Stop the hate, start to love 

Dear Editor, Anger, resentment, jealousy and hate are terribly draining emotions. If you have any of these going on in your life then you’re going to be tired most of the time. They can be mentally exhausting.  Maybe you are free and clear of any of these. If so, you probably have a lot of good days and sleep better at night than people who constantly harbor ill will toward others.  All of these feelings are draining and don’t do anything positive for you. They don’t make life better. They don’t make you sleep or feel better. They don’t make…

Kingman Young Marines extends thanks

Dear Editor, The Kingman Marine Corps League has official closed our Toys For Tots program for 2023. With help from the greater Kingman area, we were able to provide toys to 387 families with a total of 1417 children.  We want to thank all of you who supported our TFT program for 2023.

How far should presidential immunity reach?

Dear Editor, Let us presume Donald Trump prevails in his argument, that as president he should be immune from prosecution, even if his action violates standard law. The question I have is, if he wins this inane argument. What in the world would this mean if Joe Biden ordered Seal Team Six to execute Trump, would Joe Bide not be held accountable because he is currently president? That would certainly put Trump out of the presidential race, but talk about dirty tactics! The MAGA’s would really have something to gripe about. Lloyd Dickson

Women and the abortion issue will decide the 2024 election outcome

Dear Editor, A woman has never told me she felt good about her abortion. For 39 years I served in pastoral roles in different places. I had numerous women tell me they felt like they had no choice. Some said they felt pressured to abort. Many were medical emergency situations and it was life or death for the mother.  A dear family I’ve known for a few years lost their daughter and the baby in what was supposed to be a delightful day of bringing a new baby into the world.  Things went terribly wrong and they both died. Twenty-five years…
