In January, the New York Times asked President Donald Trump if there were any limits on his global powers. "Yeah," the president responded, "there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me." That was eight months ago, but fortunately Christopher Nolan's ...
To the Journal editor: Ryan Soucy’s Letter to the Editor in late July, “We Need A Better Conversation About Data Centers” needs some clarification. His comment that data centers “generally cannot be prohibited throughout an entire community", is not correct. If a community feels that the infrastructure needs that a business requires to produce its product, and, or, the product produced is incompatible with the stated values for that community, they may declare that a data center business is not allowed. Examples would be rocket launch sites, strip clubs or cannabis ...
Where are the good ideas for municipal government coming from these days, ideas that address a specific need and the funding to implement it. From where we sit, good ideas along these lines have always come from both the government itself and the people it represents. Get those two elements working in tandem and things start to happen. That seems to be the case with plans to set up a summer off-leash dog park in the city of Marquette, to be located just past the NTN North Trails 550 trailhead. A lot of dog owners support this effort which was identified in the city's 2025 Master Plan ...
Elon Musk will be spending $100 million to $120 million in at least eight states to help elect Republicans in November, according to The New York Times. Musk's spending is set to begin next month, targeting Senate races in Alaska, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, and Ohio, and potentially North ...
While it might seem to some that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is throwing good money after bad fighting the invasive sea lamprey, we support continued efforts by this agency and others to rid the Great Lakes and adjacent waters of the nasty invasive species. Sea lamprey are parasitic fish native to the Atlantic Ocean that invaded the Great Lakes via shipping canals in the early 1900s. They attach to fish with a suction-cup mouth lined with sharp teeth, feed on their body fluids, killing up to 40 pounds of fish during their parasitic phase. Many Great Lakes anglers can ruefully ...
America has been a very long time in its making. It has taken 4.6 billion years to get from initial formation of the Earth to today. During that time, plate tectonic processes created pieces of land that "drifted" around the world, colliding with each other to make larger land masses like Pangaea, then rifted apart into smaller land masses that drifted apart. About 1.1 billion years ago, the Mid-Continent rift began to tear our region apart. Lake Superior overlies a segment of this rift. The Grenville Province, another drifting land mass, subsequently collided with the eastern edge of ...
