Wake up, America
Dear Editor,
Hamas executed seven hostages because they knew Israel’s IDF was coming to rescue them. Shooting someone in the back of the head at close range is an execution. Why then are people all over the world blaming Israel for everything?
It is Israel’s fault because Hamas will not negotiate a peace. Why would Hamas negotiate a peace when the whole world is backing them on their massacre of the Jews/Israelis on October 7 as well as blaming the Jews/Israelis for being massacred.
On the first day without X, many Brazilians say they feel disconnected from the world
SAO PAULO (AP) — The blocking of social media platform X in Brazil divided users and politicians over the legitimacy of the ban, and many Brazilians on Saturday had difficulty and doubts over navigating other social media in its absence.
Be careful what you chuckle over
We hear so many numbers that we forget how large single digits can be —especially when followed by a percent sign. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has left the 2024 presidential race, but his polling numbers could still cause havoc on Election Day. Those votes could be channeled to Donald Trump. If you weren’t voting for Kennedy anyway, his recent “Bear-in-central-park” story might register as nothing more than a chuckle. If you’re a Trump supporter, Kennedy’s exit is likely good news, but future rogue third-party hopefuls remain capable of complicating both Democratic and Republican plans. If Harris-Walz wins in November but struggles

Creeping Globalism by Foreign Trade Zones
Dear Editor,
This last Arizona primary election on July 30, we only had a 32.31% turnout of voters.
Commentary on Johnson letter
Dear Editor,
I could not agree more with Mr. Michael Johnson‘s piece in last week’s Standard more. I too am thankful and have thanked the City Council and have walked the street during the Beale Street rebuild to personally thank all those amazingly hard-working construction people who worked so tirelessly to get our new downtown put together.
Voting matters – now, more than ever
Dear Editor,
I have always been a music fan, especially live music, and I recall a particularly frigid night in January ’82 when friends and I loaded into cars and headed for the Meadowlands to see The Kinks (a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame “British invasion” band). To escape the cold parking lot, we went inside to watch the opening band. Halfway through the set we realized, “This guy isn’t bad.”
Competition and the freedom to choose – cars, hamburgers, schools, and ice cream
Dear Editor,
In 1975, I bought a four-cylinder Chevrolet Monza. In my opinion in was a terrible buy and a lousy car. There was one episode after another of maintenance issues and the four-cylinder engine was just a piece of junk.

Red Lake … a magnet for misuse
Dear Editor,
I am surprised to note just how many outside interests are drawn to our county solely for access to the Red Lake Playa for their (very un-apologetic) monetary gain.
