Trump and Medal of Honor comment

August 29, 2024

Repeating lies about Donald Trump doesn’t make them any truer the second time around. It’s not hard to take statements out of context. Twisting words to depart from the true meaning of the statements is an underhanded way of propagating lies, a favorite Democrat trick. Trump only meant he was glad she didn’t have to be wounded in order to get a medal. Kamala Harris says she is going to do all the things that Trump said he would do, but she has had almost four years to do those things and has not done any. Trump does what he says he will do. The world is depending on Americans ...

Trump and the Medal of Honor

August 22, 2024

Dickinson County veterans should be outraged at “bone spurs” Donald Trump’s recent remarks about the Medal of Honor. “But I really, I watched Sheldon sitting so proud in the White House when we gave Miriam the Presidential Medal of Freedom,” he said. “That’s the highest award you can get as a civilian. It’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor, but civilian version. It’s actually much better, because everyone gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or ...

Didn’t like Trump debate attacks

August 15, 2024

Imagine this scenario: All the residents of Dickinson County are gathered together. Someone with a microphone addressing all the citizens starts making fun of and humiliating a parent whose child has a terrible drug addiction. I hope those reading this letter will agree that is too mean of behavior to be acceptable. That is exactly the behavior Donald Trump displayed, as he did exactly that to President Joe Biden in one of their presidential debates in 2020 regarding Biden’s son, Hunter. Not being certain who to vote for in the coming election, I started doing some research on both ...

Tab collection needed this week

August 14, 2024

EDITOR: To all of you who collect aluminum can tabs for the Ronald McDonald House in Milwaukee, I would like to have them turned in this week at the collection sites. After I pick them up and get a final count, etc., I will deliver them to Goldin Iron & Metal Recycling in Kaukauna, Wis. I will not be picking them up anymore for a while, probably permanently. Continue to collect them but keep them at your homes. Another letter will follow at a later date. The Tab Toss this spring in Milwaukee collected more than 4,000 pounds — 6.6 million tabs — in two to three hours. ...

Need to get rid of fake unifiers

August 13, 2024

In response to Mr. Rahoi’s opinion of Donald Trump, I have one question: Did you ever hear what Joe Biden says about President Trump? That liar spoke of unity from his teleprompter but started the world on fire with his actions. We are on the brink of World War III and a recession because of the policies and actions of his administration and that of the “deep state.” God knows he never had the presence of mind to cause anything but chaos on his own. How about the inflation that they claim is not happening? Don’t be fooled by the rhetoric and propaganda. Democrats are no longer ...

Trump can’t help himself

August 7, 2024

EDITOR: At the Republican National Committee convention Donald Trump, humbled some by the assassination attempt, spoke the words I have been waiting to here: That Republicans, Democrats and Independents need to come together as Americans and be unified. (Years ago, there was a common bond that Americans felt within themselves, no matter the difference in political alliance or opinions; that has dissipated.) Trump’s change of rhetoric and attitude lasted less than 24 hours, and then it was back to hurling unjust personal insults, negativity, speaking untruths, etc. ... It’s obvious ...
