Women dressing immodestly

To the editor: 0On Father’s Day, I read an interesting 6-13-25 Patrick O’Hearn article in Crisis Magazine concerning the dereliction of duty of fathers toward their daughters. He stated: “Today, many men blame women for the temptations they face. But modesty starts not with dress but with fatherhood. A girl who is seen, cherished, and affirmed by her father won’t seek attention through her body. When she captures her father’s gaze, and knows the love of her Heavenly Father, she learns to dress for glory not for gratification” and, “Sadly, many Catholic fathers want to ...

Reach out to representatives over Medicaid cuts

To the Editor: We have very limited time to make a difference in our country. On behalf of Oak Hills Living Center and the broader community, we ask that you reach out to your congressional representatives by July 3 and inform them how crucial it is to object to the devastating cuts to Medicaid which are in the current budget bill under consideration in the U.S .House of Representatives. Medicaid, called Medical Assistance in Minnesota, serves about 1.3 million Minnesotans. It provides health coverage to low-income families and individuals, and long-term care for seniors and people ...

Be grateful to live in this nation

To the editor: As we approach July 4 , Independence Day, we think of the blessings to live in these United States of America. This will be the 249th Anniversary of this Nation. No other country can approach the freedoms we enjoy and we think of all the service men and women who gave their lives to keep this country free. Have we made mistakes, yes. However, we know of no other nation that has worked so hard to correct them. From the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican American War, the American Civil War, and various conflicts with Native American Tribes. This country ...

Defund Human Rights Commission

To the editor: We knew it would eventually happen. President Trump was elected with a mandate to deport illegal aliens (yes, they are illegal aliens, not “undocumented people”). Initially, the low hanging fruit of deporting illegal aliens who had committed heinous crimes, drug traffickers, gang members, and other assorted low lives were deported. Even ridding our country of these criminals was opposed by Democrats and their supporters. The bigger problem is the millions of the average, run of the mill, illegal immigrants. So, of course the New Ulm Human Rights Commission ...

Trump’s reason for not calling Walz ‘disgusting’

To the editor: There was a recent article on Journal Page 2 under National News. The AP article stated after the assassination of  Hortman, her husband and two others severely injured Trump said, “ I could be nice and call Walz but why waste time?” The full quote which needs to be read by everyone said, “I think the Governor of Minnesota is so whacked out, I’m not calling him. Why would I call him. He is a mess. So I could be nice and call but why waste time?” Not a surprise coming out of his mouth.  What a disgusting nasty piece of humanity. Talk about being “whacked ...

Celebrating legendary New Ulm Legion team

To the editor: This Saturday at 12:30 p.m., before New Ulm Legion Gold plays in the Upper Midwest Classic Tournament at Johnson Park, our community will honor the 1985 Legion team, a group of young men who achieved the extraordinary. Forty years ago, these “Renegades” captivated New Ulm and Minnesota, hosting and winning the American Legion Great Lakes Regional at historic Johnson Park. They defeated state champions from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, and Pennsylvania with stellar pitching, clutch hitting, and spectacular defense, earning a trip to the American Legion ...
