Electing Donald Trump ‘will doom democracy’

From Jim Thoreen,

Glenwood

When Donald Trump was in the White House he told then Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham to use his method of lying: “As long as you keep repeating something, it doesn’t matter what you say.”

I offered those words in a recent letter to the editor.  So, when the former President called the guilty verdict in his trial in effect a miscarriage of justice, he started what undoubtedly will be a constant barrage of “the system is rigged” or other mis-characterizations of his trial, no one will be shocked.

What all of us need to be is aware of the basics.  Unless a verdict favors him it is incorrect or faulty.  If an issue is raised in contradiction to his “truth,” again someone is lying or simply doesn’t understand how the world goes around.

Electing Donald Trump to the Presidency will doom democracy as we know it.

Read newspapers, Read national magazines.  Listen to sources which are not bowing in obeyance to Trump.

As to this Fall and our responsibility as citizens: VOTE.  It is easy to simply throw up our hands and walk away.  The better path to a vibrant American Government is to meet our obligation to be informed and act on that knowledge.

Vote.  It is a privilege and honor.  Our fallen veterans, especially, deserve it.

Thanks to donors for supporting blood drive

From Mary Gross,

American Red Cross Coordinator

On behalf of the American Red Cross, I would like to thank all of the people that donated blood at our drive on Tuesday May 28,2024. The drive was held at Glenwood Lutheran Church which is always a welcoming facility. Thank you for accommodating this worthy cause.

The blood drive collected 76 units on Tuesday. This was 14 units more than the Red Cross had scheduled. It was another fantastic day!

I would also like to thank my gracious and dependable volunteers who continue to be available and willing to help at the event.

The next blood drive will be held at Sacred Heart Catholic Church on Tuesday October 8,2024. Please go online to register if you would like to donate.

Thank you.

Sen. McCain was a RINO, and Trump is not a bad guy

From Inga Mae B. Urke,

Starbuck 

I wish to comment on the May 13 Letter to Editor by thanking by thanking the author, Mary Hoffman for writing “Be careful who we call a hero.”

I totally agree with the writer on his negative comments about John McCain and I believe they are true!    I used to have great respect for McCain until he became a RINO and I was totally disgusted with his actions after that and was thankful that the writer pointed them out.

I am so totally fed up with all the false accusations made against Donald Trump and I personally do not believe any of them  He is a Christian now and I know that he prays and I do believe what he states to the public to be absolute truth.  It has been totally disgusting to see how he has been treated in court day after day and I strongly feel he should never even have had to go to Court because I feel he is innocent of the accusations made against him.  The two who totally deserve being in Court are Joe Biden and his son but no matter what they do wrong that is very harmful to our country,  they get no criticism and don’t  get investigated!

If Trump is as bad as they insist on claiming, how do they explain the HUGE crowds of supporters that show up for his meetings and how do they explain how the Blacks are now even supporting him?  Biden doesn’t seem to want to support law enforcement in spite of the fact that 118 officers were killed in the line of duty in 2023 and 79,000 attacks have been reported.

Biden does nothing to change the illegal border crossings in spite of our own citizens having been killed or raped by them.   Whoever is giving free beer to homeless alcoholics needs his head examined!  Biden says he inherited inflation from Trump along with other false accusations that need to stop!   Worst of all, he seems to so far want to refrain from helping Israel and we need only go to the Bible to see what that means.
