Rick and I attended our first state convention this year, and what an experience it was. As alternates, we knew it was unlikely we would be called on to vote, but we did a lot of behind-the-scenes research on all the candidates, attended in-person events so we could meet the Secretary of State and Attorney General candidates, and listened in on tele-town halls. We read every email and did our own research on the claims made in those emails. We felt prepared, ready, and able t

On February 4, 2026, our own Brenda Beadenkopf was honored to emcee the Black History Breakfast from 7:30–9:30 AM, hosted and sponsored by the Cass County Council on Aging in Cassopolis.

Fellow soldiers in the fight for liberty, Greetings in this 250 th year of freedom in America! As Chairman of the Cass County Republican Party (CCRP), I’d like to take this opportunity to speak plainly on a few matters going into 2026. In a world of increasing division and 24-hour media spin, there seem to be endless causes for concern in a society fixated on fear of the future. And at the risk of sounding alarmist, I ask sincerely, what is at stake in the fight we are now f

In this digital world, the demand for our attention is at a premium. Between “Breaking News” flashing across our screens, salacious stories, and divisive language dominating social and mainstream media, it’s easy to get sucked into the never-ending news cycle. One click leads to another, and soon the adrenalin kicks in. This unrest quickly spills over into daily life, diverting our attention from shared family, neighborhood, and community ideals. Suddenly, we find ourselves d

Today is Monday, and I’m looking forward to another rally in Niles from 11:30-12:30. Standing on the sidewalk by the street, it is so much fun to cheer and wave at those going by. We have signs saying, “I voted for budget cuts.” “Stop Waste, Fraud and Abuse.” “Honk If You Love Maga.” And the honking, thumbs up, and cheering for President Trump and his team in response are as encouraging to us as we are uplifting to the passers-by. They are so glad to see happy, friendly peopl

I also saw how compassionate he was. I was impressed at how he would put down his microphone to listen
