Letter: Advocating for increased law and order in America

I am so tired of reading and watching people steal, rob, kill and burn things in America. We have an opened border and Congress will do nothing. People rob stores with no consequences. We have 100,000 fentanyl deaths, and Congress does nothing. We have near bankruptcy with a national debt of 35 ...

Letter: You can trust that elections in the US are secure

As regards Bill Heersink's letter on March 14 in which he says he is unsure how to know if the 2020 election was the victim of fraud and how can he trust elections with this doubt? Mr. Heersink, there are a number of ways you can feel secure about the election. Claims of fraud in 2020 have ...

Charen: The ‘criminal immigrant’ canard

President Joe Biden chose to scrap a bit with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene at the State of the Union — a choice that should remind us of the old saw, "Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it." Greene has two modes: heckling and lying. This time, she was doing both by ...

Letter: Let’s all follow the Golden Rule when making choices

My favorite color is periwinkle blue. Well, really it is a combination of periwinkle blue and a dark purple. My daughter loves lime green and orange. Really?

Letter: Make America great again – When exactly was that?

I just have a simple question: When WAS America great? Was it great when the explorers and newcomers came over and took the land from the Native Americans? Was it great when the Declaration of Independence provided rights to white men only, excluding women, Native Americans and African ...

Letter: Trump the wrong man to lead America into the future

My age has not given me wisdom, but it has given me the long view. Things change and sometimes it is hard to accept the changes. But I consider them all in the framework of my children and grandchildren. What will improve their lives? Climate change and decency top the lists. We are like guests ...

Harrop: Build anything anywhere threatens communities

YIMBY sounds nice. YIMBY stands for "Yes in My Backyard." It's a positive-sounding rejoinder to NIMBY, "Not in My Backyard." The NIMBY label is being used to stigmatize defenders of zoning laws, with the goal of bulldozing the rules. Needless to say, real estate developers are all for YIMBY ...

Letter: Open letter to the Republican Party

An open letter to Rob Axson, Utah Republican Party Chairman: I got a text asking for my feelings about the caucus situation, so here are my thoughts. Tuesday last I got another text or two urging me to vote. In order to do so, I was told I had to come at 5pm and stay till 7pm when the voting ...

Letter: We need action, not political theater

I have never been a faithful watcher of the “State of the Union” broadcasts. This year, because of the state of our democracy, I tuned in. I believe that President Biden did a fairly good job, despite the constant interruptions. I stayed for the Republican response from Senator Katie Britt ...
