All racism is evil

Andrew Allis, Granville “It’s time we have an honest conversation about race in this country.” So goes the now cliched disingenuous offer usually initialed by the left. Disingenuous because they are not looking to have “a” conversation about race, but only a particular one that fits their narrative of America as a deeply “systemically” racist country. If anyone, especially a white person, disagrees with that premise, then you know what happens. They are called what? You got it, a RACIST (shouted and stated with outrage and moral superiority for the maximum virtue ...

ND media aren’t listening to women

Lana Rakow, West Fargo Charlene Rawson, Lisbon Apparently some media pundits in North Dakota don’t care much how women in North Dakota feel and what they think. The coverage and commentary they are disseminating about Mark Haugen’s decision to leave the U.S. House of Representatives race show how little they understand this new political landscape with angry women in it. When columnists and editorial writers are dismissive of “one issue” taking center stage in North Dakota politics, it’s because they don’t get or don’t care how much reproductive freedom and access ...

Let’s celebrate clean energy

George Merkt, Students For a Conservative Voice, Minneapolis, Minn. National Clean Energy Week is September 26-30, and efforts to implement clean energy in North Dakota should be supported this week.

The ...

That is why they push for private or charter schools that will indoctrinate rather than educate. This latest issue of Critical Race Theory is a very helpful to them to make sure people are afraid of learning the truth about our history. If you attempt to take race out of history, you are no longer teaching history because our nation was built ...

Minot has same old leadership

Bob Ziegler, Minot So we have a new mayor. Unfortunately, we have the same old “leadership.” Instead of an unwanted parking garage, we now have pit bulls running free, biting, maiming and killing. Thanks for nothing mister mayor. 

Unwanted alien profiled

James Maxson, Minot The following seems to be the profile of an unwanted alien. Someone with the equivalent of a fourth grade education. Someone who can’t speak English upon arrival and at best learns to speak English with a deep accent. Someone who comes from a fascist country full of rapists, killers and some very fine people.      Such a person lived with me as a child in Minnesota. The country she left was Germany. She was my mother’s mother, Catherine Sophia Kruse. When she tucked me in at night as a little boy, she often told me how lucky I was to be an American ...
