As near as I can tell, at least 29 or 7% of the World’s 193 countries are directly involved in the 2026 Iranian war while the rest of us suffer disruption of the economic system. With the Strait of Hormoz closed and Hutus in Yemen threatening to close the Strait of Bab al-Mandeb compromises …

Trump won the 2016 election: NO FRAUD. Trump won the 2024 election: NO FRAUD. Trump lost the 2020 election: FRAUD. Selective, convenient fraud, used to frighten future voters, disenfranchise voters, control future elections. Rather than create a Republican platform which meets our needs, cry…

Todays LTEs, July 23, were a new record for the STAR. 100% vitriolic, hate filled rants condemning the present Administration on a wide variety of actions. No balance, no consideration of fact, no thoughtful evaluation of the reason this country is still the greatest country in the world to …
Re: July 19 letter by Steven Ruetz. He is voting for Juan Ciscomani because they both have daughters and don't want "men" in womens' locker rooms. The number of transexuals in college sports is 7 out of 500,000 - .0014%. The miniscule number of trans athletes have become the scapegoat target…
So Pete Hegseth wants to test all military members for testosterone. How much will that cost? If they have a low T score, Pete says the government will provide testosterone medication. What are the long term effects of this therapy. Cancer is one of them.
Nowhere in the bible does it say to never give up your sword for plowshares. It is frequently associated with a quote often attributed to Benjamin Franklin: "Those who beat their swords into plowshares usually end up plowing for those who didn't."

The goal for every parent with kids in school is a high school graduate that can read, write and do math, understanding civics is nice but take what you can get. At least that was the goal in the past, but the question every parent should consider today is whether the students are being educ…
Over a thousand Arizona citizens in Pima County, including myself, just spent 14 hours or more on 21 July ensuring our elections are open, fair, and the results are accurate. Every voter was identified and all ballots were counted by 2 different people, one Democrat, one Republican. The chai…
Arizona is experiencing long-term drought conditions, with nearly 85% of the state under Exceptional (D4) or Extreme (D3) drought, and severe short-term drought persisting in several counties including central Pima and Apache County (ADWR). "Overpumping has caused water levels to drop below …

While Mr. Fredericks makes some interesting observations on how #47 has transformed the Republican Party and has redefined American politics, I do not think a lying misogynistic narcissistic racist with no moral compass belongs up there.
Mistreatment of Fitzsimmons' work
For almost 10 years I volunteered working the Pima County polls. I am very familiar with the process and can attest to the legitimacy, honesty and high-quality of how our county has run its elections. The only time I ever remember anyone questioning our election integrity was when Trump star…
Last night i watched Trump's address to the nation online. It started with his usual story of how great this country is doing, how great he is, etc. Then he got into the 2020 "stolen" election, with his opinions on rampant voter fraud, hacking by foreign governments, thousands of illegal imm…
ACC Commissioner Marquez Peterson discussed reliable and affordable energy but provided no information regarding either. Texas demonstrates that renewable energy (33% of the total) is very reliable. Burning fossil fuels costs more than solar or wind. The current costs in cents per kWh are: s…
Sharon Bronson served on the Pima County Board of Supervisors for way too long. And now as a retired mediocre politician, she forgets every Pima County Democrat who helped put her and remain in office and throws her support for Trump’s yes guy, CD 6 incumbent Ciscomaga. Fortunately, Bronson’…
