Trump, who ran a shock and awe presidential campaign that stressed making America great again, building a wall along the Mexican border, renegotiating trade agreements, passing tougher immigration laws, rescinding Obamacare, nominating conservative Supreme Court justices, and promising to bring the factories back to America, was right in step with Roseau County, which saw Mr. Trump outpolling Hillary Clinton, 5,437 to 1,829 - or 70.11 percent of the total vote. In the process, Trump al...

"We had 30 people," said Hammer, smiling when asked if this was the first ever lefse-making class at the library. "It is!" she said with the enthusiasm of the Galloping Gourmet. She explained...

It's Saturday evening, we have an early deadline this week, so I can't wait until Wednesday morning to see who wins this bloody election and then add my two cents' worth. It would be the first two cents that I contributed to either party. I'm just glad it's over although if it's Trump, we're screwed. He scares me and fascinates me, much like Hitler must have scared and fascinated the Germans, so much so that they thought, "He'll be all right. He's just talking." He wasn't. He meant every damn...

Some people are saying… they believe our nation is quickly degrading into a lawless society. Most certainly… in light of the very recent upsurge in violent crime in our major cities… the murderous animosity towards police officers… the increased number of road rage incidents… people are beginning to take matters into their own hands.
