Bergman didn’t uphold his oath

EDITOR: U.S. Rep. Jack Bergman, always features his U.S. Marine background in his public persona. U.S. Marines have their famous motto “Semper Fi,” or Always Faithful. With Bergman’s signing on to Trump’s unconstitutional lawsuit to overturn election results, the motto should be changed to “Numquam Fi,” Never Faithful. Bergman took the following oath: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this ...

Bergman took a stand — for Texas

EDITOR: I think I speak for the majority of Michigan voters when I express gratitude to U.S. Rep. Jack Bergman, for courageously taking a stand and supporting the lawsuit taken to the Supreme Court by the Texas Attorney General aimed at canceling out Michigan votes. Many agree: Elections are a waste of time and money. If Walmart, Amazon, Facebook and the drug and insurance companies could directly choose the president, they could save money on campaign contributions and workers would not create inefficiencies by taking time off to vote. As we know, this would increase profits and ...

Election results made sense

There were rumors swirling before the election that the voting machines in Michigan were rigged for Joe Biden. I know of someone locally who intentionally tested this baseless theory and tried to vote twice on one sheet for Joe Biden by checking the Democratic Box, meaning all Democrats on the sheet would get a vote, and then by checking Joe Biden’s box also. The sheet was kicked back out by the machine and not accepted. The person had to get a new sheet and vote again. I was just curious how many citizens know that after the 2016 election, in which Trump lost the popular vote, ...

Against hunting wolves in UP

I urge your readers to contact the Michigan Natural Resources Council and our state legislators and ask them to oppose the opening of any wolf hunting or trapping seasons in Michigan. Unfortunately, the Trump Administration recently removed Endangered Species Act protections for wolves in Michigan and surrounding areas in the western Great Lakes even though wolf numbers and habitat have not recovered to historical standards. Wolves are vital components of healthy ecosystems. Unlike human hunters, wolves tend to cull the weaker members of their prey species, thus maintaining the ...

Plot behind president-elect

EDITOR: Now that the election is past, it’s not hard to figure out why it went the way it has gone. It appears that a member of the “Deep State” and coup trying to remove President Trump from office is now the president-elect. Mr. Joe Biden, former president Barack Obama, the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton (who put up $10,000) collaborated with Mr. Christopher Steele for the fake dossier, all the while Mr. Steele was being paid undercover for the FBI. President Donald Trump for four years has had this pack of pit bulls on his case as if he were a mailman. ...

Public needs virus relief now

This is the third time I have written about the pandemic. On March 30, I stated we were at war with an invisible enemy and what easy basic things we could do to lessen the spread. On Oct. 28, I researched and shared ideas from mental health professionals on what we could do to keep us from becoming complacent while fostering our mental health. Since that last article we have reached 266,000 deaths nationwide. I have no doubt that we will reach 300,000 before Christmas. After reading the four pages of obituaries in Saturday’s Daily News I am beyond angry at the selfishness of our ...
