Opinions

It would seem that the far left in this nation has lost its collective mind. For the first time in Olympic history a person born a male will compete in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as a woman. That’s right, Laurel Hubbard will be the first transgender in, get this, weightlifting for the New Zealand...
Just over a year ago the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul erupted into fiery chaos as a Minneapolis police killed George Floyd, a black man, after he (Floyd) had attempted to pass a fake $20 bill. Portions of the Twin Cities were set ablaze. The chaos spread to other cities throughout the United...
Corn and inflation are rising at a breakneck speed. Corn is nearing the height it normally is at July 4 – knee-high. Inflation is nearing an eight-year high of 4 percent. Couple that with higher gas prices, meat increases, and one gets a bleak look into the future as the world digs out from...
Corn is screaming in the field as hot weather invades southeastern Minnesota and causes a growth surge following our cool, wet May weather. Corn that was only a few inches a week or so ago is now a foot or more tall. It’s crazy to watch the surge. Who knows, corn may reach “knee high by July 4” if...
Graduation is over, the Twins are clawing their way out of last place and we’ve had enough rain to stave off a draught at least until mid-summer. May was, and usually is, an extremely busy month. Yes, there are graduation ceremonies (as opposed to the 2020 awkward commencement) and some had the...
Hundreds of Dodge County and Byron high school seniors will receive their diploma during graduation ceremonies beginning tomorrow. Most, if not all, of the graduating seniors will march into the stadium, auditorium or gymnasium to the music of Pomp & Circumstance. This has been a part of...
I read with interest the recent column by Sheriff Scott Rose, “Stop demonizing our law enforcement” (DCI- May 6 edition). His politically charged piece chastises Governor Tim Walz, questioning “what has our Minnesota Governor done to support law enforcement?” I ask, what has local law enforcement...
Those of us who lived during the 1970s remember the shameful resignation of Richard M. Nixon from the presidency due to a break-in of the National Democratic headquarters offices at Watergate. It also brought us the Jimmy Carter, peanut farmer from Georgia, to fill the oval office and clean up the...
Finally, I have found someone who disagrees with me and is willing to speak up. A guy from Byron called in a week ago last Friday. He left a message that he would like to see a variety of opinion on the opinion page. Apparently, the opinions and political cartoons are a bit too conservative for him...
  Last week was one of those weeks! Has anyone ever had one of those days when everything begins to pile up like a train wreck? Last week was just that at the Dodge County Independent. At first, a few Byron subscribers did not get their DCI and that was followed up by phones on Friday with...
