Compassionate hearts must unite in action as never before now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade. Women with crisis pregnancies need more than baby clothes, diapers and…
I am dismayed by the ruling to deny Ascent Academy charter school status. It was obvious from the beginning that the 9-R School District would do everything in its power…
How dare Justices Alito and Thomas act angry or miffed after their partisan, misogynistic, theocratic decision. They got what they wanted, what they lied to Congress for – overturning Roe…
RE: The Durango Herald’s Saturday editorial on wages and housing in our beloved town. Indeed, from a personal perspective, I am here because of my own tipping point in Southern…
I found just typing the words government-mandated schools unsettling. As Americans, we have an innate aversion to the fact that nameless people can interfere with family decisions. One of the…
If this buffoonish administration passes a bill in July forgiving student loans, then it’s only fair that those students who have paid off their loans – and those currently paying…
Has your vote been counted yet? Mine hasn’t . . . yet. “Colorado law requires us to compare the signature on your return envelope with the signatures in your voter…
One of the telling things about the 2020 election is that there were a number of irregularities, rules were illegally changed to allow mail-in voting and various other issues. Even…
A public good is a product or service that benefits most of society. Examples are national defense, roads, schools and public lands. Most Americans are willing to pay taxes to…
The recent editorial “Homelessness not always about housing” opens a long-needed conversation. The city and county both approved the 2020 Durango-La Plata County Strategic Plan on Homelessness, designed to balance…
I again wish that we in Durango could easily get Colorado news and not New Mexico’s because I am afraid that we are under informed on the U.S. Senate primary…
I support the Second Amendment but super efficient mass killing instruments like the AR-15 and AK-47 should be regulated. Anyone who wants to purchase one should be required to use…
After reading the umpteenth article on the Purple Cliffs homeless camp, I decided to go take another look for myself. Quite frankly, it’s disgusting. The place is a filthy mess…
After many years as a Republican, I changed to an unaffiliated registration. As an unaffiliated voter we can vote in either the Republican or Democratic primary. I challenge all voters…
Lauren Boebert is good for the 3rd Congressional District and the United States. The Democrats have nothing to offer. Their policies are a disaster. Open borders: Since President Biden took…
A longtime resident of the county, I recently moved into city limits. One of the perks, I thought, was parking my car and becoming more of a pedestrian. I didn’t…
Take a moment to learn about Tina Peters, candidate for secretary of state. Peters, who in her position as Mesa county clerk and recorder, was indicted for multiple crimes, including…
As of 1993, there were over 22,000 gun laws on the books. I spent almost three hours on ATF’s website recently and gave up after about 50 pages. Why not…
Kudos to the county commissioners for making a difficult decision to close this camp. It is a public health hazard, an eyesore and dangerous for the entire county population. The…
Complaining that “nobody wants to work anymore” seems to be a popular trend these days. The complaint seems to come most frequently from those collecting pensions that are rarely offered…
Anyone going past the Purple Cliffs area may instantly see this homeless camp as a chaotic disaster zone. Buried in garbage, lived-in vehicles, abandoned carts from Home Depot and especially,…
The article on the closure of the Purple Cliffs homeless camp describes a situation that is generating frequent incidents of violence and unsanitary conditions. The newest solution is no longer…
As the president of the Associated Students of Fort Lewis College and a registered Republican in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, I am endorsing Don Coram in the Republican primary and…
The Durango Herald’s article on the School District 9-R board’s vote of disapproval makes it clear that most of the worries about Ascent Classical Academy of Durango were because Ascent…
Innovative action beats a do-nothing loudmouth. Alex Walker is not your average candidate who rambles on or brags about past campaigns. Instead, you hear something innovative and passionate, actual three-point…
Congratulations to The Durango Herald editorial board for their continued dedication to endorsing liberals for Congress, adding none other than Don Coram to the list. Nevermind that the Pulitzer Prize-winning…
The city of Durango should support the SOIL project spearheaded by Durango School District 9-R teacher Charlie Love and partners in creating a new community garden on the Riverview Elementary…
Everyone who lives in the 3rd Congressional District should be very proud. Apparently, our “congerswoman” Lauren Boebert has written a book to be released in July. The obvious questions: Does…
Over the weekend, Lauren Boebert appeared at an event in Colorado Springs and claimed that Jesus didn’t have enough AR-15s to keep his government from killing him. And she represents…
The Democratic Party and their media outlets are godless pimps. They are committed to push their agenda to kill the unborn, raise prices on everything and frame the last president.…
