Got something on your mind? Tell us about it in 40 words or less.
Reagan: Trump versus the crazies
If for some strange reason you didn’t already know how much the liberal media hates President Trump, you found out this week.
Funt: No Oscar host? No problem!
It seems this year’s Academy Awards will be conducted using a no-host format, now that Kevin Hart and his dossier of homophobic wisecracks have been officially ruled out.
Letter: Catchall critic
In Senior News Editor Tim Wiederaenders’ Friday Catchall (Jan. 11) he appears to be misinformed.
Letter: Gun show control
Regarding stories and editorials about newly proposed legislation for expanding background checks, I am all for adding a few hurdles for obtaining guns.
Letter: ‘Do Not Call’ me
Most people I know get several unwanted telephone solicitations each day even though their phone numbers are on the “do not call registry.”
Friday Catchall: Little bird furthers Dells development debate
The debate continues over Save the Dells versus Arizona Eco Development. (I should state “talk” continues because one side speaking out does not make a debate; the City of Prescott and AED have been quiet publicly.)
Stossel: Legal weed
Ten states and Washington, D.C., have now legalized adult use of marijuana.
Letter: What’s the problem?
There have been many articles written about the comments made by Rep. David Stringer, both pro and con, from First Amendment rights to he’s racist.
Letter: Durst dirt
I was very disappointed to see Will Durst’s column back in the Jan. 5 edition of The Daily Courier after an absence of many, many weeks.
Letter: Wall, barrier, whatever!
I’ve wanted to write for months now, where to start? This country is so divided!
Editorial: Vaping should be treated same as tobacco under law
Generations of Americans smoked cigarettes, and tobacco use accounts for nearly one-half million deaths each year, according to the American Lung Association.
Williams: Friend took advantage of chance to live free after leaving Vietnam
I met Dong (American pronunciation “Dome”) in 1970.
Letter: Not bound by loyalty
People who place an extreme value on loyalty have always scared me.
Letter: Giddyap and go
I want to respond to letters in the Jan. 1 edition regarding race relations. When we were considering moving to Prescott from central Texas we noticed the racial makeup of the area as about 95-plus percent Caucasian and hoped that this did not mean Prescott might be a bit of a white enclave, unwelcoming to people of darker-shaded skin.
Graham: Peace of mind: ‘Wind of change’ never goes away
Sometimes our world these days seems like such an unfriendly place, with trouble seemingly waiting around every corner and a fog of malaise hanging over everything.
Cantlon: Dells to become a parking lot? Residents vote?
If you haven’t followed details of what’s proposed for development in the Dells, it includes a hotel/resort/spa.
