Donald Trump continues to break all precedent with his irresponsible actions

Never before has a president gone overseas and criticized a former president, questioned the integrity of our intelligence agencies and demeaned the First Amendment right of a free press. Donald Trump seems to have no idea the purpose of a free press, which is not to praise and support our elected officials but to hold them accountable.

The president seems more comfortable with leaders who have been able to imprison their opposition, stifle their journalists and control their legislators and courts. Meanwhile he has alienated our traditional democratic allies.

We Americans need to pay very close attention to this administration’s policies.

LETTER: Giving Donald Trump a pass

Listen to the evidence that will be presented at Donald Trump’s trials before reaching any conclusions. And remember that those giving the most damning testimony will likely be Republicans.

LETTER: Why does Las Vegas keep building houses?

How can we ask the federal government for additional funds to fight the drought when we keep pulling billions of gallons of water out of the Colorado River, which feeds Lake Mead?

LETTER: Highways will go the way of the horse and buggy

I personally can’t wait to give up the soporific scenery, racetrack-like mentality and beautiful Baker bathroom stops of the Interstate 15 car commute in favor of a sleek, smooth train.
