Doug Burgum’s unyielding pursuit of the presidency VOCELLA STAFF

NORTH DAKOTA GOVERNOR, DOUG BURGUM

In a recent letter published in the Jamestown Sun, Governor Doug Burgum has reaffirmed his commitment to continue his presidential campaign, presenting a narrative of resilience and determination.

Burgum, portraying himself as an underdog, parallels his political journey with his past business ventures. He recounts overcoming significant odds in his race and references his role in overcoming a $1.7 billion budget shortfall in North Dakota. His story is one of facing challenges head-on, a theme he carries into his presidential bid.

Central to his campaign are issues of national significance – the economy, energy and national security. Burgum is critical of

the current administration’s policies, particularly in the realm of energy. He contends that President Joe Biden’s energy strategies have inadvertently strengthened adversarial international relationships, citing the Ukraine crisis and the U.S.-China dynamic as key examples.

Burgum’s letter is not just a mere campaign update; it’s a critique of the political establishment. He expresses his displeasure with the way political insiders and pundits attempt to influence the election process, advocating instead for a voter-driven approach.

His aim is to let the actual voters in early states like New Hampshire and Iowa have a decisive say in the nominating process.

This stance raises several questions for discussion. Do you agree with Burgum’s perspective on national issues? Does his determination to stay in the race resonate with you?

How do you view his underdog narrative in the context of the current political climate?

We invite our readers to engage in this discussion.

Your opinions are invaluable in understanding the public perception of Burgum’s campaign and the broader political discourse.

As we navigate through these politically charged times, voices from different spectrums enrich our understanding of the democratic process.

Governor Burgum’s unwavering commitment to his campaign, despite the odds, is a reminder of the dynamic nature of American politics. Let’s delve into this conversation and explore the diverse viewpoints that make up our political landscape.

THE WESTBY WATCH By Heidi Whitney Treatment hope for Alzheimer's disease Currently there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, a progressive neurological disease that slowly robs a person of their memory and personality and interferes with relationships.

However, new drugs may offer rays of hope. AD is believed to develop when there are high amounts of a toxic protein in the brain called beta amyloid that produce plaques that affect cognition. According to Reuters, two drugs are the first to offer possible hope of slowing down the disease, which affects millions of people worldwide. Le-

quembi, from biotech firms Eisai and Biogen, as well as an experimental treatment developed by Eli Lily called donanemab, are showing signs of promise. According to the Alzheimer's Society, a United Kingdom-based organization, donanemab slowed how fast memory and thinking worsened by more than 20 percent from trial results. The trial also showed a 40 percent slowdown in decline of everyday activities. Lequembi (drug name lecanemab) has been shown to slow down the progression of AD by 27 percent and slow the decline

in quality of life by up to 56 percent. Lequembi was fully approved for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a treatment for early AD in July 2023.

A decision among UK drug regulators is expected in 2024.

Embracing the gift of today: A reflection on living with purpose

On Thursday, Nov. 9, I received the call my maternal grandma had passed.

At 92 and half years of age, she went quietly while she slept. What was her legacy? She lived every single day the way she wanted to.

She was not ready for the day until she had applied her lipstick, usually red, her hair was always perfectly pin curled, and nails filed to a perfect point.

Life’s brevity serves as a poignant reminder to savor every moment. Whether it’s the warmth of the sun on your face or the laughter of loved ones, these experiences enrich our journey. By consciously engaging in the

present, we foster gratitude, transforming routine into moments of significance.

Intentional living extends beyond mere existence; it’s about crafting a purposeful narrative. Define your values and align your actions accordingly. By setting meaningful goals and pursuing them with vigor, you infuse each day with a sense of direction, turning the ordinary into the ex-

traordinary.

Challenges are inevitable, but they serve as catalysts for growth. Embrace adversity with resilience, recognizing it as an integral part of the human experience. In doing so, you not only navigate life’s uncertainties but also cultivate strength and wisdom that contribute to a purpose-driven existence.

Connect with the

world around you, fostering relationships that enrich your journey. Share kindness, express gratitude and empathize with others’ experiences. In these connections, we find a tapestry of shared stories that elevate the human experience.

As we navigate the complexities of modern life, let’s not forget the power of simplicity. Unplug from the constant hum of technolo-

gy and immerse yourself in the tranquility of the present moment. In this simplicity, you rediscover the beauty of life’s small wonders.

Ultimately, living with intention is a commitment to self-discovery and continual growth. It’s about cultivating a mindful awareness that transforms each day into a canvas waiting to be painted with purpose and meaning. So, let us not take this precious gift of life for granted; instead, let us embark on a journey of intentional living, embracing the richness of each passing moment.

