Missing Outrage

Posted on June 16, 2021

Duluth recently experienced the first homicide of the year on May 22, 2021. Numerous lives have been forever altered as a result of this tragic incident.  I cannot possibly be the only person in the area asking myself “ WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE FROM THE BIPOC COMMUNITY”? The victim was a 22 year old black…

If We Don’t Look for Fraud…

Posted on January 25, 2021February 9, 2021

Some time ago I received the following short commentary and it struck a chord with me.  Perhaps you haven’t seen it.  It came with the note ‘author is unknown’:  “I never cared if you were “gay” or whatever acronym you chose to call yourself, until you started shoving it down my throat.  I never cared…

Stauber Just Doing His Job

Posted on January 19, 2021April 12, 2021

This submission is a response to a DNT Letter to the Editor found here:https://www.duluthnewstribune.com/opinion/letters/6831112-Readers-View-Stauber-has-blood-on-his-hands-too Did you hear the one about the congressman who actually represented his constituents, introduced bills supporting district issues that benefited everyone, and stood by his party in Congress?  No?  Neither did we!  But we should have. I have lived in Duluth…

Open Letter to Mayor Larson: Time for an Attitude Adjustment

Posted on October 22, 2020October 28, 2020

Hi Mayor Emily, I’m not a Duluth native, I know you aren’t either. But I’ve been here a few decades and learned to love the quirky ways of the North. One of the biggest cities in the state, but also a small town, where I’m often surprised how connected the people who live here are….

Landlord Speaks Out About County Letter

Posted on October 20, 2020October 28, 2020

The Real Stories North article regarding the attempt to place the burden of control of Covid-19 on landlords was a good description of the immediate facts as described in the letter from ST LOUIS COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH DIVISION DIRECTOR Amy Westbrook. It also raises some interesting questions about the misleading intent, direction, and implementation of…

Open Letter to Emily Larson from a Fellow Boy Mom

Posted on October 5, 2020October 28, 2020

Hi Emily,As a woman, I feel you. You have a high-profile job making important decisions for 80,000+ people and you face probably more than your fair share of criticism. And honestly, I want to like you, that’s why I started following you on Twitter. But girl… you make it so hard. I was made aware…

Mayoral Hypocrisy

Posted on October 4, 2020October 28, 2020

In response to President Donald Trump coming to Duluth for a campaign rally, the supposed non-partisan Mayor of Duluth, Emily Larson, made some statements calling the President a white supremacist among other things. Real Stories North has debunked the claims of racism against the President but instead of apologizing, it just showed how much of…

DPD: Reining in the Riots

Posted on September 22, 2020October 28, 2020

On Tuesday, September 15th, 2020 there was a BLM protest in Duluth. While the scene itself has received its fair share of news coverage, there is one thing that hasn’t received any news coverage – the Duluth Police Department. Overall, I am impressed with how the Duluth Police Department handled the entire event and Duluthians…

The Cloquet community has a long history of having family-friendly events around major holidays in their community. Labor Day is no exception where the city has a large parade and family-friendly events at Veterans Park. Except this is 2020 and like all things 2020 this year would be different. Due to the COVID 19 pandemic,…

Duluth: Too Far Gone?

Posted on August 5, 2020

Is Duluth too far gone down the road of socialism to be brought back to the middle? That really is the question. If you look at local politics and the current state of the City of Duluth, you have to ask yourself, “is Duluth too far gone?” I mean from the sense of recapturing the…
