Reader worried about Times’ well-being
To the Editor: Holy cow, I’m flipping through the classifieds like a madman, searching for the next missive from “Montana Tom,” when BAM! I hit a full-page piece of propaganda straight from the US Department of Health and Human Services, shoving “Get this season’s vaccines” down our throats.
‘Moral Red Wave Ends Biden Polarization’
To the Editor: Trump unity has embraced renaming Palm Avenue in Dade County FLA as Donald J. Trump Avenue. Now great a second time, America is grateful this year to be safe and prosperous again as today’s recipient voters celebrate Trump’s second mass mandate in eight years.
Hunter Biden’s Pardon
Of course he pardoned his son. Joe Biden had already lost one son, as well as his wife and his daughter. He lost his ability to seek reelection, and then Democrats lost the election, for which he was roundly blamed.
Your tax dollars not at work
Government excels at not getting things done. But politicians promise more things anyway. Kamala Harris declared that our government would “build thousands of miles of fiber-optic cable!” This “Broadband Connectivity Agenda” was supported by “every House Republican on Energy and Commerce,” write Republican representatives.
Lakeland Times: Our View
There’s a dust-up in Madison this week about government workers who continue to work from home, long after the fake pandemic allowed bureaucrats to get away with working from the cozy confines of their bedrooms and dens. Not to mention lots of days in Starbucks.

To the Editor: The Vilas County ATV Alliance wrote a letter to Troy Schalinske, Vilas County Highway Commissioner, asking that all County Highways (CTHs) be opened to ATV traffic – against the wishes of the only remaining towns where the CTHs have not already been opened. The exception in the …
Politics of economic redistribution, RIP
Whatever happened to the Democrats’ reputation as the party favoring the working man? Put another way, what happened to the Democrats as the party promising economic redistribution from the rich to the average man?
Stone age ports
Some union leaders are self-destructive idiots. America’s ports have fallen behind. Not a single one ranks in the top 50 worldwide. A big reason is that dock unions stop innovation.
Put the planet first
We face so many challenges that the task of choosing which ones to emphasize and which can be edited out for the sake of brevity is nearly impossible. So many injustices afflict our fellow human beings that, of those that make the shortlist to be attacked and redressed, determining an …

Lakeland Times: Our View
Well, you know what they say about life: Three things are certain — death, taxes, and a pardon for Hunter Biden. No doubt not a soul in America, not even a low-propensity voter, whatever that is, doubted that, once the election was done, Joe Biden would pardon his son. And …