“By consciously engaging in the present, we foster gratitude, transforming routine into moments of significance.”

ND poll suggests voters aren't thrilled with legislative policy MIKE MOEN PRAIRIE NEWS SERVICE

A majority of likely voters in North Dakota oppose controversial policy moves at the state level, including efforts to add more hurdles for constitutional changes through ballot questions.

The sentiments are found in a new statewide poll commissioned by the nonprofit North Dakota News Cooperative. Among respondents, 46% oppose the "pass it twice" measure, a question the Legislature recently approved for the 2024 ballot. It would require future measures initiated by citizens to pass twice to become law. Only 36% of those surveyed support the idea.

And 33% of respondents said they "strongly oppose" the idea, a result analysts said spells trouble for the effort. In other survey responses, 48% of North Dakotans oppose the state's new abortion restric-

"This feeling that they get to decide, it's not predetermined or 'tilted' one way or another," Lunde explained.

He argued it is important for candidates to take note of the results, with Independent voters making up one-third of North Dakota's electorate. The poll also asked respondents whether they support a possible ballot question next year to essentially remove local control related to property taxes. A majority of the voters polled opposed such a change.

Support for this reporting was provided by The Carnegie Corporation of New York.

Bright Stories for a Better World Pioneering Finger-Prick Test for Early Brain Tumor Detection Under Development The groundbreaking work by Nottingham Trent University and the University of Sheffield aims to revolutionize brain tumor detection and monitoring. With over 300,000 global brain cancer diagnoses each year, the risk of recurrence poses a persistent challenge despite advancements in treatments. The proposed lateral flow test, designed for convenient home use through a simple fingerprick, could be a game-changer. Professor Philippe Wilson stressed the urgency of addressing the swift and aggressive return of some tumors after initial treatment, making this technology potentially invaluable.

The lateral flow test, a well-established medical technology, could bring regular, affordable disease monitoring to households globally. Beyond its application in brain cancer, researchers envision extending this innovative approach to other cancer types, potentially transforming millions of lives. The prototype test’s ability to detect specific tumor-related molecules in the blood offers a promising avenue for early indication of recurrence.

Dr. Ola Rominiyi emphasized the patient-centric importance of early detection, and the lateral flow test could provide an efficient weekly monitoring solution. This approach has the potential to revolutionize the current paradigm of follow-up MRI scans every three to six months, enabling the early identification of recurrent tumors at a more treatable stage.

In addition to improving patient outcomes, the test could substantially reduce healthcare system pressures, offering a cost-effective alternative to certain clinic appointments and minimizing the need for frequent MRI scans. The collaborative efforts of these researchers underscore a significant stride towards advancing cancer diagnostics and personalized, accessible healthcare.

NATIONAL & WORLD HEADLINES House Passes Stopgap Spending Bill to Extend Funding into 2024 The House has passed a twopart stopgap spending bill with a vote of 336 to 95 to extend government funding into 2024.

The bill, proposed by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R, LA4), gained Democratic support but faced opposition from the House Freedom Caucus. This continuing resolution doesn’t include spending cuts or major policy changes. It splits government spending into two groups, with the first group funded through January 19 (covering veterans’ benefits, housing, transportation, agriculture, and energy and water programs) and the second group funded through February 2 (including the defense department and other programs).

The legislation now heads to the Senate, with expectations to reach President Joe Biden’s desk by the end of the week.

In another Capitol news development, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R, FL-1) filed a formal ethics complaint against former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R, CA-20) following an accusation by Rep. Tim Burchett (R, TN-2) that McCarthy had elbowed him in the back.

Texas Abortion Laws Challenged Cristina Nuñez, along with six other women, is suing Texas over its abortion laws, arguing that they endangered their lives and delayed necessary care during complicated pregnancies. Nuñez, who has diabetes and end-stage renal disease, faced severe health issues when she unexpectedly

became pregnant. The lawsuit challenges the narrow and vague exception for cases where a patient’s life is in danger. The original case, filed in March with five patients, now has a total of 20 patients, along with two OBGYN doctors. In a dramatic July hearing, a district court judge ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, but the state immediately appealed to the Texas Supreme Court, allowing the abortion bans to remain in effect.

The Texas Attorney General’s office argued that women hadn’t been harmed by the laws, placing responsibility on their doctors.

Nuñez, after facing complications and being denied an abortion in Texas, eventually received the procedure 11 days after going to the emergency room, following intervention by a pro-bono attorney.

The lawsuit includes other women with severe fetal diagnoses who traveled out of state for abortions.

The Texas Supreme Court is set to consider a request for a temporary injunction on Nov. 28, which would broaden the circumstances allowing abortions.
