Leftists try to silence opposition through intimidation – throwing paint on fur, holding protests not just at a bank but at the bank president’s home, publicizing names and addresses of…
This sounds right out of the mouth of Rush Limbaugh or some such Trumpian propagandist. Who would it be who is not allowing scientists to question climate change? It’s an…
Durango spends huge amounts on the River Trail: extending, concrete-paving, and building an underpass (humans don’t get hit by cars). When will we provide safe passage for wildlife that must…
You’ve said you value fiscal responsibility. You bludgeoned President Obama for ballooning deficits and the national debt when stopping the Great Recession. Now, you’re silent on Trump’s increases. Once, you…
2019: Trump tells immigrant families with children on life-saving hospital support they have 33 days to get out of the U.S. This is an unannounced program. Martin Niemoller, a Lutheran…

The mass shooting in Odessa, Texas, would not have happened if law enforcement had been able to take guns away from this redneck shooter when he was firing at animals…
I feel that the advice given in this article is misleading at best and irresponsible at worst. The article advises athletes to switch their diet to higher fat, lower carbohydrate…
What’s so abundant that we hardly consider it as pivotal? Try water. Oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth. Water vapor is an integral part of the atmosphere. It…
He thinks he has the authority from God to rule like a deity. He thinks he has all the answers and needs to carry out these visions. The only problem…
The Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is one of the reasons we originally moved to this area. We are very discouraged by the negative comments that often are published…
Wondered how many were as horrified as I was to see how plastic is taking over the oceans and some of the poorest communities of our world – what a…
Not long ago, I was at City Market north and a man entered at the same time with a handgun on his waist. He walked like he wanted everyone to…
I’ve known him professionally for 12 years, both as a pestering reporter and editor at The Durango Herald, and for the past three years sitting with him on the city’s…
I would hope del Campo and her family did not take offense at Mike Sigman’s subtle, jesting response (“Are you covering for Trump resistance?” Sept. 5). On the surface, his…
Truth (five-letter word) is that Democrats are not just shooting themselves in the foot with Biden, Democrats are destined to a colossal loss and a catastrophic disservice to America going…
Climate change is the only scientific theory ever proposed that scientists are not allowed to question. Are there any solutions to global warming that would not greatly increase the power…
What is evident now is that the placing of nearly every person into partisan camps has also severely eroded any hope of reconciliation, respectful negotiations, honest debate, or even simple…
France did suspend its fuel/carbon tax after the Yellow Vests revolt. Reducing consumption of fossil fuels (and the greenhouse gasses) by raising the cost followed sound economic principals. It was…
The Kellogg-Briand Pact was signed on Aug. 27, 1928. It outlaws war as a tool of foreign policy. The United States is still legally bound by this treaty, which commits…

I will start by saying that I love the train. It is a beautiful historic part of Durango. I can only assume that Tim is new here and doesn’t understand…
I would like, however, to separate the corporate misdeeds from the exceptional care I have received from the professional staff at Mercy. I have recently suffered a shoulder injury and…
Later in the story, it says she is a “Mexican immigrant.” Is she a legal immigrant or an illegal immigrant, one wonders? If she is an illegal immigrant, why does…
The young lady, with the help and inspiration provided by a Durango educator, has turned in her track and seems to be happily ascending what is a long hard trail…
