Chicken dance: Dodging Harris and hiding medical records, Donald Trump bobs, weaves and sways
Anyone undecided on whether or not Donald Trump is all there cognitively got quite the lifeline recently at a Trump rally outside Philadelphia when what started as a town hall turned into a new television special: Donald Trump Dancing With Himself.
Play time/jail time
What does it take for a parent to get arrested? Surprisingly little. Scott and Heather Wallace of Hewitt, Texas, encourage their three boys to play outside on their own to build independence.
Beyond weird
It started as a joyful campaign. When President Joe Biden dropped out, Kamala Harris, the president’s pick and soon after the pick of every prominent Democrat, quickly secured the nomination. No one put themselves up against her. It was a relief and a joyful coronation. Her vice presidential nominee was …
The brat energy is gone
When Kamala Harris first jumped into the 2024 race, the joy was palpable. Every major Democrat leapt to celebrate. The legacy media uncorked the champagne. Rank-and-file Democratic voters had a pep in their step
An appeal to Black voters to vote for Trump from a former Democrat
To the Editor: To The Lakeland Times and to my fellow Black Americans, this is an open letter. I have something to say to the Black citizens of Wisconsin and the rest of America: What do you have to lose by voting for President Trump?

Election integrity and Trump
To the Editor: I have read those voters that have professed voting for republicans, particularly for Trump, will undermine or threaten our republic. While I respect any voters making a choice for leadership of the country, the fallback of many of those expressing the threat of a vote for Trump …
A reader’s patriot’s plea
To the Editor: America Loving Patriots (Reference “Song of the Patriot” Johnny Cash) — now more than ever, you need to vote — and you need to “vote right!”
Prosperity or profit
To the Editor: Isn’t it ironic that Trump’s “God Bless the USA” Bible was printed in China for less than $3 per book and sells for a minimum of $59.95? Trump has claimed an affiliation with the Prosperity Gospel.
Sorting through the noise
It’s still challenging for me to tell the difference between the dried corn leaves rattling and the chattering blackbirds flocking onto the cornstalks as I walk along the edge of a neighbor’s field on an October day — this despite my solid Wisconsin dairy farm upbringing in Clark County.
Deceitful promises
Donald Trump and Kamala Harris keep making new promises. Trump fans applauded when he said he’ll eliminate taxes on tips. Then Harris proposed that, too. Her audience applauded. Trump then proposed not taxing overtime. More applause. But narrow tax exemptions are bad policy.

One year later
In the West, we are on vacation from history. That’s because we are living on the interest earned by our parents and grandparents. The European continent, until the war in Ukraine, had never experienced a more peaceful respite from history than since the end of the Cold War; America has …
What matters
Bob Woodward’s new book, “War,” has what we have come to expect as the usual number of blockbuster revelations, proving once again his skill at loosening the lips of those close to power. My favorite is the story that in the midst of drastic shortages at home and abroad, Donald …
Koeppl challenges Schwanebek’s claims against Harris-Walz, compares Trump and Biden on Tribal sovereignty
To the Editor: I noted a letter to the editor in the Oct. 4 edition of The Lakeland Times “Reader asserts Harris-Walz ticket threatens Tribal sovereignty with alleged Marxist ties.” After reading this letter, I did as the author of the letter suggested.
Put country over partisanship: Why a reader believes Republicans should vote for Harris
To the Editor: In 2021, for the first time in almost 250 years, there was not a peaceful transition of the office of President of the United States. Despite the fact the 2020 election has been proven over and over to have been fair and accurate, due to Trump’s continual …
