Recently 蜜柚直播 changed the left turn signals at major intersections from blinking yellow to red. This change has prompted multiple letters complaining of the resultant delays for drivers. The intersections in question are those with high numbers of crashes which resulted in injuries or fata…
The University of 蜜柚直播, despite financial challenges, continues to be a top-notcheducational institution that is critical to the health of 蜜柚直播 and the surrounding area.
Protests against Israel are misguided because of false information. The truth, as I see it is that Hamas killing of Israelis was basically unprovoked. The Hamas have used women and children to shield themselves during a counter attack. In reality, It seems that most of the Hamas and Palestin…
The author of the 鈥淗ate Trump Club鈥 letter, apparently has a poor grasp of cause and effect. Trump was the beneficiary of a recovering, growing and increasingly healthy economy from President Obama, who had inherited an economy on the brink of financial ruin from G.W. Bush. Likewise, Preside…
Not too late for Mayor Romero and Council to adjust their 2024-2025 budget priorities to increase the allocation for their most basic service: maintaining the health and safety of the community. That may not match their current top priorities, social equity and climate change, but Police Chi…
In referring to the opinion piece published in the Star May 3rd by Taylor Miller (鈥淯A student encampment merits support鈥)鈥
Editorial cartoons
I read the op-ed support for student encampment with interest based on current student unrest. The author qualifies her comments by stating her academic expertise about the Israeli occupation of Palestine and adds to that her moral authority stemming from her Jewish culture. I read her piece…
I thank Rory Smith for his LTE in response to my recent opinion piece (鈥淵ou can take action on climate change,鈥 April 26, 2024).
I am a lifelong Republican, business woman, former CPA, and attorney. Juan Ciscomani is voting for the the "Mining Clarity Act" which would allow Hudbay to go forward with the Rosemont Mine and dump tailings on federal land. This law addresses exactly what the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals sa…
re: Recent letters complaining of "liberal media bias"
I remember when young folks wen to college for an education to further their lives and get better employment and if you had the ability, you could play sports. Then in 1950, the NCAA started the Athletic Scholarship Program, and this was furthered by Title 9 for all sports mail and female. F…
I urge all 蜜柚直播ns to write to Senators Kelly and Sinema to urge them to push for a vote on the Child Tax Credit bill on the Senate floor. During the pandemic, the Child Tax Credit kept 3 million children out of poverty, and while this bill is not estimated to be as effective, it will stil…
I began this beautiful 蜜柚直播 morning with another letter in your paper touting the strong economics of the Trump years. Then I watched "Meet the Press' and "Face the Nation" to hear Republicans boast about the grand Trump years. Does anyone remember his final year of Presidency when we were…
Letters to the Editor
Recent campus protests against Gazan genocide echo the Occupy 蜜柚直播 experience in morality, economics, and civic engagement. Both exemplify nationwide, nonviolent uprisings marked by non-hierarchical mutual support met by governmental suppression. In both, violation of basic moral tenets co…
During his State of the Union speech, President Biden chastised members of the U.S. Supreme Court, who were in attendance, for their vote reversing Roe vs. Wade. Sending the abortion issue to the states. Frankly, a political gift to energize the Democrat vote, as will happen with the Abortio…
No hatred for Donnie to put aside, Mr Walters, but a few matters to address. NY law requires criminal defendants to attend their trials every day, be they surgeons, teachers or semi-unemployed politicians. They can be excused at the judge's discretion but doubt it occurs often. Some felony d…
The letter "Help Wanted - Alternate Electors" was a great contribution. Add to "Additional
Student demonstrations are not a new thing as any quick search on the internet will show. In the 1960's, students were demanding that their government end racism in accordance with the laws that had been passed and to end an illegal war which could have very personal consequences to the students.
I鈥檝e known Ted Prezelski for decades and I鈥檝e always been impressed by his knowledge of the issues in front of our community and his passion for 蜜柚直播. He鈥檇 be a fine choice for a replacement for Steve Kozachik when the council fills the seat later this month.
We read on the front page of the Daily Star that President Joe Biden spoke again with the Israeli Prime Minister to end the hostilities in the Gaza Strip. His message was clear; Benjamin Netanyahu must end the conflict.

Get Healthy. 鈥淐arb鈥 doesn鈥檛 have to be a dirty word.
I rush to applaud the Republican National Committee on its embrace of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) policies to include in its top leadership those who may have quite unfairly been shunned in the past.
Instead of concentrating only on the two old men running for President, we should concentrate on the people who will become the Vice President. The Republican front runner has said several times that he will pick the person who can bring the most money to the campaign. The Democratic front r…
In his May 2 Letter to the Editor David A. Pearse relies on standard conservative talking points that are patently unconvincing because they are based on deceit and falsehood. He wants us to abandon all efforts to combat climate change because China, India and other developing nations are in…
If you think about it, virtually every left turn made while driving involves making sure there is no oncoming traffic. Now, in their wisdom, our city planners have decided that we are too stupid to take that precaution at major intersections. So now we find ourselves staring at new red turn …
The Daily Star today had an article about the shorter life span of native american;s. I am not a sociologist nor do I have any particular skills in evaluating different peoples. I am, however, a trained Investigator and observer who, while employed by DES, spent much time within native ameri…
Readers know that China, India, and Russia (among others) are desperately seeking to step into the USA's standard of living and we know that involves burning a lot of coal, don鈥檛 we. There鈥檚 no secrets or trickery here at all here. The USA has the largest GDP in the world and everyone is scr…
Rory Smith鈥檚 recent LTE (May 3) to the Star in response to Dr. Mark Peterson鈥檚 op-ed is simply wrong. He argues that climate change regulations will cost money. Actually, not mitigating climate change already costs billions and those costs, left unaddressed, will grow exponentially. His argu…
The Federalist Society is the incubator for the right-wing lords of justice. Its members are of one mindset because only conservative doctrine is espoused.
