Trump won the 2016 election: NO FRAUD. Trump won the 2024 election: NO FRAUD. Trump lost the 2020 election: FRAUD. Selective, convenient fraud, used to frighten future voters, disenfranchise voters, control future elections. Rather than create a Republican platform which meets our needs, cry…

So Pete Hegseth wants to test all military members for testosterone. How much will that cost? If they have a low T score, Pete says the government will provide testosterone medication. What are the long term effects of this therapy. Cancer is one of them.
While the headline "Fighting for common ground" is something of a contradiction in terms, your front page feature on the ground-breaking collaboration between Ron Barber and Don Henninger is inspiring for those of us who are done with hollow ideological and political labels and are seeking c…
Todays LTEs, July 23, were a new record for the STAR. 100% vitriolic, hate filled rants condemning the present Administration on a wide variety of actions. No balance, no consideration of fact, no thoughtful evaluation of the reason this country is still the greatest country in the world to …
Spain’s 1-0 victory over Argentina in the World Cup final wasn’t the most entertaining match but still served as the culmination of a monthlong celebration that spanned the North American continent. From Vancouver to Miami, Los Angeles to Mexico City, the three host nations collaborated to produce an experience that was as thrilling on the field as it was entertaining off it.
To our readers:
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.
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.

When the White House sent thousands of armed immigration agents into Minneapolis earlier this year, it followed a playbook pioneered in Chicago. Now both cities are adding up the cost from those Department of Homeland Security surges and struggling to put the damage behind them.
