VETERANS: A golden thanks
A word of thanks to Golden Corral for the wonderful meals and kindness they showed for our vets. I am only one voice, but I think I speak for every “dogface, jyreen, flyboy and Navy vet” when I say Ho-Rah Golden Co…
AP: Unfair Trump coverage
AP — America’s Pravda — is at it again! During Obama’s eight years in office, China happily built military islands all over Southeast Asia with no American response. In his first year, President Trump has told Chin…
VETERANS: Sweet Lou's delight
After the Veterans Day ceremony at McEuen Park last Saturday, several of us went to Sweet Lou’s restaurant for our “free” meal. It was much more than that.

RESPONSE: Writer nuked his credibility
Mr. Ridout,
RESPONSE: ISIS wants you, Bob
Bob Ridout, you are one sick puppy! You think that killing millions of American people on the West Coast would be a win. Maybe you should go join ISIS. I sure hope somebody with mental problems like yours doesn’t o…
VOTE: Conflicting interests
Who should I cast my ballot for? I’m pro life, believe in God and attend church regularly. I can’t vote Democrat, because they support abortion and stem cell research. I can’t vote Republican, because they support …
THANKS: For all the help
To all who volunteered their time on my campaign and supported my candidacy, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. We fought with honor. We took the high road running a clean, honest campaign and advancing it aga…
