The Arizona Legislature passes many birdbrained bills, but the one promoting small nuclear plants takes the cake. Nukes require huge amounts of water to cool them. Do we have any water to spare? Nukes often pollute the groundwater with deadly radioactivity. The now-closed plant in Vermont le…

Efforts to sell off or privatize our public land seem to be coming at us from all sides lately. As a passionate fly fisherman and member of Trout Unlimited, I鈥檝e fought back against each one and worked hard to keep my community informed. That鈥檚 why I applaud Representative Ciscomani (R-AZ) f…

I know! It's like beating a dead horse but I think that it is funny (ironic) that anything that goes against his perceptions is "fake news" or rigged, but on the other hand, if it's something that he agrees with or satisfies his ideas, well not a peep about impropriety. This is only my opini…

Why are Christian Nationalists so concerned with what happens in other people's bedrooms? They don't seem concerned with the mistreatment of other people or the removal of food from hungry children or the blatant verbal attacks on anyone who disagrees or the removal of historical documents a…

During the Biden Administration, 450,000 underage children were allowed into the country with little or no vetting of the sponsors. The same Administration lost track of those children, obviously showing no concern for those underage children or their fate. Can there be any worse, more heino…

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 …
This Sunday, as part of the Republican attack machine, Marc Short referred to the Democratic Senate candidate from Maine, Graham Platner as a nazi and child sex trafficker.
The movie 鈥淒r. Strangelove or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb鈥 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, 鈥淚 don鈥檛 buy into being overly cautious because that鈥檚 not necessary here.鈥 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鈥檚 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鈥檚 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鈥檚 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.
We are not being governed. We are being looted.

I awake and remember what is happening all around me.
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鈥檚 political stance on Israel. The letter writer suggested that Kerr knows little about the middle east. In fact, 鈥淜err鈥檚 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鈥檝e even seen Semi鈥檚 do it! Look, …
For anyone who wanted to do something after reading Jaynie Parrish鈥檚 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鈥︹hy?
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鈥檚 gross memes, January 6 felons getting payments, Trump鈥檚 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鈥檚 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…
