There is no king in America—only a President elected to serve the people
Dear Editor,
When I see another “No Kings” rally pop up, it tells me one thing: President Trump must be doing something right. There is no king in America—only a President elected to serve the people, protect our security, and defend our way of life.

Easter, Savannah Guthrie, Tiger Woods and You
Dear Editor,
Millions of people around the world will celebrate Easter on Sunday.
When I was a child, I enjoyed watching my mother color eggs. She would boil them, let them cool and the color them. Numerous family members would gather at my grandparents and we would hide and hunt Easter eggs.

Why losing a pet hurts so deeply
Dear Editor,
In a town like ours, where people look out for one another, we do not talk enough about why losing a pet is so devastating. Some say, “she was just a dog,” but anyone who has cared for an aging or terminally ill companion knows there is nothing “just” about it.

What’s up with What-kins?
Dear Editor,
Before Mayor Ken Ellery Watkins took office, the city had some reasonable semblance in the concept of balanced growth and sustainability with manageable stress on the frail infrastructure. That has radically changed, and I blame Mayor Ken What-kins.

Taxation without representation
Dear Editor,
I moved to Kingman from Idaho in November. I enjoy smaller towns. I was surprised to see my first electric bill as it had nine different taxes and surcharges on it which caused it to go from $90 to $310.

Use your voice!
Dear Editor,
Hey friends, and neighbors! On March 28 I will be going to a peaceful “No Kings” Protest, and I welcome you all to join. The purpose is simple: to reaffirm the American principle that no one is above the Constitution, and that public office is a duty, not a crown.

Iran, no peaceful day, there or here
Dear Editor,
I am ready for the Iran war to be over. I wasn’t ready for it to start. War always means the loss of human life. The families and friends of those who have been killed will suffer emotionally for the rest of their lives. Children have now lost parents. Spouses have lost mates.

Eat beans, not beings
Dear Editor,
Eat beans, not beings. A major new global study published in Nature Food maps how food production is driving deforestation and climate warming carbon emissions across nearly every country on Earth.

Hear ye, hear ye
Dear Editor,
It’s widely apparent the predominant reason behind this “City Hall Crew” scurrying in many directions is to demonstrate and perform a charade of many activities which in the normal course of events should have occurred without hesitation. This election drops many facets of challenge to these incumbents.
