I am saddened to learn of the passing of my friend, Rick Mason. Rick and I met through the Neighborhood Watch program years ago when I patrolled the Lester Park neighborhood and we quickly became friends. Please join Jodi and me in keeping his wife, Joann, and their entire family in our prayers.

After my visit a couple of weeks ago to the southern border, this action taken by Arizona voters Tuesday isn't surprising. The good news is help is on the way. I look forward to working with the Trump administration to ensure our borders are secure.

This is ACTUALLY supposed to be a day of World Peace. ...... Heather Cox Richardson 23h · November 10, 2024 (Sunday) In 1918, at the end of four years of World War I’s devastation, leaders negotiated for the guns in Europe to fall silent once and for all on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It was not technically the end of the war, which came with the Treaty of Versailles. Leaders signed that treaty on June 28, 1919, five years to the day after the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand set off the conflict. But the armistice declared on November 11 held, and Armistice Day became popularly known as the day “The Great War,” which killed or wounded at least 40 million people, ended. In November 1919, President Woodrow Wilson commemorated Armistice Day, saying that Americans would reflect on the anniversary of the armistice “with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations….” But Wilson was disappointed that the soldiers’ sacrifices had not changed the nation’s approach to international affairs. The Senate, under the leadership of Republican Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts—who had been determined to weaken Wilson as soon as the imperatives of the war had fallen away—refused to permit the United States to join the League of Nations, Wilson’s brainchild: a forum for countries to work out their differences with diplomacy, rather than resorting to bloodshed. On November 10, 1923, just four years after he had established Armistice Day, former President Wilson spoke to the American people over the new medium of radio, giving the nation’s first live, nationwide broadcast. “The anniversary of Armistice Day should stir us to a great exaltation of spirit,” he said, as Americans remembered that it was their example that had “by those early days of that never to be forgotten November, lifted the nations of the world to the lofty levels of vision and achievement upon which the great war for democracy and right was fought and won.” But he lamented “the shameful fact that when victory was won,…chiefly by the indomitable spirit and ungrudging sacrifices of our own incomparable soldiers[,] we turned our backs upon our associates and refused to bear any responsible part in the administration of peace, or the firm and permanent establishment of the results of the war—won at so terrible a cost of life and treasure—and withdrew into a sullen and selfish isolation which is deeply ignoble because manifestly cowardly and dishonorable.” Wilson said that a return to engagement with international affairs was “inevitable”; the U.S. eventually would have to take up its “true part in the affairs of the world.” Congress didn’t want to hear it. In 1926 it passed a resolution noting that since November 11, 1918, “marked the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed,” the anniversary of that date “should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations.” In 1938, Congress made November 11 a legal holiday to be dedicated to world peace.

That morning, that day, I remember the vicious weather because I was a paperboy for the Duluth News Tribune in the Lakeside community of Duluth. I checked the flag every day from a window in my house to determine what I might need to wear so I could deliver my customers' papers. The flag stuck straight out without a ripple for several minutes; hurricane force winds. After my route, I heard on the radio of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Does anyone know where the Love of God goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours? Those lyrics are a haunting thought from childhood. I delivered my papers on time.
I will never forget that moment when we got the news of the Edmund went missing.
My wife birthday, Marine Corps birthday and the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald- I was one month out of active service and I know exactly what the Coast Guard people in Duluth were feeling when the announcement came, “The Edmund Fitzgerald is sinking in eastern Lake Superior, Coast Guard personnel report for duty immediately!” Still gives me chills!

Congratulations to you Mr. Stauber, on the election! Good luck hunting. 🦌
Pete … After your win last Tuesday, you can’t miss!
Bet you know how to load it too. Should show a morning picture though. There's no look in the world like an opening morning deer hunter in the dark

Pete you should ask Trump to remove the moratorium on the buffer zone.
I will always vote for you as long you keep running for re-election. Heck you are the only politician a guy can trust in Minnesota. I affectionately refer to you as Uncle Pete. Keep up the great work and congratulations on another well deserved victory. Praying for you always.
I live in superior now. But I still support you

Can’t wait to have common sense border security back. Kudos to AZ for standing strong against the illegal border crossings.
I live in Tucson now and I voted yes on this ballot measure. Was very happy to see it pass.
Addressing crime in our backyard would appropriate. Any comments on the new information on possible arson at Lutsen Resort? How about our homegrown kidnapper and murderer that actually commited a crime relevant to here? Where is your outrage for his victims ? The good news would have you worrying about the district you got elected to.
