To the editor: It appears some have lost the value of truth and why we are land of laws. Laws are for the purpose of protecting us from ourselves within a society. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM

To the editor: President Biden’s dishonesty when it comes to America’s border enforcement was further exposed when Border Patrol recently admitted it has flown 320,000 illegal aliens from foreign airports into our country. About 2.3 million illegals have been released into the U.S. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM

To the editor: A letter to the editor is, unequivocally, not an appropriate forum for fundraising. To be fair, however, it’s less appropriate to have to rely on crowdfunding sites for life-saving care. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM

To the editor: When we moved to Leelanau County, we knew the area was blessed with pure, abundant natural resources. After joining the League of Women Voters Energy and Natural Resources Committee, I learned how fragile these resources are and what’s required to protect our water, air, and soil. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM

How long do you expect to live?
The anniversary in March came and went without a peep. It was in March of 1936 that George Gallup did his first public opinion survey and little did he know at the time the Frankenstein he was foisting on our political process but that will be left for another day and time. 04/03/2024 05:09 PM

Leaders suspicious of social media platform: TikTok
What the heck is TikTok? If you think the answer is the soothing sound that comes out of your grandfather clock, you are technically correct but that TikTok noise you hear everywhere else these days has nothing to do with the clock ticking away in your hallway. It has to do with the 150 million Americans of all ages who are spending an average of 11 minutes every time they go on this skyrocketing media platform and they do it an average of eight times a day...A DAY.. 03/27/2024 04:47 PM
Election important
Election important
A writer recently applauded the president for his “many accomplishments” but didn’t mention any of them. Here are some: open borders; influx of criminals and drugs; outrageous fuel and food prices; rising interest rates; attacks on 1st and 2nd amendment rights; forced compliance with green energy; woke ideology; surging crime rates; Two-tiered justice system highlighted by a coordinated legal bombardment against a former president; biological men ruining women’s sports; loss of parental rights; Student loan forgiveness; ignoring Supreme Court decisions. Need I say more? We voters have power to reclaim American values in November, the most important election in history! 03/27/2024 04:47 PM

Dark Sky Week ends in darkness of solar eclipse
In 2024, International Dark Sky Week, April 2-8, ends with an extraordinary astronomical event passing over a large swath of North America: a total solar eclipse. Many U.S. residents are traveling to locations in the “path of totality” to experience the eclipse. Whether or not you are making such a journey, International Dark Sky Week presents an opportunity to revisit why the campaign to curb light pollution is important—and much misunderstood. 03/27/2024 04:47 PM
