                Letter: Remember 2020?

                • George Timson, Midtown

                According to multiple government agencies (“US warns about hacking effort aimed at water plants”, 8/20/26), artificial intelligence is being used to “compromise” basic American infrastructure. It’s now clear that A.I. has the power, “in the wrong hands”, to commit some drastic act of sabotag…

                  • Philip Reinecker, East side

                  Word is out that Trump may be named on a new aircraft carrier earlier scheduled to be named after Doris Miller. As you should know Miller, during the Pearl Harbor debacle rushed to a smoking deck and took control of an aircraft gun he had no training in. He opened fire on Japanese planes, do…

                  As the captain of a boat on the Maine coast, Turkey, Tonga, and the British Virgin Islands, I am well aware of "Duty, Honor, Responsibility, Leadership"--- the reasons a captain never abandons the ship. The captain not only has a moral responsibility, but this has been codified into maritime…

                  Froma Harrop’s take on Alexandrea Cortez, feels more like something that belongs in a gossip rag, than the opinion pages. She makes it sound like AOC is getting rich off the taxpayers dime.

                          100 Billion dollars paid to major corporations in rebates. I will not list them here because I want everyone reading this to research the numbers, maybe then you will believe it.

                          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?

                              Typically the occupant of the White House spends approximately 2.5 million dollars for its yearly maintenance. Trump is on line to spend 875 million dollars for the current year. He is like a child wanting every toy in every child's toybox except he has all money in the US government to back…

                                  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.

                                  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…

                                  The repeal of the "Law of the River" as suggested by an August 15 LTE is so much easier to propose than to achieve. About 30 American Indian tribes have had senior rights to the water long before the existence of the seven western states that are usually part of the Colorado River story. In …

                                  Pete Hegseth should go to Iran. It will all be over in a few days. Give him a ship. Give him a shield so he can play out his Captain America fantasies. Better test his testosterone before he goes, though, to make sure he’s manly enough for the mission.

                                  Is anyone else tired of reading about the intricate distinctions among capitalism, democratic socialism, socialism and communism? If so let’s address raw politics.

Biggs is playing a shell game with voters, proposing to cut one tax and increase another. It’s going to bite him. 30 years of Republican majority in AZ legislature proves they can't manage 5th grade math.
