Do “Dog bites man” stories still exist?

Dear Editor,

Conrad Brean is a spin doctor for an American president in the 1997 movie Wag the Dog. Brean teams with Hollywood producer Stanley Motss to manufacture a war in Albania to distract voters from a sexual scandal involving the president. The election is in two weeks.

Brean works best under pressure and always speaks in generalities: “Why (war with) Albania? Why not?” Asked about this alleged Albanian crisis, Brean scoffs, “Well, I’m working on that.”

Dear Editor,

Wow, Ms. J.M., you seem to have much rage against Senator Vance and former President Trump. Your “facts” are in no way truthful to say the least. Misinformation in today’s speak.

This illusive phenomenon is both rhetorical and optical in perception but at the end of the day, the month or the years, the only ones being deceived are the good people of our town.

It was but merely a few days ago that I authored a very revealing publication calling out the city for its failure to communicate

A Better Choice for CD9

Dear Editor,

Arizona Congressional District 9 is one of the largest in the nation. It stretches from the West Valley to the California state line. From I-8 to the Utah state line. Despite its size, CD 9’s population is widespread and concentrated in a few densely populated areas including Goodyear, Surprise, Buckeye, Litchfield Park, Wickenburg, Yuma, Lake Havasu, Bullhead City and Kingman. It is vital that we are represented in Congress by a candidate who is competent and knowledgeable about the needs of the west side of our state.
