Letter to the Editor: Common Ground
To the Editor:There is common ground for those who voted for, or against, Donald Trump to be President of the United States again. First, we can all agree that he won the election. Second, Kamala Harris did not whine and lie to the American people that she really won. And third, since it was a free democratic election, the American people will get the government they deserve.
Letter to the Editor: The Trump Report 03/30/25
Dear Editor,Just one boring week. That’s all our country needs. Just one week without chaos. But we have the
incompetent Trump Administration trying to run our country and mayhem ensues. (Yes, this is long but it
is a complicated subject with a lot of website sources. Sorry if this is taxing your mind.)
Several years ago, when I was attending grad school for my Master’s in Nonprofit Management, there
was a detailed discussion in one of my classes about Crisis Management.

Elementary School in Snippets
Dear Mrs. Hodgson, I have to admit my memory of what I learned in elementary school is pretty vague. I mean, apparently I learned to do the basics, read, write, math etc...but my memories of elementary school are just snapshots of those years. There was one bright spot in those years and it was your class. You were the teacher who introduced me to science.
Letter to the Editor: The Trump Report 03/23/25
Dear Editor,Did you know the United States is at war with Venezuela? No, I did not either but according to the Trump Administration under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, the administration has the authority to round up anyone from Venezuela that they deem illegal in the U.S. who they think are members of a violent gang and ship them to El Salvador because Trump has concocted a war with Venezuela.
Taxation Time: The Original April Fool’s Joke
It's that time of the year. Time to gather all the receipts, pull the bank statements and start a tally so that Uncle Sam won't come knocking on my door for not paying my taxes. Governments have been taxing people since the dawn of civilization. If they could have figured out how to tax fire, air, or human misery, they would have. (Actually, they kinda did.
St. Patrick: The Missionary Who Transformed Ireland
St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is best known for his missionary work, which played a crucial role in converting the Irish people to Christianity. Though his early life was marked by hardship, his return to Ireland as a Christian missionary changed the course of Irish history forever.Born in Roman Britain around 385 AD, Patrick came from a wealthy Christian family. Letter to the Editor: The Trump Report--03/16/2025
The Trump Report--03/16/2025First, a couple of things to clear up.Point 1-Ever since election day when Trump won the electoral college, Trump supporters keep touting the misconception that Trump won by a landslide and no one should challenge anything he does because the voters have spoken. There is a difference between the electoral college and the raw voter total. Letter to the Editor: Democrats this Week
Dear Editor,Rosemary this week: the Democrats have no solutions. They hate Trump. That is their message. They just rant about Trump being bad. Nothing else! Biden and his Crime Family of Democrats did nothing for our country, and instead, they squandered their time to promote freak shows and a failed Green Energy policy that made their friends in China a lot richer.

15 Years sounds like a long time, but where did the time go?
15 years ago today, began an experiment into what we thought was reinventing news. When you're on the cusp of something big you don't know that. What began as an experiment to reinvent news, like it should be done, started first in a little office under the name of a newspaper. In that building I had the chance to work with some of the best people. Ironically, I didn't arrive there at their request, but rather a, "hey, let me help and sell some ads for you, just pay me some commission," type of deal. Letter to the Editor: Klimesh Intends To Push Wind Turbines Forever
Dear Editor,On March 4, 2025 all three senators on the subcommittee came out in favor of SF 376. Mike Klimesh, (R, Winneshiek County), Mike Bousselot (R, Polk County), and Izaah Knox (D, Polk County) are choosing to ignore the citizens of Iowa that do not want the State to take over local control currently endowed to the counties. If you watched this meeting on Zoom, it became quite obvious that these senators already had their minds made up.
