    Cramer Still Stickin’ It to Fargo, Cass County Citizens

    Sen.-Elect Kevin Cramer should pay the bills for President Trump’s two campaign visits to Fargo. In North Dakota, we pay our own way. It’s the way it is. And it’s the right thing to do.

    Graphic - Ordained Dudeist Priest

    From getting married to getting buried, I gotchya covered, man!

    I am an introvert, which means more, and less, than you think.

    IV Words Founder Martin C. Fredricks IV

    Martin C. “Red” Fredricks IV here. I’m husband to an amazing woman who is also my best friend, dad to three outstanding kids, climate crisis warrior, environmentalist, rabble-rouser, sayer of things people don't want to hear, proud introvert and big-time reader. A ginger, too - ergo the "Red" - although some of it's going white. Cinnamon-sugar, I call it. Tattooed to boot; seven so far; like 'em or not, I don't much care.
