Are they key or does your loyalty to a particular party take precedence?  Or is it merely family tradition? Are you a single issue only voter? What are the consequences of a political party’s policies? These are some … [Read more...]

To the Editor, When going to vote this November, remember that if your mother would have had you aborted, you would not be alive today. Vote for candidates who will protect LIFE from natural conception to natural death! God Bless America! Eleanore Jones Spring Valley, Minn. … [Read more...]

By Nancy Bratrud Preston, MN Have you voted yet?  My mother, a first-generation American, told me to always vote!  While I haven’t always done as my mother told me to do, voting is imperative.

He proclaimed in bold letters that he is “Pro-Gun”!   I felt suddenly cold  as a chill came over me. Our country  has more guns than people!

To the Editor, Trump stole top secret documents and lied about it. This criminal act involved thousands of stolen records. There were 46 empty folders that had contained classified documents. These are not the actions of a decent sane person. Were the missing papers lost, destroyed, hidden, or sold? Now he vilifies the FBI and DOJ. On the day of the violent coup attempt, … [Read more...]
