Calls for a higher level of respect for those who disagree

I’ve got some thoughts about last week’s Republican Party picnic held in the Medford City Park and words spoken later in Perkinstown. I was not at either event but saw video of both. Many of the picnic attendees are people who have built businesses, served on multiple boards and have contributed in real ways to do good things in our area. A majority of the protesters have also built, served...

Writer debunks myths about voting

Misinformation about elections is spreading faster than the facts that debunk it, and it's time to set the record straight. Take absentee mail voting: some claim it isn't safe, but in Wisconsin, every mail ballot is tracked from request to return, and voters can check its status anytime at MyVote.wi.gov.

The contents of the waste basket had been dumped onto the floor. An attempt was made to plug u...

Ego is the enemy

Our justice system is drowning in bias. Whether it is ignorance or deliberate, the Citizens United ruling is destroying democracy. I understand we need rules, but the cycle of law givers to judges, who interpret those rules does not ensure justice will happen. Why, try suing a billionaire, or Elon Musk, they will litigate you right out of existence, and passing Citizen’s United, let it happen. ...

Writer points out what he sees as steps in stupidity

A few weeks ago, we looked at maybe the king pin of stupidity, which was saying that a boy could become a girl and a girl could become a boy. The writer quoted Mark 10:6 where God clearly stated that from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. Indeed, it is pretty stupid to tell God that he doesn't know what he is talking about. The next step in stupidity may not be quite as ...
