Support
You know what is a "shame"? This town couldn't support a grocery store.
The hypocrisy is alive & strong in Minonk.

Justin Faulk's Comments to your Editorial
Dave
Justin nailed it with his response to your biased editorial! Just because you hate Trump doesn't make him a bad President. He has done more for this country in (4) years than any President in recent history! It is truly the Democrats that are out to destroy this country. There left wing policies will destroy this country from within. High taxes, open borders, health care for illegal's, abortion on demand and funded by our federal dollars, the "Green New Deal", and coddling to China just to name few. If Biden truly becomes President and the Democrats when the senate this country will become a communist socialist country!! This scenario means we are all screwed!!

Help with "Wont Get my Business" question
I just saw Lisa's post about looking for minority owned businesses, thought I would share a few just here in Minonk. We are very fortunate to have Joe's Pizza, Woody's, Motel 6 and Road Ranger. To my knowledge, all are minority owned and just a few.
Additionally, I am proud of the women who have taken the risk to open business here, as I know it is not an easy task. Nearly half of our downtown businesses are owned by women, and if you need to see a dentist/doctor, those too are women.
Operating a business in any community comes with risk and a ton of hard work. I am always excited to see folks take that chance and proud of our diverse business community. I will try to support you all, regardless of your race, sex, or for that matter political affiliation.
Hope everyone has a safe and Merry Christmas.
God bless,
Russell Ruestman

Won't get our money
Mike & I will not help support any business, that supports trump.
I wished more businesses would come out in the open, to show their support for this grifter. Mike & I have decided, we'll just ask if we're not sure. We won't support those who don't support/respect all people.
I asked Mike last night if he could name 1 person of color, in Woodford County, that holds any professional job, as in Dr., nurse, lawyer, business owner, etc. We could not come up with any. If we are wrong, please reply with who & how they are employed. What are you all afraid of?
I saw a lot of GOD signs in the yards that had trump signs.
GOD loves us all, in every color.

Fieldcrest Update 12-17-2020
Dear Knight Nation,
Lesson learned in the first half of 20-21.
Our students and staff are the BEST around! When the world of education was turned upside, students and staff stepped up and came to school ready to learn and teach. We do our best work together and are grateful for the opportunity to work with Fieldcrest students and Knight Nation.
To our parents, families, and community members- thank you! Your support of our decision making process is appreciated. COVID times have been challenging and we thank you for trusting us with your children.
As our students return to school on January 5th, I wanted to share a couple items with you.
1. New, shortened quarantine guidelines. StudentShortenedCovidQuarantine.pdf
2. A COVID reporting form (winter break only) to be used for a student in close contact with a positive case and/or a student with symptoms. https://docs.google.com/formslink
3. The 1pm dismissal time remains in effect and will be evaluated prior to each monthly board meeting.
I hope that each of you remains healthy and happy in this holiday season,
Kari Rockwell
Response to America to Trump - Your Fired
Dave,
Your editorial and opinion is simply false. President Trump is a patriot that puts the American people first. He has fought to defend the constitution and protect the rights of the people. Under his administration we had record low unemployment across the board including lowest minority unemployment in the history of this country. We had a booming economy up until we were hit with covid. He is the first president in over 30 years to stand up against communist China and fought against their agenda. He was not one of the political elites and was hated for it. He protected our sovereign nation by building a boarder wall to reduce the drug and sex trafficking through our southern border. He has appointed outstanding constitutionalists to the U.S. Supreme court. This man had money and fame before coming to the Presidency.
On the other hand it is your party, the Democrat party that threatens our great constitutional republic. It is the Democrats that threaten the American dream with out of control regulations, and taxation that stifle the ability for individuals to succeed. It is your party that aligns itself with the dictators and policies of their socialist regimes like Cuba and Venezuela. It is your party that believes it is ok to steal from those that have succeeded to give to those that haven't. This socialist format has never worked and never will. All it does is bringing everyone down besides the few powerful political elites.
Your President Elect Biden has created his entire wealth since being on the tax dollars of the American people since 1973. Levels of wealth that is impossible to obtain from his salary as a U.S. Senator. He along with the majority of your party is corrupt and the evidence will continue to surface with his ties to communist China. Believe me if President Trump was corrupt they would have found it with the whole Russian collusion hokes. Never in history has a U.S. President ever been attacked by the opposite party the way they have attacked him. You must be blind and deaf to say we should rely on professional news media for our source of information. It is extremely apparent that the news media's agenda aligns with the Democrat party. They have done everything in their power to help the Democrats gain and maintain power. They have blocked free speech of opposing opinions.
Finally I'm not sure how you can say "the survival of our country demands loyalty to or constitution". Our founders warned us about the things your party is doing to erode our freedoms and defy the constitution you speak of. The policies and direction of the Democratic Party is the destruction of freedom of this great nation. The Republican Party (although not perfect by any means) best represents the founding of our country, with limited government, individualism, capitalism. It is your party that wants more control over the individual, business, healthcare, etc. all in an effort to gain more power. It is unbelievable the length that the Democrats have gone to regain power and sad people like you don't see it.
I no longer wish to contribute to an outlet for you to spread your propaganda. Please remove my company advertisement from this page.
Thanks,
Justin W. Faulk
