Trump’s not the one To the Journal editor: This nation is and has been in trouble for a long time, probably since its founding days and is not getting any better. This electoral college elected President Trump acts as if he has carte blanche to do as he pleases against the wishes and ...
New bus route appreciated To the Journal editor: Marq-Tran’s new Shopper Shuttle and Trowbridge route includes GFS, Lowes and Meijer. One of the buses is there each half hour, which is very convenient for everyone. Now, if you take the shuttle to the Westwood Mall, you only have a ...
To the Journal editor: It’s my 80th Fathers Day and it would be all too easy to be drawn into thinking that life is almost over and there is little of significance remaining for one to do at this stage in life. Not true. There is something of God in all of us and our number one task is to ...

To the Journal editor: My Prayers Say It All. (If that’s not enough, what is?) “The effectual prayer of a righteous man availeth much!” Part B of the sixteenth Verse in the fifth Chapter of James, KJV of the Holy Bible. Part A reads: “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one ...
To the Journal editor: The highest evolved species on this beautiful planet is the only one that hates its own kind with a passion. Almost daily there are more websites, talk radio and TV shows devoted to the big business of sowing “hate.” Hate of this, that and the other is becoming ...
To the Journal editor: Re: “Torture works” letter ... in The Mining Journal on May 22. Surprised that (the letter writer) learned about “torture” in U.S. Air Force training. One does not gain useful information from torture. Case in point: FBI interrogation gleaned a wealth of ...

To the Journal editor: I would like to respond to Ms. Victoria Anderson’s letter of May 28. I start by saying, I respect her opinions, fears and especially her knowledge of the Heller decision. And I respect her tone. Too many times discussions on guns devolve into extremists on both sides ...
To the Journal editor: Well, once again the news of this administration is terrible. Just when we think they cannot do anything else so stupid. So (recently) it was announced that we are taking children away from their parents, no matter how small the children are! And I was going to ...
To the Journal editor: The Mining Journal’s May 27 article on Menards dark store status (“Escanaba will return to state tax tribunal”) demonstrates that our legislators and administrators are, paradoxically, overpaid and underpaid. The decision to grant Menards dark store status deals ...
