Letter: Withering media

Letter: Withering media

  • Arne Maki, Green Valley

That Brenden Carr, FCC Chair, is moving to put a foot on the throat of free speech comes as no surprise. He is falling in line with the authoritarian playbook Trump has mastered.

Letter: Bring em back alive

Letter: Bring em back alive

  • Philip Reinecker, East side

Wonderkind Trump has achieved the impossible again. He recently stated that a new drug can and has brought dead people back to life. He did not give the name of the drug or disclose any clinical evidence but his word should be enough, shouln't it? This clown could never make it in a circus t…

Letter: Republican Priorities

Letter: Republican Priorities

  • Gary Haslett, SaddleBrooke

Kevin Hassertt, Trump appointed Director of the National Economic Council, was asked about credit card debt. Credit card debt and delinquencies are at the highest levels in the last 15 years.

Letter: Bored Of Peace

Letter: Bored Of Peace

  • Gary Haslett, SaddleBrooke

The official World Bank account for the Board (which should be bored) of Peace has zero dollars. This is account has independent oversight and requires public reporting. But, in true Donald Trump fashion, the Board of Peace has opened another account with JP Morgan. This account operates wit…

Letter: Our debriefing

Letter: Our debriefing

  • Ron Lancaster, North side

Donald Trump is nobody’s prize now. We are his. He makes a fool of us citizens everywhere he travels and everything he says. Putting his foot in his mouth translates to putting that foot in our backside.

Letter: And a Child Shall Lead Them

Letter: And a Child Shall Lead Them

  • Richard Rebl, East side

Anyone who has raised children knows the following reframes, "Mommy, he’s calling me names”, or “she’s looking at me” and of course the ultimate travesty, “they’ll being mean to me”. Generally, as children get older, these accusations dwindle when they become a mature adult; I would respectf…

Letter: PEACEFUL PROTESTS

Letter: PEACEFUL PROTESTS

  • Loyal M Johnson Jr, Oro Valley

Would one of our esteemed liberal LTEers please define what Constitutionally protected freedom of speech entails. Watching the activities at the Delaney Hall in New Jersey does not appear to be peaceful protest. The Governor of NJ, Mikie Sherrill notes that many of the protesters are not loc…

Letter: Petroleum reserves

Letter: Petroleum reserves

    Under Trumps direction the United States is drawing down a significant portion of our Strategic Petroleum Reserves and selling at least half to overseas interests. This while the price of our gasoline is so high that many are suffering trying to pay for it. Are there any words to explain how…

        GOING TO THE DARK SIDE

        Letter: Trump

        Letter: Trump

          It is amazing the amount of people who do not understand the man Trump. He is a businessman and therefore is driven by wealth. If you look at the IRAN war you can come to two conclusions; 1 The Iranians have him in a dog and pony show ( in many ways the Vietnam war was handled the same way).…

          Letter: Weaponization at work!

          Letter: Weaponization at work!

            Critics of Bill Pulte, Trump's nominee as Director of National Intelligence, claim that he has no relevant experience in the job. The grandson of Pulte Homes founded a private equity investment company and served on the board of Pulte Homes for four years.

            Letter: Texas Senate Race

            Letter: Texas Senate Race

              In Texas Ken Paxton, who has been impeached and indicted for various illegal activities, as well as his wife divorcing him for having an affair, won the republican primary by being 100% Trump. His democratic opponent is James Talarico, former teacher who is now a Presbyterian minister. He is…

              Letter: The new pandemic is coming

              Letter: The new pandemic is coming

                Well, here we are again Deja vu with Trump. Trump has pulled the United States of America out of any funding or help with the World Health Organization (WHO) and African Continent is under siege with Ebola. Who, no pun intended, does Trump have in control, the vaccine denier, snake charmer, …

                Letter: American History 101

                Letter: American History 101

                One time in history, a group of likeminded man came together with a revolutionary idea that all men are equal with liberty/justice/happiness for all. They declared their independence as sovereign states. They started small with a tea party. Battles in Concord/Lexington. Meetings of a second …

                Letter: Trump’s Scam-O-Rama

                Letter: Trump’s Scam-O-Rama

                Trump’s slush fund, Only in America!

