      The state of Israel is doing to the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank what Germany did to its ancestry. A genocide. It’s horrifying to see such suffering and heartbreaking to know that no one is stopping it. Our leadership in this country is the worst in Trump and his rotten soul. Howev…

        Letter: Life cycle matters

          Tuesday's Opinion pages contained diverse views on end of life. National Catholic Register's cartoon depicted states' Assisted Suicide Laws as marring "Respect for Life". An early Alzheimer victim wrote of his plans to go to Switzerland to access assisted suicide not available here.

            Letter: The Trump of doom

              I had a dream of the Trump of Doom last night. He appeared as a great shambling, orange-coiffed mythical Big Foot. The number 47 glowed red on his forehead, followed by a pulsing MAGA.

              Letter: WHY, WHY

              Letter: WHY, WHY

                An interesting LTE dated Aug. 15 listed a number of sayings, on of which caught my eye. That saying was “Why do people with no experience in education think they can be education administrators? And why do we vote for them?”. Taken a face value, this is an euridite statement. However, when e…

                  Aircraft carrier, Abraham Lincoln, with 5000 sailors on board has been at sea for 250 consecutive days. This is a new record for deployment. The usual number of days is 30-45.

                    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.
