Trump is a loser (again)

Dear Editor,

To traitor Trump’s psychotic supporters, if there’s a Hell below, then all of you misogynistic MAGA morons are going to go!

Those without shelter deserve a stable place to live

The Mirage

Dear Editor,

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place, that is the mirage that the people of Kingman have been facing for decades when addressing the City Council. 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
