On The Eve of Battle

Editorial by Glen Davis

It appears that we are on the eve of battle. Tomorrow is January 6th. A day which will live in infamy. If I may borrow a phrase like Biden and Harris quite often do.

It appears we are going to have a fight over who will be the next President of the United States of America. It is hard to believe the overwhelming evidence of fraud in the election is just to be thrown in the trash can along with the military votes for President Trump.

Yet, I can’t help but recall President Trump’s first election when it was the Republican Party trying to dump him like the Democrats did Bernie Sanders who actually won the Democratic nomination. I recall when Republican voters almost had to take the State of Arizona to court to keep President Trump on the ballot.

Then something amazing happened. President Trump was elected. President Trump kept his promises. The economy began to flourish. All of the sudden Republicans began to run ads including the phrase “Trump Supporter.” If it didn’t include the phrase, they were largely ignored. Some cannot even get on a plane, today, without being called traitor.

Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other “Party” media cannot seem to suppress the belief of millions of Americans who know the election was conducted in the grandest tradition of Venezuela. Americans who can see that our cherished right—the right to select our employees—has degraded to that of a Third World country using their very voting systems.

The worst part is I personally know of two young people who voted for the first time. I witnessed their disappointment as they they could even see the open corruption that basically nullified their vote.

As I reflect on the battle President Trump fought against his own party in the 2016 election, I can still see some hope.

I also see, however, dark days ahead. Possibly even civil war on a scale that would make Union and Confederate soldiers recoil in horror. I hope I am wrong in this part. Unfortunately we have allowed the “Deep State” propaganda machine to divide us. As parents, we allowed the “Department of Education” to ruin a school system by indoctrinating instead of educating. We didn’t pull kids out of the corrupt system and homeschool them. We don’t make them read a Constitution of the United States of America.

This does not apply to all of course. Many parents have turned to homeschooling or Charter Schools. Some have fought against the corrupt system.

It is my sincere hope and desire and prayer that I am wrong and that this is not the last days of the freest country in the world. Even though we have slowly let our rights and freedoms be eaten away by corrupt politicians who’s bank account seems to grow after their inauguration and swearing in ceremonies.

Very respectfully submitted.

Wet weather does not dampen voting

WILLIAMS — The drizzly weather did not seem to dampen the voting spirit in Williams as those who did not vote early went to the polls to cast their ballots. Isolated showers are expected to continue throughout the day.

Tomorrow and Thursday it is expected to be sunny with highs to the low 70s. Friday it will be breezy and cooler with snow expected over the weekend.

Today will end a particularly contentious election season. In addition Arizona will vote on whether or not to make recreational marijuana legal and to raise taxes for schools. Recreational marijuana was defeated last election and will probably be defeated this time around.
