Statements that are not true

To the editor: Donald Trump is a felon. CO2 is a pollutant. COVID-19 came from nature. There was no fraud in the 2020 elections. White supremacy is the most dangerous thing facing our nation. There is no absolute truth. Get the jab and you won’t get the virus. They don’t need a frightened populace to achieve their dream of global ruing. Regulation without representation has been beneficial to the economy of America. The border is closed. Closing the Keystone Pipeline was a wise move. Biden’’s debate performance came as a total surprise to the mainstream media. The National ...

Comparing elections in Europe to the US

To the editor: My wife and I recently spent two weeks in Europe. Here are a few observations from that trip: We visited Denmark, Germany and Austria, and passed through the mountains in Slovenia and Italy as well. Much like farmers in my area near Lafayette, record rainfalls have plagued Europe as well. Small grains have fared the best, as they were planted early. The corn crop is yellow and sick from loss of nitrogen. Soybeans are looking better, except for drown out areas similar to my farm. We were saddened (but not surprised) to learn of the assassination attempt on President ...

How did it come to this?

To the Editor: Apparently a would-be assassin resorted to political violence this past weekend when he tried to kill the former President. The left has spoken out ad nauseam against political violence, particularly that which has been part and parcel of the right’s messaging. It’s a deplorable and despicable act of misguided partisanship, the kind which the right likes to threaten. Sometimes you reap what you sow. So the lovers of the Second Amendment found out about the perils of gun violence when one of their own fell prey to the reality of gun violence. But this hasn’t ...

Tell the whole story

To the editor: I pray almost every day that Americans will be told what is really happening. Media is only a free press if it is allowed to tell us the whole story. As the left attempts to keep Trump tied up in courtrooms, us real Americans are not being fooled, because, deep down, we know the difference between justice and injustice. What is being done to Donald Trump and his 75 million supporters is nothing short of pure hate. First John 3:15 clearly states: Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.” ...

Problems with downtown plans

To the editor: While reading The Journal regarding area plans approved by the New Ulm City Council, I ran across downtown plans which I see problems with. One problem is changing the downtown parking from angled to parallel parking, which gives us fewer parking spaces and causes problems with some of us who have never been proficient at parallel parking anyway. I am 71 years old and have lived in New Ulm since I was 4 years old. I need to drive into the disabled parking space when available to be able to get near a downtown establishment I wish to go into and parallel parking will keep ...

I saw and listened to the real Joe Biden

To the editor: I saw the real Joe Biden on TV on June 27 at the debate. Joe Biden had to have everything the way he wanted at the debate, he had to have it on CNN, he had to have a week to prepare, he had to have 16 people to advise him who told him how to debate. CNN had it so they could cut the person’s mic that wasn’t talking, so he couldn’t interrupt the person who was talking. CNN also said no teleprompters, no notes, they could have a piece of paper and a pencil. CNN also had the person answering the question had two minutes and one minute for a rebutal. Both Biden and ...
