Keep our neighborhoods safe

To the editor:  “Who is my neighbor?” This is a poignant question of faith. Jesus beckons us with his answer. A very dear Hispanic woman is suffering the following trauma. Please hear her within your heart through Jesus’ eyes of compassion: “Although I am a citizen (for decades), my husband is not (they met in MN as teenagers). He has been in the naturalization process for over 6 years, but it is too slow… Although we couldn’t afford it, we took a big gamble and spent $2,500 applying for his work permit. The permit was denied…and we didn’t get the money back.  I ...

Trump’s paramilitary force imposing state terror

To the editor: M. Gessen had an interesting article on the New York Times web page on Sunday, 1/25/26 in which the argument was presented that the Trump Administration has now arrived at state terror. The use of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Control agents as a paramilitary force bypasses the use of National Guard, especially since increased recruitment has expanded their numbers. President Trump, Vice President Vance and advisor Steven Miller have all stated publicly that Federal agents will have absolute immunity in carrying out their official duties State ...

‘We has met the enemy, And he is us’-Pogo

To the editor: One would think that since the era of ancient Greece, humans would finally understand reality. Unfortunately, absolutely nothing has changed. The ancient writer Homer describes the journey home of Odysseus at the end of the Trojan war. Odysseus must sail between the Straits of Messina that hold two sea monsters. On the left is the six headed monster Scylla represented by jagged rocks. On the right is the monster Charybdis that is represented by a whirlpool. This story is the origin of the saying of being between a rock and a hard place. My point and re-telling the ...

We are nation of laws

To the editor: So they can’t take it anymore (1-27-2026)? The left is screaming as Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) descends upon Minneapolis and across our great state. None of this was necessary. Our Democrat “leaders” (Walz, Frey, Ellison, Klobuchar, and Craig) tried to defy President Trump and United States law by declaring the State of Minnesota and cities as “Sanctuary” for illegal immigrants. They should all be charged with treason. All they had to do was cooperate with ICE. The United States is a Constitutional Republic, (not a Democracy), which means we are a ...

Life is to be celebrated

To the editor: In our state Legislature, the Democratic Party has been attempting to “codify abortion into our state Constitution”. They are attaching this to their equal rights amendment. How on earth can you call for an equal rights amendment which condones murdering a child, even up to the date of birth? We want all of you to know, that you are here because your mother chose to carry you to term, giving each and every one of you “life”, loving you, nurturing you, and giving you the opportunity to exist. Have any of you seen a video of an abortion? We have. The child is ...

Who isn’t a millionaire?

To the editor: After being prodded to question the shady financial shenanigans of our elected leaders and not just vent my loathing for (president) residing in what’s left of the White House, I’ve been appalled at the fortunes these so-called public servants have amassed during their tenures. When I Googled some Republican and Democrat representatives, I was curious as to why some of these people’s net-worth figures were readily available and others were...let’s say...not so transparent. As a for instance for the latter, one representative had some varying figures listed but ...
