Jim Shaw On The Record

Some excellent and alarming candidates running for Fargo School Board, and Tony Gehrig should drop out of the race for Fargo City Commission

May 14, 2026: While the foolish war in Iran continues to generate the headlines, the brutal war in Ukraine seems to sadly have become forgotten. It shouldn’t be. It’s the largest and deadliest war in Europe since World War II.

It has been more than four agonizing years since Russia viciously invaded Ukraine. It had no right to do so. Ukraine is a sovereign, independent, democratic and peaceful nation. Vladimir Putin, Russia’s murderous dictator, acts like Ukraine belongs to Russia.
