Thankful for the truth

To the editor: With all the accusations that have been swirling around about our election I’m truly thankful l that the charges have been thoroughly pursued by President Trump’s lawyers and we now know the truth. I’m thankful to have heard Rush Limbaugh, on Monday the 23rd, lash out at the President’s lawyers for repeatedly announcing they had “bombshell news” which would demonstrate the fraud but then in court after court were unable to present even “bullets” of proof. Truth prevailed. I’m thankful to Tucker Carlson of Fox News for pursuing the conspiracy ...

Make your voices heard

To the editor: On November 3, I was proud to cast my vote at precinct 2, at our historic Dee Stadium. I took my 13-year-old son with me so that he could see democracy in action. We put on our masks and were greeted by friendly and efficient poll workers, volunteering their time to uphold the democratic process in the midst of a pandemic. I cast my ballot and got my sticker; my son got one too, excited for the time when he could cast his own ballot.  Despite countless odds, Michigan voters turned out to vote in historic numbers. They made it known that our country’s path has run off ...

Some statistics

To the editor: Some statistics: Michigan has twice the population of Finland, 16 times the cases of coronavirus and 20 times the deaths— as of Nov. 9. In Finland, they simply followed the guidelines, didn’t fight and lie and demonize. For months already they’ve been having schools and businesses open (with common sense measures). So those Finns are doing the best in the world as of today’s news, which I read in a Finnish newspaper (Helsingin Sanomat) on my smartphone. That could be Michigan if we were a lot smarter. It’s no surprise that Finland continues to very ...

Million MAGA March

To the editor: Some may ask why I attended the march. After hearing from direct family members and friends who went down to the TCF Center in Detroit to be poll watchers-about the voter fraud that they themselves witnessed and testified on-it was no longer a question. It was a duty. While there I was once again struck by President Trump’s tireless fight for the American people, I was moved emotionally when reviewing history thru the Memorials on The Mall, and I was impacted by the worldwide impact this election has. President Trump has fought tirelessly for the American people, ...

Time to end the hate

To the editor: In the spring of 2019, Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Florida, where he railed about the caravans of immigrants trying to come into America, and he asked the crowd, what can we do with them?  Someone in the crowd yelled, “Shoot them!”  The crowd laughed, and Trump laughed.  He laughed. Three months later, a white man in Houston grabbed his assault rifle, got into his pickup truck and drove to El Paso, where he went into a Walmart and shot a bunch of people, because they “looked Mexican.” This is your president.  This is the man you tout as being ...

Way to go, UPHS-Portage

To the editor: With so much negative all around us, the Copper Country has a gem right here in our back yard, something truly to cheer about. I am talking about the addition of orthopedic surgeon Dr. Aaron Leineager. What a welcome addition to the Portage family. Dr. Leineager just did a total knee for me and wow, what an amazing, wonderful experience. Dr. Leineager went from a surgeon to our friend. He is so kind, polite, caring and very patient. He listens when you talk and will answer any and all questions you have. His staff is so welcoming, like they are happy to see you nd ...
