Do your research please

Letters

To the editor: While I realize that writing a letter to the editor is a way to express one’s opinions on current events, I would just like to ask that everyone does a little research before writing one. In the recent letter dated June 4 “Trump doing the best he can for all of us” the author referred to the cancellation of the Keystone Pipeline “eliminating 11,000 six figure jobs.” This information is totally false and took me all of 2 minutes on Google to find multiple sources that labeled this as false. This is just one example of many I have seen in the opinion pieces in ...

You call this a concept of a plan?

Letters

To the editor: You’ve heard it said many times in your life that actions speak louder than words. That was a sentiment stated recently in a letter to the editor in this publication. Well, let me tell you, my fellow Americans, that Iowa’s Senator Jody Ernst really stepped into a pile of her own making and did her best to disprove that age-old axiom. At a recent town hall Senator Ernst in a symbolic pair of red slacks tries to justify proposed cuts to Medicaid with this revelation: “We’re all going to die.” Thank you, Captain Obvious. (I’m glad she was prepared for the ...

Too little too late

Letters

To the editor: A new book by CNN’s Jake Tapper reveals, too little too late, that former President Joe Biden was kept away not only from the public eye, but also from White House staff as his mental acuities were diminishing rapidly in the final days, weeks, months of his Presidency. Outside of his poor debate performance, I never saw anything that would have alarmed me, and thanks to his having a resourceful and competent staff we never seemed to be in any imminent danger as a nation. Of course, the current President was always on his projection soap box in his attack of “Sleepy ...

To the editor: I’d encourage everyone who is concerned about fraud and scam artists and even all others who should be wary. Tune in to the NUCAT Channel (New Ulm Community Access TV station) to find when the televised program on fraud and scammers was given with lots of useful preventative information on how to prevent getting caught up in a scammer snare potentially losing all your hard-earned money. Over 300 people attended this free informational beware and “look out” session at the St. Paul Lutheran Church gathering room on May 28. The presenters, knowledgeable and ...

Disgraceful leadership of Minnesota

Letters

To the editor: The leadership of this state is worst than pathetic. They took an $18 billion dollar surplus and blew it on ridiculous: nonsensical projects to maybe benefit a few while draining vital assets from true worthwhile needs, especially for our vets, past and present. Our vets served our country honorably to protect all our freedoms but now live on the streets to survive. What a disgrace to Minnesota and the nation. With tariffs to take more of our money, raising costs of everything, to include insurance premiums, Minnesota will now tax away what few dollars we citizens have ...

Trump doing the best he can for all of us

Letters

To the editor: As we sit back and observe the huge number of naysayers about President Trump, it leads to the question, What do you know about being President and what it takes to have the knowledge to lead this wonderful country? When we look back at the decisions that have to be made and those have been made, President Trump has not been afraid to answer the citizens of our nation. Whether you agree with him or not, we can be assured that he is doing the best he can for the future of all of us.  The past administration has dug us into a deep pit, which President Trump is trying to ...
