route 66 Fest to Downtown Kingman, as it is being done in virtually every other locale throughout the country, where Route 66…

The crazy lady in the kitchen

Dear Editor, I just may be howling at the moon but what was that strange performance I saw on TV the other night with Katie Britt? I’m clueless to who she is other than she represented her party with their response to our President’s State of the Union address. After hearing his speech I was hopeful and uplifted, just what our country needs right now. But then came the crazy lady in the kitchen who referred to herself as “the mama on a mission,” acting and talking in a creepy kind of way that reminded one of that movie “The…

What about the size of your Snicker’s bar?

Dear Editor, In his State of the Union address, President Joe Biden referred to an American dilemma – the shrinking Snicker’s bar. He pointed out that his Snicker’s bar purchase had less or fewer Snickers. I’m not exactly sure what a Snickers is, nuts, chocolate, sugar, the content of the bar. Size matters, when you’re hungry. It’s just a bad thing when you stop at your local convenient store to buy a soda pop and you walk out with a Snicker’s bar that cost more but has less in the wrapper. Apparently, there must be less Fritos and Cheetos in…

Will you help “Make America Great Again

Dear Editor, Will you help “Make America Great Again”? Please go to the Mohave County Elections office, and request papers to be an elected Republican precinct committeeman. Just collect 10 signatures of registered Republicans in your neighborhood precinct and turn them in by 5pm on April 1st. That’s it. Then you will be able to be part of the team fighting to protect our Republic. Join me today, there’s not much time left. Per an official letter sent out by MCRCC, it appears that the Mohave County Central Committee is trying to rig the precinct committeeman election in favor of…
