LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Party of denial Editor: A favorite tactic of totalitarian political systems is to deny the obvious. In this case, the Democratic Party and its leadership continue to tell Americans not to believe their lying eyes and ears. Parents are told that CRT is not being taught in their schools even though at school board meetings they learn about all the hateful, divisive, racist tenets of CRT that are part of their children’s curriculum. And when state legislators try to ban CRT from school curriculums, they are fiercely opposed by teachers unions for something that supposedly doesn’t exist. According to the president, inflation is not serious and will soon go away, except in the meantime, cost of basic necessities are up by 25% or more. Not to worry though, a multitrillion-dollar spending bill will somehow reduce inflation instead of actually increasing it. Increasing violence in cities is really not a problem and not the result of decreasing police forces but simply overstated and over reported. The shameful retreat from Afghanistan was a huge success according to President Biden, even though images of Afghans desperately clinging to departing planes and American soldiers being murdered was not relevant. There is no border crisis even though close to 2 million illegals will have crossed our southern border this year. We now have an administration who cannot be trusted and willing accomplices in the liberal media who will never hold them accountable. Igor Shpudejko Goodyear

Editor: To the young man who dropped his car engine on Sundance Park Way: I

have retrieved a piece of that engine and I’m hoping it’s a key piece of the engine because you are not getting it back. There are many residents living in this retirement community who are tired of wearing earplugs. We don’t all wear hearing aids. The motorcycles and cars that you soup up to impress your captive audience have jolted us out of bed many, too many times to count but we are not impressed. The ear-spitting problem on Sundance Parkway has always been a problem, but since the pandemic, it has really taken on a malicious note of intent. I saw you wearing a mask and it wasn’t for the pandemic. It was to protect yourself from all the gas fumes. The ex-Marines and women who can still throw a mean spitball ready to defend our neighborhood and put a stop on “The Road Warrior” movie you think you are making. Now here is how it’s going down. Some of us will be out in the open the smaller and older residences will be hiding in the bushes all armed with eggs. It won’t be pretty but don’t think you can just accidentally run over any of us. Some of our children are in law enforcement. I won’t end this information on a funny note. I am all laughed out seeing your car engine in the street. Vickie J. Chelini Buckeye

Just head to Cuba Editor:

The espousal propagated by the Marxists is a diatribe of ideology purporting truth but in essence demonstrates it never works. Look at Venezuela and Zimbabwe as two perfect examples of what equity defines. Both countries were exporting goods that caused them to flourish.

But because rulers that believe that socialistic equity was the way to go. Venezuela raised taxes to run social programs promoting socialist equity with swelling promises of a greater life. Soon those who were working and paying the overwhelming taxes could no longer support government spending. Producers of goods had to abandon their businesses because the economy faltered. Inflation blossomed to levels where their dollars were printed in the tens of thousands and worth a U.S. penny. Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe took all farm property away from the British promoting socialist equity and made them the people’s farms. Soon the farms became idle. No one was able to repair the machinery used for planting and harvesting. So it sat and rusted. Their currency rapidly became worthless because of inflation. Their currency inflated to the point they were printing bills that were in the billions of dollars. It is virtually worthless. For a U.S. dime, I bought a Z$40 billion and $1 billion note as a souvenir when I was in Zimbabwe. So, you can see the consequences of government spending by printing more money to pay for these grandiose

promises of building a better life. You will not find CRT in school programs, but you will find socialistic equity being taught and CRT is a part of equity. I would recommend that anyone who wants to flee socialistic countries like Cuba can come to America and those that want to live under socialism can go to Cuba. Les Armstrong Goodyear
