Letter: Advice for advisors: Remember who speaks for God

In regard to the published (S-E, Monday, 29 Jan.) letter to the editor of advice for new Latter-day Saint Apostle Kearon, I have some advice for such self-proclaimed advisors, and others who do not understand the workings of God and the scriptures. The Bible and scriptures are of a spiritual ...

Letter: A path toward an assured 2024 presidential victory

I believe the country would embrace a Mitt Romney / Jon Huntsman presidential ticket. Both have served as State Governors. Huntsman having served both Republican and Democratic presidents as ambassador to both China and Russia. Mitt as our State Senator and Olympics Games problem solver. Both ...

Letter: Contact commissioners to oppose Weber inland port

Think of the Amazon warehouse on I -15 in Farr West. Since 2022, it has sat empty and unused. Adjacent to it is the BDO (Business Depot Ogden), an industrial and business center. It covers 1118 acres, and still has room to grow. Now imagine the area in Weber County, only a few miles from the ...

Letter: Utah Jazz leadership jettisoning quality players again

Here we go again. Danny Ainge and Jazz management have just traded away three better Jazz players. Kelly Olynyk, Simone Fontecchio and Ochai Agbaji will no longer wear Jazz jerseys. Night after night Jazz announcers Craig Bolerjack and Thurl Bailey have praised Kelly Olynyk, calling him the ...

Letter: Shouldn’t felonies disqualify the commander-in-chief?

How is it that an ordinary citizen is not allowed to join our country's military with a felony on their record, yet a former president with 4 indictments and 91 felony counts can run for the position of commander-in-chief of the armed forces? This doesn't make sense to me; does it make sense to ...

Letter: Please incorporate railings into community infrastructure

"This is my story, this is my song" — us old folks need rails so we can hold on. True story, hand rails that are sturdy are a must at both city and county arenas (in-doors and out-doors) so the older generation can avoid a tumble. Any place that has stairs for public use should be evaluated ...

Letter: Why so mad about CO2? All life depends on it to survive

I could not believe what I was reading in the Opinion Page a couple mornings ago. “A reader’s urgent plea to halt sale of CO2 carbonated beverages.” What the heck? Someone actually believes that by not drinking carbonated beverages CO2 will be reduced? Are they serious? CO2 is the gas of ...

Letter: Vexed by 2024 legislative session and the money giveaway

A lot of bills already introduced in the 2024 State Legislature Session. A tax break is one the Legislators and the State is attempting to put into effect — it calls for a reduction in the State Income Tax. Keep in mind that this tax cut applies only to those of us that actually pay State ...

Letter: Evangelicals’ hypocrisy displayed in support for sinner Trump

Evangelical Christians in America promote sexual morality, honesty in business dealings, criminal justice, truth-telling, oath keeping, and the saving grace of Jesus Christ. However, evangelical leaders today support a presidential candidate who has been found liable for sexual assault and ...
