I want to thank the Board Members of the Town of Grant for holding a Citizens vote for the passing of the Constitutional Rights Protection Resolution, as pertaining to the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution. It is the finest and oldest way of petitioning our government on a local level and upholds the spirit of…

What did you expect? I would like to address this question to all of you folks who voted for the Biden-Harris team last November. What did you expect? Did you expect that on his first day in office, Biden would eliminate 40,000 high-paying American jobs by rescinding permits for the Keystone XL Pipeline? Did you…

Only a Government Bureaucrat! Only a government bureaucrat could have figured this out and I was dumb enough to pay the bill. Last week I received a bill from the Colfax Post Office and also a bill from the Glenwood City Post Office telling me that the Post Office box rent for this newspaper is…

In last week’s Letter to the Editor, I absent-mindedly substituted New Haven for Hay River. It should have read, “Hay River Township adopted the resolution the same night it was presented.” In April, as Biden was unveiling six executive orders, he said “Nothing I am about to recommend in any way impinges on the Second…

Letter to the Editor: I have noticed some patterns as I visited some of the Dunn County township monthly meetings to support my friends who were presenting the second Amendment resolution. New Haven Township adopted the resolution the same night it was presented. But in some other townships, opposition has been trying to inhibit the…

What can you do for your country? John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, his 1366 word inaugural address, the first delivered to television audiences in color, is considered one of the best presidential inaugural speeches in American history… “And so, my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for…

China, maybe more than a financial threat Last week I wrote about China and my feeling was that they were a threat to us financially, industrially and in the global market place.

To the Editor: It’s time for the Wisconsin Legislature to approve the Medicaid Expansion. To not take the money does not make economic sense. Wisconsin has already lost 2.8 billion dollars from 2013-2019 by not taking the full Medicaid expansion. If we accept the expansion about 91,000 people would be eligible for Badger Care Plus…
