    So Long…It’s Been A Good Ride

    This explosive population growth threatens everything Americans hold dear, including our open spaces, pristine air and water, and abundant wildlife.

    Are you tired of watching America’s natural landscapes disappear?

    Guest Contributor - February 9, 2020
    Flipping tractor tires, pulling sleds, jumping on boxes, throwing a medicine ball against a wall until you black out – now that’s exercise.

    A state of laziness? I don’t think so.

    Rich Manieri - February 8, 2020
    It is time to reveal the name of the one person who Adam Schiff used to start the most recent of several impeachment parades: Eric Ciaramella.

    Time to ask Adam Schiff about his informant, Eric Ciaramella

    Harold Pease - February 6, 2020
    If Democrats want to reprise the past, they need only nominate Bernie Sanders in 2020. Donald Trump would eat him as an appetizer.

    Dear Democrats: Beat Bernie Sanders or feel the burn

    I love southern Utah. I welcome my California neighbors. Congratulations for escaping the insane asylum: You’re safe among friends.

    California’s loss is Utah’s gain

    Howard Sierer - February 2, 2020
    Hillary Clinton's visibility bodes ill for Democrats, not only as a reminder of her loss to Trump but in the potential for her to trash Bernie Sanders.

    Hillary Clinton: Go away

    Guest Contributor - February 1, 2020
