A variety of topics are discussed in this video: the so-called "science" of double masking, whether an economist can comment on COVID, how a Hopkins surgeon was canceled by the evil company that goes by the name Facebook, among other issues. The guest contributor here is Dr. Vinay Prasad....
This week, the Senate passed legislation with tri-partisan support that would reassert a fair balance of governing power between the legislative branch and the executive branch during future states of emergency. The bill would reign in any future Governor from asserting emergency powers without input from the Legislature. After a year of Walz renewing his emergency powers in 30-day intervals, Senate Republicans want to ensure Minnesotans are never held to one-man-rule again. This bill will require legislative approval to extend emergency...
In one of the most bizarre situations imaginable, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a negative statement on Ivermectin without offering any data to back it up. To date (March 8, 2021) a total of 47 studies around the world have taken place on the use of the anti-parasite drug Ivermectin against COVID-19. Numerous studies have shown recognizable and valuable efficacy (effectiveness) of Ivermectin against COVID-19. It pains me to have to say that "you should not overdose" on...
Featured is a video of Dr. Pamela Popper speaking about how some experts have said the COVID-19 pandemic will end. See below....
This was an amazing video to take in! Ivermectin is low-cost, available on a global scale - and best of all - it has multiple randomized control trials showing favor on its use against COVID-19. It has been on the market since 1981, and it has shown effectiveness in both preventing COVID-19 infections and in clearing COVID-19 infections. Now doctors need to follow suit and study the data for themselves....
Who else out there plants a family garden? I loved this video and felt it was worth sharing. We don't plant a huge amount of potatoes, but it's still worth learning what was shared here from The Homestead Mentor on YouTube....
Vitamin D can influence all three innate immune effectors in the lungs and thus play an important role in how the lung recognizes and responds to pathogens. Activation of the innate immune system drives activation of the long term adaptive immune system. The National Institute of Health has warned that low Vitamin D levels leads to frequent colds and also higher risk from the Influenza virus. Other organizations have released numerous studies on how Vitamin D levels correlate with how a person...
It has not gone without struggle, but the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper is poised to survive the 2020 pandemic. This newspaper finished the year "very strong" with a few expansive newspapers plus almost all color issues from the September 17 issue through the December 31 issue. In fact, just one issue during that span did not have color ink included. We mostly kept it to a 10-page issue after September 17, which was an improvement from the spring and summer when we published a handful of very "lean" eight-page issues. We dipped down to eight...
Dr. John Campbell is a retired nurse teacher and A and E nurse in England. In recent years, he provides explanation to scientific studies in the health care world. In the embedded video, Dr. Campbell explains the science behind a clinical study of vitamin D related to COVID-19. He points out observations that vitamin D-deficient individuals have increased COVID-19 risk and mortality. This study was published on November 12, 2020 in the Postgraduate Medical Journal, a peer-reviewed journal...
An open letter to area parents mid-November 2020 On March 13th Governor Walz said his decision to not close schools was based on science. On March 15th he issued the first of his orders effectively closing schools. He did not receive any "new science" in 48 hours. It was a political decision-he had to be seen doing something in response to the "pandemic". We always quarantined sick and infected people before 2020. The decision to in effect quarantine healthy people, kids and then workers classified as "unessential" by the government, was a...
Zinc! What else is there to say? This year we may all learn more about zinc and Vitamin D than we've known in our entire lives. It's fascinating to learn that the human body lacks the ability to store zinc. We need zinc to help the body create new cells and process food. It also helps us to resist infection. From WebMd: Zinc is a mineral. It is called an "essential trace element" because very small amounts of zinc are necessary for human health. Since the human body does not store excess zinc,...
Today, Monday, November 16, the results of an alarming observational study were released that link the use of antibiotics in children under age two with an increased risk of developing a wide range of health conditions later in their childhood. The Rochester Epidemiology Project (R.E.P.) released a retrospective case study that reviewed 14,500 records in which 70 percent had received antibiotics medication in their first and second years of life. The R.E.P. published their observations in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings. It followed...
With our October 15 issue, the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper had the highest-ever number of subscribers in the 51-year history of the newspaper. The newspaper list mailed out included 1,555 subscribers. Circulation this fall has shot past 1,620 on a rolling, weekly average. Like all small businesses who are enduring the crushing weight of Governor Tim Walz's nanny-state government, we are fighting to get into 2021 and still be viable and independent....
Land Stewardship Project member Chad Crowley farms with his wife, Melissa, near Nodine in southeastern Minnesota. They are in the process of taking over the operation of longtime dairy farmers Art and Jean Thicke. During an LSP farm crisis forum last winter in Preston, MN, Crowley spoke about the impact the loss of independent family farms is having on his community: "I used to be a volunteer firefighter with the Nodine Fire Department, and I've seen a lot of stuff in the small communities. One of the things I've seen is how there aren't volunt...
