November 13, 2023Dear editor; In times of crisis, four presidents ordered the closure of our borders. The 9-11 terrorists entered our country illegally by using forged passports.

June 3, 2023Dear editor; It’s June, and we’re supposed to once again dutifully hop on board the “Gay Pride” bandwagon and celebrate all things “gay.” But are we celebrating the fact that male homo/bisexuals have an HIV/AIDS rate that is 40-50 times the heterosexual HIV/AIDS rate? According to the CDC,...

March 13, 2023Dear editor; “I Sold my Soul to the Company Store.” That is the title to an old song often sung by Tennessee Ernie Ford. I thought it describes very well our current City Hall government in Aurora. With its rules of loyalty, a specific lingo, and misuse of...
February 25, 2023 Dear editor; I’ve been living in the Lakewood Springs Club Community for a few months now. There are way too many rules that are a bit on the petty side of things. We moved into this Club to enjoy our lives and break away from the craziness...
