TIM BURKE: Is COVID-19 Chinese plot to undermine our country?
By Tim Burke Special to the Pahrump Valley Times

We seem to be living in a state of constant chaos in 2020. Is it a plot by the Democrats to keep the country embroiled and divided through the election to unseat the president? Or is it a coincidental series of events?

DAN SCHINHOFEN: The bottom line
By Dan Schinhofen Special to the Pahrump Valley Times

Can we get just one honest politician to stand up and say, “I think we may have overreacted to this whole COVID-19 thing”?

DAN SCHINHOFEN: The bottom line
By Dan Schinhofen Special to the Pahrump Valley Times

We all have one. Some people try to act like they don’t, but each of us has a line which we will not cross. For some it is based on religious faith or ideals. For others it may be something our father or mother instilled in us. Still others may never have given it a thought, but sometime during this short life we will all be confronted with a choice where we will find out just how low we can go.

DAN SCHINHOFEN: Facts, not fear
By Dan Schinhofen Special to the Pahrump Valley Times

At the end of this piece, I will list my sources, which are mostly the CDC. From the beginning of this “crisis,” we have been told that we need to listen to the experts, and that is what I have been doing. The CDC recommends using masks and wiping down surfaces, but they do not have clinical data to back this up, and they even contradict their own message in some cases.
