Letter: Comparing unequal political parties

Let's compare the republican political party to the democracts when it comes to character, class, integrity and corruption. From 1961 to 2019 the republican party held power for 31 years, in that period of time there were 149 indictments, 95 convictions, and 34 party members sentenced. When it ...

Letter: Trump doesn’t really care about cops

A prior letter writer wrote, "We should all consider which way we vote on the up-and-coming election." She also said, "Trump's attention is to honor those brave young men (police)." Trump said, "On day one as president I will pardon the January 6 hostages." The January 6 mass assault on police ...

Letter: An fun time at senior center reunion

I recently attended the North Ogden Senior Center 20 year Reunion. I felt it necessary to comment on the celebration. It was a lovely time, with an open house, great food and entertainment. I was so impressed, the local Fire department served our meals, and did an excellent job. Sun Shade N' ...

Letter: Sharing a poem written for Earth Day

Pleasant View (In honor of Earth Day, April 22, 2024) My grandpa's cherries were red and sour; perfect for pies! This place was different then. There were few fences or walls to keep animals out No division among foothills and pastures Or houses scantly spread across the sprawl of ...

Letter: Clarifying my concerns about future US elections

I was pleased to have Charles Trentelman reply so quickly to my letter (March 14 & 18). He is my all-time favorite columnist over the nearly 50 years I have been reading the Standard Examiner. I dare say many who cancelled would re-subscribe, were his “Wasatch Rambler” writings to ...

Letter: Biden’s been at work for all; Trump only for himself

In all due respect, Margaret Brough, I have to take issue with your letter about a stark comparison between Trump and Biden. Yes, the two men could not be more different, but saying Trump has sacrificed all for America while Biden is only trying to hold onto power is a grave ...

Letter: TPS for Ecuador will benefit our economy

I am writing to express my support for the implementation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ecuadorian immigrants who have been residing in the United States for many years, and can’t return to Ecuador due to the civil unrest and unsafety. TPS for Ecuador would offer eligible ...

Letter: Stark comparison between Biden and Trump

I find it interesting that today, Joe Biden is trying to hold on to the presidency any way he can. He is embarking on a campaign today with Obama and Clinton to raise money to help him fund to hold on to the presidency, Donald Trump is attending a very sacred service a New York police officer ...

Letter: Dialysis debt a burden; Congress must act

We Americans with kidney failure must accept the fact that we will be in medical debt for the rest of our lives. To pay for dialysis treatment, some patients keep working and use private insurance. Others live in states that supplement the other 20%. For me, although I have my husband’s ...

Letter: Distressed by recent political developments

I surely couldn't foresee myself writing another letter to the editor after all these years, but I just can't restrain myself. There are so many remarkable issues that one letter could never suffice. I will address a few that cause me the most distress: Politics #1: Donald Trump A ...
