Letter: Time for Mike Lee to take his prejudices and go

Mike Lee must go. Publicly shaming another person is an all too familiar refrain for the senator; in this case slamming a BYU professor who acknowledged publicly that she has a transgendered child. This type of open bigotry was a trademark for the likes of Senator Joe McCarthy and Governor ...

Letter: A suggestion to solve border, trade problems

Dear President Biden, I think we can do something really good in collaboration with our southern neighbors, solving so many of our challenges. Mexico, Central and South America have great weather, white sandy beaches, infrastructure, cities, manufacturing and shipping capabilities plus so much ...

Letter: Reader’s gun comments were well thought out

Way to go, Chuck Whitehead! Your letter to the editor (May 10th) was nothing short of genius. I'm extremely impressed by everything you said and how well you said it. You didn't mince words and you were right on target (no pun intended). I'm looking forward to seeing more from you and hopefully ...

Letter: Could Trump go from the big house to the White House?

To the great relief of many of us, Donald Trump was never able to gain the support of what he called "the coastal elites", both East and West. His MAGA-land support was always in Middle America and the South. But liberals be warned, there is a ticking timebomb embedded in our constitution that ...

Letter: Technology is crucial to modern small business survival

In an increasingly competitive and globally connected economy, technology continues to propel small businesses forward and set them apart. A small boutique in Utah, for example, may be seen by someone in New York on social media, and that person could become one of their top customers. That ...

Froma Harrop’s recent Commentary centered on “obsessing over transgender issues.” She makes an insightful comment that much of the fascination is fueled by hyperactive advocates. The amount and intensity of hyperactive support for various issues has increased in recent years, and ...

Letter: Why the rush, necessity to kick out wildlife center?

Does the Eccles Dinosaur Park along the Ogden River Parkway really need another parking lot? And this has been planned for a few years? Anyone who frequents the parkway is likely aware that the existing lots are often empty. Would we really want to encourage more cars/parking/traffic? Isn't the ...

Letter: A way to reduce mass shootings in America

I’ll start by saying I’m a retired white male married 43 years with 5 daughters, 1 son, a registered Republican and gun owner. Mass shootings across America are increasing at alarming rates. Especially the up-tick in school and neighborhood shootings. The vast majority of Americans say ...

Letter: My Hometown Ogden volunteers a blessing to our community

Friendly smiles and greetings. Rakes, shovels, gloves and hard working people. Perspiration (okay, sweat!). Dirty hands. This past Saturday, May 6th, My Hometown Ogden sponsored thirty-some work projects across the Ogden community. Elim Lutheran Church, 575 23rd St in Ogden, was one of the ...

Letter: Pathetic leaders complain about illegal immigration influx

To those leaders who are on mainstream TV networks, complaining of how their cities are overrun by illegal immigrants, let me cite some statistics: Our southern border is over 1,930 miles long. The border wall that had $15 million appropriated in the prior administration has only about 458 ...
