Thanks to Biden

Thanks to Biden

To the editor: In 1945, as World War II ended, the economy shifted from war time to peace time while returning GIs looked for jobs. Inflation skyrocketed. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM

‘Dumbfounded’

‘Dumbfounded’

To the editor: I was dumbfounded to see Leelanau County Sheriff Mike Borkovich standing—in full uniform— behind Trump in Grand Rapids last week, in multiple photos and videos. I wondered: Was the Sheriff on the clock and driving a county-owned vehicle to stand behind a man who did not support the Capitol Police on January 6, 2021? I was astonished to read “Sheriff Takes Stage with Trump” in the Enterprise, including his rationale—immigration law. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM

American values ending

American values ending

To the editor: Traditional American values are ending, thanks to Joe Biden. His administration is responsible for opening borders with subsequent drug-related deaths; turning schools into indoctrination centers for woke ideology; opposing gasoline and natural gas as fuels; pacifying enemies Iran and China; calling violent crime understandable as a sign of social justice; reworking the justice system to punish political opponents; supporting a biased media; wiping out meritocracy as a standard for excellence; weakening American families with transgenderism and blurring classic roles of fathers and mothers; increasing the national debt to 35 trillion; encouraging inflation; and attacking the 2nd Amendment. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM

‘Protecting borders not political’

‘Protecting borders not political’

To the editor: Protecting our borders is an American issue, not political. I’m grateful for Sheriff Borkovich’s attendance at the Grand Rapids rally. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM

‘Bludgeoned with flagpoles’

‘Bludgeoned with flagpoles’

To the editor: Sheriff Borkovich, as a selfproclaimed “ constitutional sheriff” you chose to be photographed with a presidential candidate who has stated he would “terminate” parts of the constitution. What parts of the constitution are you OK with terminating? Should the 12th amendment go? The one Congress was trying to fulfill when Trump incited a riot at the Capitol to stop the Electoral college count? What about the 140 injuries sustained by your brothers in blue while defending the Capitol — bludgeoned with flagpoles, assaulted with bear spray, repeatedly shocked with electric cattle prods, gas masks ripped off. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM

‘Disdains the rule of law

‘Disdains the rule of law

To the editor: Sheriff Borkovich stood onstage beside a twiceimpeached ex-president (not convicted), who’s accused of sexual abuse and financial fraud, who attacks judges and prosecutors, who allowed police to be bloodied by his insurrectionists, who disdains the rule of law. To this lawless figure, Leelanau’s top lawman lends his tacit endorsement. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM

Omena-ites witness total eclipse, mourn Deibel

While many here in Omena enjoyed seeing the partial eclipse, a number of Omena-ites were able to be in places where they could witness the total eclipse. Crowds gathered all around Indianapolis, and Shapiro’s Delicatessen was one of those spots. Sally Shapiro reported that many hotels in Indy had several day minimum stays, so the deli was busy all weekend, through Monday. Quite a few people made Shapiro’s parking lot their spot for eclipse-watching. Brian and Sally and all of their staff took turns going outside to watch the eclipse. Sally put eclipse glasses on her camera and got some good pictures. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM
