The McKnight Foundation (3M), is a member of the U of M 1851 Society (Lifetime gifts and pledges over $25M). So the Koch money is bad but other rich people's money is good?? There's more if you want to look at them:

My point being that people of wealth impact our lives in many different ways, some good and some bad. Because there is a potential sale to WDSE doesn't necessarily mean they are going to cut Democracy Now, Making Contact, Counterspin, Duluth City Council meetings and so on because PBS receives money from the Koch Foundation.

Jimmy Stewart and “Broken Arrow”. (John McCain lived there).

Thank you for a lucid, informative and intelligently written article

"... Trump... probably has never taken the time to study ANY history book that discussed the root causes that led to World War I, WW II..."

While I greatly respect your ideas and your columns, you may want to reconsider the origins of the "big ones," who caused them, and what the German people and the working classes worldwide were up against. You may also want to consider not regurgitating nearly century old propaganda vis a vis Nazis and fascists.

Love the article! Do you have the citations for the ones listed in the article — would love to read a few of them and the numbered footnote links aren’t working. Thanks!

Thanks Ed , as usual

What a darn shame that people on either side let they're feeling control them rather than educated and thoughtful assessment of an argument. Are we adults or big children people? Why must we be ready to cut out each other's throats when we are capable of becoming so much better. Imagine the things humanity could do if it'd just shut up and grow up and stop throwing tantrums because another has a different opinion!

It starts on a good tangent but I could not see any connections to the situation in Italy or Spain?

hey harry, dont forget to pull your head out of your ass for the vote

Thank you, Jim, for giving voice to the vital helping hand a duluth business is lending its community. Your coverage of the Vikre's thinking-out-of-the-box assistance is most welcome reading. Keep up your spot-on, enlightening reporting during these most troubling times!

Warning: this is a heavy science-based article with nearly 100 references to studies—neither Paul or myself want to be accused of fear-mongering.

Where are these references? Would love to see the science and facts behind this article.

We must understand that racism was an Ameican institution, not a southern one. Slavery ended first in the northern states, and later years a in the south, but racism and terorist acts against Black people ovvurred throughout America.
As a person born and raised in Savannah, Ga I know this mother did what was best for her daughter. A daughter who wantes to live in the arms if a White man, and be his Black girl.

Hi, I'm a statistician who has done the statistical proofs that the current ongoing crisis is not independent from 5G tech. I've conducted some statistical hypothesis testing based on official data and came to the conclusion that 5G and COVID-19 are not independent, how do I contact you to share my findings.

your politics are disturbing- barricade the doors and wreck peoples' livelihoods, eh ?? definitely pull your head out of your ass before you ready your next campaign

Thank you for taking the time to do the considerable research needed to write this timely, informative article. You offer fact-based answers to questions readers everywhere are asking. You words and those of your colleagues are helping more people get through these surreal days than you'll ever know.

Leonard Cohen, in his poem "Suzanne," wrote, "There are heroes in the seaweed . . ." Your article about how Park Point artist Natalija Walbridge is keeping her shoulder to the wheel to help those who risk their lives right now to help save the lives of others was most appreciated. Today, more than ever before, we need to discover, share, and support the work of our local heroes. Thanks, Jim, for bringing Ms. Walbridge's heroism to the attention of your readership.

Please share further findings with me here horlla22000@gmail.com. A lot of African countries need to be liberated and properly educated on the dangers of 5G and it's connection with covid-19 before it's too late.
