        Socialism gets rebranded every generation with new faces and a catchy slogan. But the pitch stays the same: This time will be different.

            • Shirley Pevarnik, West side

            When we stopped confronting people who used the word illegal rather than undocumented, we gave those who wanted to separate us and blame others great power. Republican leaders, like Trump, knew just how to use it for their own power. Not having papers was and still is a simple misdemeanor. B…

                Letter: Trump and his maybe morals

                  We know that Trump must pay a woman over five million dollars because of his sexual abuse and defamation. How can we, in any way shape or form say this demented person is someone we want leading our nation?

                        Trump has sided with Russia, North Korea and Saudi Arabia. And now is against Canada, Mexico, South Korea and other allies. Tell me with a straight face that he is not a traitor to the American people.

                          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
