        • Sandra Gassan Joubert, Northwest side

        In 1970 a low rated movie came out. It was the 2nd movie (maybe the reason not many remember it, other things were on their minds) at a local drive-in theater. It was called 'The Forbin Project'. Colossus, a supercomputer is created by Dr. Charles Forbin, and is built to control nuclear weap…

                Letter: The Price of Gas

                  A lot of the Democrat commercials refer to the cost of living and how the candidate will make prices the highest priority, but, claiming they oppose Pres Trump's war with Iran. Perhaps it is just a matter of not understanding the purpose of the war with Iran. First, Iran is the biggest suppo…

                    A recent photograph of Trumps ear that was allegedly struck by a bullet from a high powered rifle indicates no damage to the ear. Surprising because ear cartilage does not regenerate. But this is Trump. He just recently shot a 70 at his own golf course and went home with the trophy. A profes…

                      This week republican representative, Thomas Massie, introduced a bill to impeach Defense Secretary Pete “Big A” Hegseth for various offenses, including war crimes.

                        Do you trust AI? The response from AI provided that Arizona ranks 50th in overall public school quality in 2026. The first reaction is a willingness to believe based on rankings in previous years. Everyone in Tucson pays taxes that contribute to the education department and TUSD. Almost ever…

                        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.