As the new school year gets underway across the nation, we are seeing a renewed focus on agriculture education and local food. Next to many schools, greenhouses are a common sight. With these come educational curriculum on planting, growing, and harvesting, along with nutrition and health. Greenhouses are not new to rural agriculture education, however, they may not include food production. For instance, schools often devote greenhouse space to flower production for school fundraisers and, while this offers financial incentives, an opportunity...
Ramsey County District Court Judge Thomas Gilligan, a Dayton-Appointee on Tuesday, September 1, ruled that Governor Tim Walz may continue to usurp the legislative process in perpetuity. Free Minnesota, a coalition of citizens and small businesses filed a petition for Quo Warranto lawsuit in May, alleging that the governor was beyond the executive authority granted him by the state constitution and has been exercising purely legislative power by issuing his numerous decrees in response to the Covid-19 virus. The lawsuit was joined by the New...
The young followers of "progressive" Democrats like Biden and Harris don't realize what they stand for. They advocate socialism which means they intend to control the economy and install a regime with themselves at the top. Would these socialist Democrats really give away free health care, housing, college education, and a guaranteed income? For a time-until they ran out of other people's money and the country became bankrupt. Do the Democrat groupies understand this? Who taught them that socialism was good? Socialism has been tried in dozens...
I would just like to warn anyone who is planning on displaying Democratic posters in your yards- there is a good chance that they will be stolen. This is not just happening in our area but also in the Alexandria/Carlos area. To whomever is doing this. In Minnesota, trespassing is a misdemeanor and could result in 90 days in jail and/or $1,000 fine. Be aware, the motion sensor cameras are going up. Arlene Bayer, Belgrade...
In a nutshell... 1.) The Elrosa Saints amateur baseball team (and other Stearns County League town teams) will play games this weekend - Friday through Sunday, June 12 to June 14. Elrosa kicks things off with a home game against Cold Spring at 7 p.m. on Friday night. Here's a link to the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper's sports blog that provides more detail: http://bbejaguars.blogspot.com/2020/06/hallelujah.html. 2.) On-site worshiping will resume at West Lake Johanna and Trinity Lutheran churches of Brooten. Information on that will be in the...
Since no one has ended the governor's unlawful lockdown, if the Dems start finding news articles like what was posted through Reuters at MSN-Dot-Com on June 11, we can expect the lockdown to continue: "U.S. could reach 200,000 coronavirus deaths in September, expert says" And the US death count very well could reach 200k because 70-90% of deaths in areas across the country have been in eldercare facilities and VERY short-sighted, and even ignorant leaders still have not locked down those facilities and required testing for anyone who wants to...
After being mostly dormant since the Bonanza Valley Voice adopted use of a formal website late in 2015, the publisher's blog has been dusted off and is back in business. I've added the ability to easily access this blog from my cell phone, giving me the ability to add breaking news very quickly and easily while out and about. (Although, currently there's not much "out and about" to take in.) Here's the link you can bookmark: https://lifeinbonanzavalley.blogspot.com. One neat feature is the...
It is important at this point that people understand that more transmissions and deaths will occur after reopening as the lockdowns end, and they suppress the fear the national media will generate by reporting on the spread of the virus again. People who gave in to fear and allowed it to direct their thoughts and actions when the virus initially hit us may have understood that social distancing and lockdowns would stop the spread of the virus or even end the virus. Nobody said that. Those mitigation efforts were taken to slow the spread of the...
Click here to read more about the Bonanza Valley Voice publisher's blog. I am "shaking the dust off of it" after it has been relatively dormant since late 2015.

This has been building up for the past three weeks, and this week it is official: this newspaper family has ended our support for Governor Tim Walz and his administration's approach to the COVID virus. In the Friday, May 8 media briefing, Walz and his officials spouted bizarre fear tactics regarding potential graduation ceremonies at high school football stadiums, mainly in rural Minnesota where graduating classes can be quite small. Example given by a journalist today: in schools such as Chokio-Alberta and Hancock, their graduating classes...
Over the past month, Minnesota and our country overall have been focusing on two co-occurring crises: the COVID-19 public health emergency, and an economy on life support. Our state is taking the necessary steps to maintain public health by extending our "stay-at-home" order, and has taken significant steps to help small businesses by providing SBA loans and by expanding unemployment insurance to make sure frontline workers who contract COVID-19 on the job have access to workers' compensation. But a number of our rural colleagues in the farming...