                Letter: It takes a Divider

                Letter: It takes a Divider

                Re: letter "It takes a nation" reminds us that the 2024 presidential election was democratically held - not stolen, not rigged, was free and fair. So was the 2020 election, proven over and over. Reminder: Democrats accepted the 2024 results, unlike Republicans in 2020. Trump has spent over s…

                Letter: Diversion Excursion

                Letter: Diversion Excursion

                To divert from the Epstein File and Ice atrocities, Trump attacked Iran. To divert from the Iran debacle, inflation and billions in unnecessary military spending, there is the billion dollar ballroom. To divert from the ball room disaster, he drained the reflecting pool. To divert from the r…

                Letter: Trump’s Lack of an Iran Plan,

                Letter: Trump’s Lack of an Iran Plan,

                Well, here we are again Deja vu with Trump. In 2018 Trump tears up and cancels the Obama Iran Nuclear Agreement that allowed for monitoring and ensued that Iran DID NOT get a bomb. Why, who the hell knows, maybe as always everything Obama is BAD and everything Trump is Good. So, in his first…

                Letter: Ballroom Budget and Beyond,

                Letter: Ballroom Budget and Beyond,

                When I build or design a new feature for my house, I get a minimum of three (3) bids and then look at resumes, timelines, prices etc. Then I put together a budget to pay for it and get permission from the Boss to OK construction. You must ask yourself where is the budget POTUS, was Congress …

                Letter: Bad Idea

                Letter: Bad Idea

                The stable genius, and Whiskey Pete are being played like fools by whoever convinced them that attacking Iran was a good idea. Closing off the Strait of Hormuz did nothing but stop the flow of oil from the Middle East to neutral countries around the world. The strait is not in international …

                It is a supreme irony that, as noted on 05/02 the U.S. Mint is issuing a coin for our upcoming birthday with Liberty's face on it. As many many people in the country neither know nor care Liberty is saying "Give me your poor, your weak, your huddled masses yearning to be free". Today that qu…

                This week, in Duluth, the Minnesota Republicans reached a new low, which most people thought not possible. At the state convention second day opening, attendees stood and took a moment of silence to honor Derick Chauvin, the police officer tried and convicted of killing George Floyd. This co…

                Letter: bombs or brains

                Our President seems to be crumbling right before our TV sets. Now he’s got problems with the monuments he hopes to erect to his own glory that even the congressmen he owns are souring on. His war with Iran is proving to be a trap. He found out bombs do not replace brains.

                Letter: Where's Juan?

                Letter: Where's Juan?

                Since those giant Juan Ciscomani signs are popping up at every intersection, I guess it's safe to assume he's still somewhere in Arizona. You would never know it when you try to get a response from his office, other than a form letter about how he's fighting for all of us. He's MIA. Have we …

                Letter: The Blame Game

                Republicans say that Democrats have no platform other than being anti-Trump. Looking back at the last 17 months, I think that is enough for me. However, I find it hypocritical when every time a Republican spokesperson is faced with a question about the Iran War (yes, it is a war), inflation,…

                Letter: The Golden Age

                Recall Trump's meme of him flying overhead, dropping excrement onto people below. That's exactly what he's been doing in reality - crapping on the country and on Americans non-stop. His egregious grifting, use of office for personal gain - bilking us out of billions of tax dollars. Erecting …

                Letter: Trumps health

                The report that Trump's in great health should be taken with a grain of sand. Historically Presidents health problems have been hidden from the public. Roosevelt's poor state of health was shielded from the electorate, he died months after last elected. Kennedy had Addison's disease, back pr…
