Fraud ending

June 12, 2026

To the Journal editor: I must express my satisfaction that the biggest fraud perpetrated on the world, namely global warming/climate change, is ending. In deference to the true believers who asserted that the science is in, there is about 600 million years of carbon dioxide data (Berner 2001) and global temperature data (Scotese 2002). The irony of it all is that these true believers are the very people who chose to ignore it under the misconception that if it happened before they were born, it couldn’t be important. However, this data shows, global CO2 in the Cambrian Period at ...

Give peace a chance

June 9, 2026

To the Journal editor: I would like to believe that as a civilization we would evolve not only intellectually, but at the same time, learn how to focus our vast multitude of cultures on the goal of striving for peace and the well-being of each and every person. At this point in our history I think it would be fair to ask the question, why is there such widespread anger and violence encroaching on the human race? Why are we fighting each other rather than supporting and holding each other up? One would think we'd have surpassed the desire to perpetuate this anger and violence in our ...

Where are his priorities?

June 8, 2026

Vince Lombardi was famously quoted as saying that his priorities were: God, family and the Green Bay Packers, in that order. He was the last NFL coach to win three consecutive NFL championships in '65, '66 and '67. The Packers’ Lambeau Field is now located on a street named after him. His statue is at the entrance to the stadium. The Super Bowl trophy is named after him. His legacy was earned by his excellent on-the-job performance. Donald Trump’s apparent priorities are: God, Trump and corruption. He hijacks religious sentiment to promote Christian nationalism as a method ...

USPS still useful, Stephen Moore useless

June 5, 2026

So, political hack and former Trump lackey Stephen Moore wants us to believe that the USPS is no longer useful. He could not be more wrong. Moore also expresses his clear resentment for DEI in the USPS. He so cannot stand the use of the USPS worker title "postal carrier" or "letter carrier" instead of the antiquated "postman" that he had to mention it twice in the same editorial. Although some Americans have taken the easy way out by sending "I love you" and "happy birthday" messages electronically, many Americans still write letter and cards by hand and mail them via USPS. The fact ...

Post office food drive a success

June 1, 2026

To the Journal editor: May 9 was our annual "Stamp Out Hunger" food drive. The NALC Br. #95 picked up 4,500 lbs. of non-perishable goods. Even in these current tougher times with increased costs, the people of Marquette still came through to fill our local pantries. Branch #95 thanks you for your generosity! Your donations went to the following: Janzen House, Room at the Inn Warming Center, Salvation Army, St. Vincent de Paul and the Women’s Center/Harbor House. We would also like to thank the Marquette United Way for their continued support of this food drive. And a special thanks ...
