      Letter: Sharia Law in America

      Letter: Sharia Law in America

      • Haroon Amin, Southwest side

      The phrase “Sharia law” creates fear because of misinformation and media coverage. In reality, Sharia is a religious framework that guides Muslims in their personal lives.

      Letter: Stand up for Arizona’s National Monuments

      • Rob Arnberger, Northwest side

      Not only did the White House decimate two Utah National Monuments last month, but now Senator Mike Lee is attempting to speed up the destruction of Bears Ears even further. Clearly, this Administration is coming after National Monuments—and Arizona could be next.

      Letter: THE SHINING LIGHT

      • Loyal M Johnson Jr, Oro Valley

      Dolly Parton was the shining example of how, in the United States, any person can arise from the deepest depths of poverty and become an everlasting icon. Her story is not alone, realized by millions throughout our storied history. Sadly, a large number of Democrats reject this concept. Inst…

      • Loyal M Johnson Jr, Oro Valley

      The “Right to Vote” LTE on 8/27 bloviated regarding how the Trump Administration is threatening the right to vote for legal citizens. Really. Why is ensuring that every citizen who votes provides documentation to prove that they are a citizen is threat? The only reason one would oppose this …

          Letter: Finding water for the future

            We continue to look for water for the state of Arizona from outside our boundaries. Somehow California or Mexico is supposed to give us water out of the goodness of their hearts for incredible amounts of money but only when its convenient for them.

            Letter: New Rule: The River Gets the Last Word

            Letter: New Rule: The River Gets the Last Word

              Arizona must stop pretending growth and water scarcity are separate conversations. Every new subdivision and resident needs the one thing the desert cannot manufacture: water.

Their inflated oil transit numbers are pretty much straight out of the Trump administration PR, double what top independent oil tra…

                Letter: Democrats are Lost

                  A recent set of Democrat commercials showed something that everyone has denied, they are all using the same script. One goal for people being elected to Congress is the ability to think for themselves and yet that is hard to believe when they all say the same things. One commerical talks abo…

                  ABC is correct to fight against the FCC’s bullying | New York Daily News

                    Good going by ABC for suing the Federal Communications Commission and Chair Brendan Carr over his effort to require eight local ABC-owned broadcast stations (including New York, L.A. and Chicago) to submit to license renewals years ahead of schedule, announced just a day after President Donald Trump all but ordered Carr to do so as he raged against late night host Jimmy Kimmel.

                        Local opinion: A subscriber’s hope for the Arizona Daily Star

                        I read with genuine interest the Arizona Daily Star’s recent story about David Hoffmann’s investment in Lee Enterprises and his vision for local newspapers.

                        Local opinion: What leaders like John McCain understood about the truth

                        A defining moment from John McCain’s 2008 campaign is being revisited as a reminder of political integrity, highlighting the importance of correcting misinformation — even within one’s own party — in today’s polarized climate.
