Food for thought: Donald Trump: In his 1987 book The Art of the Deal, he shared a business philosophy, writing, "Good publicity is preferable to bad, but from a bottom-line perspective, bad publicity is sometimes better than no publicity at all." What with all of his Media coverage over the …

The movie “Dr. Strangelove or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb” is a black comedy. Watch it, especially if you like Peter Sellers. The plot features delusional and inept people. They include the military chain of command starting at the President and on through the Secretary …

I was taken aback by the statements made by the sponsors of Arizona SB 1418. Republican Frank Carroll publicly declared, “I don’t buy into being overly cautious because that’s not necessary here.” Similarly, Republican House Majority Leader Michael Carbone suggested that storing spent fuel r…

As a Democrat, I was heartened to read self-identified Republican Barbara Toohey’s letter on May 28 about the Karla Toledo case. In a world where we often only hear about how people disgaree on immigration issues, it’s encouraging to see that issues of common sense and humani decency can bri…

Arlington National Cemetery was created after the Civil War as sacred ground dedicated to sacrifice, reconciliation, and national unity. Now Donald Trump wants to erect a 250-foot triumphal arch nearby, a massive structure that would dwarf both the Lincoln Memorial and much of Washington’s h…

Trump has been a failure all his life. The only thing he is good for is convincing exceptional stupid people that he is successful. But he is not.
The wind blows and the weather shifts radically. The forest burns and is renewed. But America the faithless, America the underworked and over-stimulated just keeps plodding along in ignorance and violence while the republic sinks into oblivion.
Recently the Star printed a letter to the editor criticizing Sterr Kerr’s political stance on Israel. The letter writer suggested that Kerr knows little about the middle east. In fact, “Kerr’s father was an American university professor specializing in the Middle East and the Arab world. He …
I know these are hard economic times, and store shortages affect us all. But there must be a huge store shortage of Blinker Fluid in Tucson, since no one uses their blinkers to signal lane changes, turns, anything. Just turn left across 3 lanes of traffic. I’ve even seen Semi’s do it! Look, …
For anyone who wanted to do something after reading Jaynie Parrish’s piece about plummeting SNAP resources in AZ, look no further than the midterm elections. The Arizona House and Senate both have Republican majorities, and almost all of those have Republicans have voted to support DC politi…
Some Americans are happy or unconcerned with the actions of the Trump administration: 1) the mass homicides (196) with military strikes in the Caribbean Sea for alleged drug-trafficking with no trial; 2) destruction of the East Wing and billions for a ballroom; 3) a $1.8 billion slush fund f…
Wow our president has now had FOUR attempts on his life……Why?
For a man who is third in line in presidential succession, Mike Johnson seems to not know much. It has been documented that on dozens of occasions, when asked about an important topic such as Trump’s gross memes, January 6 felons getting payments, Trump’s negotiations with Iran, the Epstein …

Where have all the red hats gone? Displaying their ignorance twofold, I used to see them at social gatherings (who's Emily Post?)
The first thing let's do, let's kill all the [Trump] Lawyers!
Donald Trump brags about his actions being biggest and best in history. He now has legitimate claim to one. His deal between the DOJ and IRS could easily be the most corrupt act by a president in US History.

Trump’s hardcore cult supporters will never believe he lies or breaks a promise. All we can do is continue to point out his lies to those people who still have an open mind. Now that January 6 is on our minds because of the total corrupt payoff deal made by the DOJ, Trump has started to repe…
Did anyone else read that Project Blue data center will use groundwater for a data center? We realize that Arizona does not have excess water and the Colorado River is drying up but some leaders have a larger desire for money instead of a concern for the citizens ability to have water. What …
For several years it has been my privilege to participate with others in the Memorial Day services at Tucson cemeteries – this year at Eastlawn and marked by the hymn “Mansions of the Lord” performed beautifully by the Sons of Orpheus. Some years ago (different organizers) we had a negative …

Driving from Dove Mountain to Target on Ina, I have to endure miles & miles of political signs. Is bigger better? For me, the answer is simple: NO. Ciscomani has the largest signs & the most with 22 by the time I got to Ina Road. My thought: does he have such a high opinion of himsel…
A matter of concern has arisen among voters in Arizona’s Legislative District 17: that being, where does our representative, Rachel Keshel, actually reside?
Arizona's schools consistently are ranked 48 - 50 when compared to the rest of the country. Recent articles relate success to the lack of funding, that is a factor but never have I read a critique of the curriculum or the lack of discipline in the class. Allowing students to have cell phones…
When I take a shower, all I have to do is look down to realize I am a male. With that in mind, I also realize that I will never conceive a child, breast feed a child, or have a period. No matter how much I may wish to be a different sex, basic biology absolutely forbids it. One can wish all …
