LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Let’s stop watching Fox news shall we?

Let’s stop watching Fox news shall we?

This is in response to Jim Ferrells article on July 23, 2014 regarding Fox News and Republicans misguided.

Jim, Jim, Jim … we get it. All Republicans are bad and all Democrats are good. You have been saying that for years … okay so move on to something else.

I will admit you did state something we “all” can agree on and I quote you. “Despite the fact that Issa has wasted millions of our tax dollars on investigations and hearings he has thus failed to produce one shred of evidence that shows Lerner acted legally.” Rather odd don’t you agree Jim?

So here the deal … If it is proved Lerner acted “illegally” you have to stop your silly articles and agree to watch Fox news for one year. If she is proved innocent, I promise to stop watching Fox News for one year. I think the odds are in my favor.

COVID-19 and how residents are ignoring the self-quarantine
By Tim Burke Special to the Pahrump Valley Times

Some residents of Nevada ignore the call for voluntarily self-quarantining and social distancing. There are still a lot of people out in the community, and traffic on the roads is still substantial. If you make a quick trip to pick up essentials at the grocery store, you will see that stores are still being overrun by shoppers madly searching for the ever-elusive rolls of toilet paper and paper towels. Head into a big box hardware store to pick up repair parts, and shoppers fill the aisles who have no idea what social distancing means. Bored at home and seeking something productive to do, homeowners have decided to occupy their free time by tackling projects around the yard and house. Signs around the stores asking shoppers to maintain social distancing are largely ignored by many as they go about their business. Yes, you will see some residents wearing surgical face masks. You will also see some wearing homemade masks of cloth or windsocks pulled up and cover their face and nose. Some shoppers, as they navigate down crowded aisles, will move to keep at least six feet between them and other shoppers. Then there are those shoppers who crowd in on top of you as stand waiting to check out without any regard to the prominently places signs asking them to stay back at least six feet. For them and for others who are not heeding the request to stay at home and for social distancing, the COVID-19 virus is not a real threat.

“As the top U.S. watermelon-producing state prepares for harvest, Reuters reports, “many of the workers needed to collect the crop are stuck in Mexico …. Without the workers, crops could rot in fields throughout the country,” starting in Florida and California where major harvests begin in April and May.

It’s not the zombie apocalypse we were promised
By Dan Schinhofen Special to the Pahrump Valley Times

For years we have all watched the movies and read the books about a global pandemic that would herald the end of mankind as we know it. When the virus was first reported, I was alarmed and was very glad that the president at least stopped flights from China. What happened next still puzzles me.
