Article Hoisted on a thousand petards

Dear Harry Welty - Your columns inspire us! We are fond of burning music mixes to CD's when we are inspired by a person's art or stance. I take suggestions from my housemate & do the technical & artistic work of blending it all into a CD. My housemate has long admired your admiration for Abe Lincoln. I have made a CD around his suggestions. We would like to present you with a copy. What is the best way of doing this?

My email is music9maniac@gmail.com. Hope we can get you your CD soon!

Article Project 2025 updates 1984

Ed - really enjoy your articles and agree with everything you say. Just one issue with this particular article - the use of Gulf of America several times. Yes you also included in parentheses Gulf of Mexico but IMHO you are giving credence to Don the Con ludicrous attempt to change the name.

Article Nesting chickadees

Really enjoyed your post and wish you would write more about chickadees I really enjoy feeding them mealworms in my yard they practically land on me to get to them.

Article Capitol capital corruption

Social trends come and go. But Simon Peter said to Jesus, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus said to Peter, "On this rock I will build my church, and the Gates of Hades shall not prevail against it."

Article No Exit

Andy, you are an talented cartoonist! You can throw away your Bible when Israel ceases to exist. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Article The family that plays together...

Great article that could seriously use a bit of proofreading. And in the digital world, it's never too late to fix stuff if anyone cares to. Thank you!

Article A new GGGG syndrome

Just goes to show, Martin Loser wanted to kill all participants in the Christmas pagent. We're you never in the Marine Brig.

Article The psychiatric drug-induced suicides of Ernest…

"medical records and enforce testimony"
Medical records are not worth anything, regardless of Laws Regulations Policies that are binding and meant to be followed. It is an assumption that notes will be accurate and complete and thorough. Testimony will follow the notes. Too easy. As long as there has been no straying from colleagues and peer review and accepted practices the power imbalances will remain intact. Providers, hospital, research, stakeholders, lawyers, advisors, economists, et al., thrive on words, language, speech. If there is money to be made, to be had, then the costs to "others" is irrelevant, even when that other is high profile and well liked. The inbuilt automatic protections in place for providers, prescribers and "treaters" are always favoured. When things make their way to courts it is because there is a chance of proving a valid temporal cause. Take the pill and death occurs. But when someone already has a history of illness/es the convoluted pathway to proof is almost impossible to evidence.
Notice how when a court case is won the laws will be changed so that future wins will be minimised or favour providers. Sadly, those in positions who could, who used to fight are now aging, aged and no longer do battle. There might be some younger legal services who might address negligence, but they all want to win dollars. Class actions are also an option, but the paltry fines for wrong-doers are not deterrents, merely an optical cover to be seen to be doing something!

Article Trump is on the right

Thanks for taking us where we don't want to go, but where we need to go. Start now to win the mid-term elections and take our country back. Call them what they are, remind us of history, warn us of the danger we are in. God is with us.

Article Rumination on a parade

I want to sincerely thank and commend Mr. Anderson for this column, those Death Machines that scream across the sky at "patriotic" displays are sickening, I know those those are used to exterminate innocent men, women and children around the world (likely right this minute in Gaza, e.g.) it is sick to be excited by Thanatos, puts one in the category of Serial Killer fans. I have called out Mr. Anderson back when he was still a Genocide denier (for 14 months) and writing sickening encomiums to the "decency" of Segregationist-Genocide Joe and Kop Kamala, imagining that the DemoCrap Lesser Evil party would do anything different than the RapePublicans, when they both have the same donors. Glad that Phil has regained some integrity and "decency" himself with the Demo handover of power to the lunatic Trump, thank you, I actually look forward to reading your work now.

Article The anti-everything family

There is a lot Jesus said and did that we don’t know about, so don’t assume he did not address homosexuality in his ministry. All we know is what the gosples recorded. Jesus talked about marriage, adultery, and also eunuchs. Mary Magdalene was never identified as a prostitute, only that Jesus cast devils out of her. People assume it was sexual because she was a woman. He cast devils out of men, and it was not assumed the devils were sexual. The main point of the gospels is that they are a New Testament of the Holy Spirit as our guide replacing the Old Testament of the law. Heterosexual people sin through sex, and homosexual people do too. We all need to try to be honest and true in our sexual relations, that is the main thing, to avoid hurting other people.

Correction: …”replacing only guidance only by the Old Testament.”

Article I’m voting for Loren Martell

I just lost in 2025 to Loren Martell. I have read some of his articles where he picked on school board members, but I've also read articles where he was right on point about the fiscal budget. I'm disappointed the same people keep running and it doesn't give room for other newcomers. I only lost by 57 votes in the primary and I'm depressed about it.

Article Nine terrifying words

Ed ,time is running out. If you say the blessed.rosary and go to confession you are fixed. Further comment regarding your eternal place shall not be necessary. Be somebody!

Article A felonious assault by sandwich

Listen to David Suchet reading first Corinthinians on U-tube, because you seem to have interest in reality. INTERESTING.

Article Tall Toons

Just learned if your magazine from a friend. So happy to find I can see it online as I live in the Twin Cities and not available to the print one.
I liked the pages my friend sent me! Keep up
The good work! We need more like you.

Article The Lyin’ King and sickofans

Sock it to them! Great job! But I think you are wrong to criticize any member of the military because of their assignment. They are part of a team and all are dependent on each other. My father was in the infantry, he was killed in action at Normandy in WW II. My stepfather, also a career officer, was an Army information officer during the Viet Nam War. He died from heart disease. I always thought of him as a casualty of that war. They are both heroes to me. They gave up a lot to serve in the military.

Article The Lyin’ King and sickofans

P.S. I had two other relatives who served during Viet Nam. One of them had to go and visit families of the fallen, and he ended up having ptsd.
