    So, our 8th District Republican congressman, Rep. Pete Stauber, had to retract a statement he made Aug. 4 at the big Farm Fest gathering in western Minnesota, where state politicians always gather to drum up support.

    So, President Trump is putting his portrait on American passports now, according to media reports. Sorry Donald J., I beat you to it. I have my picture on one passport — mine.
