Think about the future before voting

Dear editor: A few reminders before the November election… One candidate cares enough about the rule of law, that she became a prosecutor and has spent her adult life in that role (Kamala Harris)…the other candidate is a convicted felon and billionaire; and has, most likely, never held an actual job where he answered to a ‘boss’. (Donald Trump) One candidate believes in our individual rights (Kamala Harris)…the other candidate can’t seem to decide; maybe because he likes, and is used to being in, control…even over our bodies.(Donald Trump) One candidate understands ...

Students indoctrinated with evolution fantasy

To the editor: The 9-13-2024 ‘What’s wrong with American schools?’ by Laura Hollis, rightly implies that ‘Declining academic performance, shrinking numbers of Americans qualified to enter technical fields, violence and truancy’ problems need to be fixed. But it doesn’t mention the problem of parents who will not discipline their children or help them with homework; just send them off to school and let the teachers struggle with disruptive students. In addition, we have the government helping to create a depressing atheistic environment by indoctrinating students with ...

No surprise for Americans

To the editor: To paraphrase, Tennessee representative Tim Burchett, Washington D.C., is not a swamp. A swamp is a delicate ecosystem, created by God.Washington D.C. is an open sewer and a black hole, which sucks in and drowns any common sense that tries to enter. I must laugh when the party of change won’t admit that the rebellion they have made in the last three and one half years has injured our economy, national security, and our sense of justice. The prophet Isaiah, inspired by God, said it best in Chapter 1:5 stating: “Why do you seek further beatings? Why do you ...

Radical candidates, not moderate

To the editor: It is unfortunate that most of the media is in bed with the Harris/Walz (HW), Democratic candidates for president and vice president. A more careful vetting of HW, shows that they are radical left-wing liberal candidates, and not moderate. Here are a few examples. The HW candidates are part of the Biden administration. They are directly responsible for the open borders and the resulting crimes of murder, rape, abductions, and the like committed by many of the illegal aliens. Why has Harris not done something about it the past 3 1/2 years? Why don’t Harris and Biden ...

There needs to be warning labels

To the Editor: Several years ago, when I was hauling sugar beets for TranSystems, I heard a fellow driver talking to another driver one morning while they were meeting each other on the road or at the pile site as they had begun their day. I recognized the first speaker’s voice as he started shortly before I began my shift. He told the second driver that whenever he began his shift, the Sirius XM radio was always tuned to some right-wing programming. Ordinarily he’d just change the station to one of his preferred formats. But on this day he’d decided that he’d listen to ...

Torkelson earns support of Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association

To the editor: The Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association, the largest public safety association in Minnesota, is proud to endorse Rep. Paul Torkelson. He is a tremendous supporter of increased public safety for everyone, and supports local law enforcement officers and the important work they do to deter crime and assist victims. The rise in crime across Minnesota is disturbing. Rather than demonizing and defunding the law enforcement community, Torkelson will support police with increased training and work on legislation to ensure that criminals are held accountable for ...
