What is occurring in our country right now is nothing more than an attack on what we stand for and our democracy.

The statements made by the Lake Havasu Patriots at the last county supervisors meeting were riddled with false conspiracy theories like “Kamala Harris will make Obama vice president,” calling people clowns and “liberal creeps,” and blatantly partisan, paranoid and extremist statements.

At this time of total chaos in our government I would urge the American people to remember Trump was elected as the guy that was going to restore the middle class.

We know about the outlandish political myths like QAnon, but how about the conventional ones?

As I see our nation so split I ask myself if we can do better and I say ‘yes,’ but it starts in our education system.

As I sit and watch the House proceedings to impeach President Trump I am overwhelmed with a deep, insidious sick feeling in my gut and a cosmic disturbance in my being.

In this day of law-enforcement bashing I want to tell of an incident that happened last week in our town with our sheriff’s office.

The pending proposal to the Mohave County Board of Supervisors to designate Mohave County a Constitutional Sanctuary County is not simply redundant, since we live in a nation governed by a Constitution, but also absurdly ill-conceived.

The “1776 resolution” being considered by the Mohave County Supervisors seems to be inspired by Alex Jones’ rhetoric and theatrics who has the date “1776” placed on many of InfoWar’s products.

The Mohave County Board of Supervisors is considering a resolution declaring the county a “Constitutional Sanctuary County” to counter “unconstitutional” COVID-19 executive orders from Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, as well as state-imposed lockdowns and potential federal mask mandates.

Well, Arizona has entered the slippery slope leading to a socialistic/communistic state.

If President Biden secures a deal with Iran or North Korea, it must provide for immediate inspection of any site suspected of being in violation.

For over a year now cattle have been roaming our streets and yards in Vista Bella.

Constitutional sanctuary county? Really? We, along with every other county in the country, are already a constitutional sanctuary county in that no laws can be made to conflict with our United States Constitution!

As I sit in my study this New Year’s Eve and reflect on the devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020, I can’t help but express my deep regret to millions of people throughout the world who were afflicted by it.

The United States Constitution is already the law of the land, so it seems a bit redundant to declare Mohave County as a "Constitutional Sanctuary County."

Happy New Year, Mohave County.

I am writing to express my gratitude to our local librarians for all they do to better our community.

I feel Congress and the president are too snug during COVID 19, adding bills or laws to a stimulus bill. There are many people hurting but they are not hurting.

So Congress and the Senate – half are already millionaires or will be worth that much before they retire – bitch about handing out $2,000 to citizens who elected them to serve us.

I’m not sure I can write a Letter to the Editor and have a stroke at the same time but I’m going to try.

Nearly 70 million Americans will see a 1.3% increase in their Social Security benefits and SSI payments in 2021.

On Dec. 1, 2020 former President Barack Obama stated on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert what a third term as president would look like.

The Arizona Legislature does not need a two-thirds majority nor does it require the authorization of the governor to call a special session to appoint electors.

I am 82 years old, on oxygen 24/7, and have some chronic medical issues.
