Letter: Price of eggs, war in Ukraine, fixed Day One?

1 month ago | tucson.com | John Bingham

A LTE stating that fuel prices are down this year shows that the felon in charge is doing a good job. He and his ilk, like Loran, think that he's fulfilling campaign promises. Drill baby drill. Biden drilled more oil that Trump by far. But fuel prices still increased because of greed. It's not hard to understand. But the promise that food prices like eggs would decline immediately was a flat out lie. Yesterday at I was at the supermarket and eggs were $10.99 per dozen.
Letter: UPHOLDING THE CONSTITUTION

1 month ago | tucson.com | John Bingham

l just had a LOL moment reading Dan R's LTE. He calls a simple, easily answered question to the prez, and the prez whose only answer should have been yes, answered, "I don't know." How can you not know what you swore an oath to, exactly, Dan? Call it bias if that's what you need to do to make yourself feel better, but the job of the president and what he swore to was to uphold the constitution. It's not an, "I don't know," kind of answer.
Letter: An American hero??

1 month ago | tucson.com | John Bingham

I just read an LTE that claimed Musk an American hero. He's not even an American. He's a South African who grew up with apartheid. He's as far away from being an American Hero as Putin. But they both support the corrupt leader of the "so-called GOP." What Putin can't get done in America, he's got Musk doing for him. Destabilize the markets, call into question what are "real national emergency issues" like the war in Ukraine and in Gaza, as well as the climate crisis.
Letter: Military parade? Really?

1 month ago | tucson.com | John Bingham

The man that called veterans suckers and losers wants a military parade. For what? To celebrate his bone spurs? Or because he appointed and still supports the liar for Secretary of Defense, Hegseth. The same guy that feels it's important for friends and family to know about upcoming air strikes. I'm a proud Marine veteran who served during Operation Desert Storm. I'm also proud of what the Marines have meant to our country.
Letter: Apartheid

2 months ago | tucson.com | John Bingham

I'm old and still trying to understand what Zionism is. I do know what Apartheid is. Reading a LTE today the writer said Israel isn't an apartheid state because Ethiopian Jews, gays and trans are all accepted and are living there. What about the Palestinians that were there first?
Ripster Revivals #14

2 months ago | shotsmag.co.uk | Mike Ripley |John Bingham

Written by Mike Ripley RIPSTER REVIVALS #14 Yet more ‘occasional’ ramblings from the world of (mostly)crime fiction and thrillers. Books read, re-read and still to be read; old favourites rediscovered, new gems uncovered. Scene of the Crime(Fest) CrimeFest will indeed be leaving the festival scene next month as its sixteenth incarnation will see the end of has been rightly labelled ‘the friendliest of all gatherings celebrating murder and mayhem’.
Letter: Lies don't really matter

2 months ago | tucson.com | John Bingham

A letter to the editor about lies mattering had me laughing out loud. The reader claimed that the Biden administration apparently lied to the American people, constantly. He mentions the pardon to Biden's son, because he said, "he'd not pardon him." That would be a lie, for sure. But I ask the letter writer, "wouldn't you pardon your son?"He goes on to say that it was a lie that economy was doing well. That was a fact and not a lie. Why it was called a lie was just ignorance. Facts aren't changeable.
Letter: Taxes and Musk

2 months ago | tucson.com | John Bingham

Reading a well thought out answer regarding taxes was inspiring. I want to thank Lawrence Mazin for coming up with a plan that would keep seniors from the anxiety that this administration is causing and tax those that have the most responsibility. Too bad the Muskrat isn't smart enough to come up with a similar plan. Unfortunately for the rich that now run the government, that would keep them from making ungodly amounts of money without paying their fair share. Why would they want that?
Letter: Here I am

Mar 23, 2025 | tucson.com | John Bingham

Responding to Rich who believes people who don't like the felon he helped elect president are "wandering in the wilderness." No one suffers from TDS other than the T, himself. No one other than him and maybe his mini me believes they are above the law. No vicious gang member has more rights than you, Rich. How you came up with that is just idiotic. He says that Dems who voted for "electrifying" our autos are now destroying them and burning them to the ground.
Letter: Liberal point of view

Mar 18, 2025 | tucson.com | John Bingham

Doug Shumway of Green Valley blames the liberals of Oro Valley for anti-T diatribes. He states Democrats lie far more than the prez for some reason that I'm still trying to understand. #47 lied in his campaign about Project 2025. He's firmly implemented it now. Doug and many others voted for a criminal who guaranteed he'd bring down the cost of eggs his first day in office, and stop the war in Ukraine the same day. Who's been lying to who exactly? How much are eggs?
