The Postman No Longer Delivers In Denmark
By Bob Small
PostNord, Denmark’s 400-year-old national postal authority, delivered its final letter, on Dec. 30.
PostNord reported an operating deficit of 428 million Krone ($67,153,200 in US dollars).
The amount of letters has decreaseds by 90 percent since 2000. Since Danish Law mandates that citizens must be able to send and receive letters, a company called DAO is available, though one has to use their stamps.
Germany’s Deutsche Post scrapped its 60-year-old next-day air mail delivery service last year and is currently laying off thousands of workers. Poland’s Poczta Polska is similarly slashing thousands of jobs in a bid to reduce losses.
The decrease in physical letters can be traced to the computer. According to PostNord, physical letters have declined from almost 1.5 billion (2000) to only 110 million (2024). Additionally, “Since 2014, all public sector communiques, including those from banks, insurance companies, and pension companies, must by law be sent digitally. “
PostNord has been a joint operation since 2009, when the Danish and Swedish services merged.
It should be noted that around 1,500 jobs are estimated to be lost. Meanwhile, DAO expects growth, from young adults 18 to 34, who are rediscovering physical missives.
Meanwhile in Great Britain, the Royal Mail is ending Saturday deliveries of second-class mail and daily deliveries to be reduced to either two or three times a week. Royal Mail, by the way, is now owned by Czech Billionaire Daniel Kretinsky. The parcel services will continue, for now, but they’re now on a time clock.
“The final letter sent by PostNord is now on display at Denmark’s Enigma Museum, commemorating the historic shift in how the nation communicates. “
In the US, mail has dropped 80 percent since 1997.

Answer to yesterday’s William Lawrence Sr Cryptowit puzzle: The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.

Harmeet Dhillon Is Unsung Heroine
By Joe Guzzardi
One of the most determined and dedicated fraud fighters is the under-appreciated, unsung Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon, a constitutional law expert and free speech advocate. Dhillon succeeds the controversial Kristen Clarke. The greatest controversy that swirled around Clarke focused on her attempt to cover up her arrest record during her Senate confirmation process that led to charges that she lied to Congress, a federal offense.
Dhillon has turned her office’s attention to ending voter fraud, a nationwide hoax that has tipped the scales in many municipal, state and federal elections. In December, just before Christmas, Fulton County, Georgia, admitted that approximately 315,000 early votes from the 2020 election were illegally certified but were nonetheless included in the election’s final tabulation that put the state in Democratic candidate Joe Biden’s camp. In the nation’s closest statewide presidential race, Biden narrowly won Georgia by a 49.47% plurality over Trump’s 49.24% vote share: a margin of 0.23% and 11,779 votes.
In Michigan, state lawmakers raised alarms over what they describe as large-scale voter registration irregularities including tens of thousands of new registrations flagged with phony Social Security numbers and a voter roll that reportedly exceeds the state’s adult population by roughly half a million names. In 2024, roughly 100,000 people registered to vote in Michigan last year, and about 36,000 applicants or 36% submitted invalid four-digit Social Security number matches yet were still allowed to complete registration and obviously to vote.
Continuing her mission to restore election integrity, Dhillon recently confirmed that over 260,000 dead people and thousands of noncitizens are registered to vote in U.S. elections. After a review of thirty states that worked voluntarily with the DOJ to clean their voter rolls, the agency invalidated the fraudulent registrations before the 2026 midterm elections.
In a December social media post, Dhillon updated the nation on her progress with the states to help them comply with the Help America vote act voter rolls with us so that we can help them comply with the Help America Vote Act, which requires states to maintain clean voter rolls. While four states complied voluntarily, in September Dhillon’s civil right division filed federal lawsuits against six states for failure to produce their statewide voter registration lists upon request: — California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania. California got sued twice. Two months later, DOJ filed federal lawsuits against six additional states — Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.
California, predictably, is the most egregious offender. In May 2020, during his statewide COVIS shutdown, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-64-20 2020 ordering every voter in the November General Election to Vote-By-Mail. And then, the following year, he made his EO permanent, claiming moral authority: “states across our country continue to enact undemocratic voter suppression laws,” Newsom said.
Newsom also signed Assembly Bill 37 sponsored by Assemblyman Marc Berman (D-Menlo Park), permanently requiring a vote-by-mail ballot be mailed to every active registered voter in the state. AB 37 also gave California 30 days to prepare a certified statement of the results of the election—plenty of time to cook the books.
Today’s voting system is set up to facilitate if not encourage cheating. Returning to normal, honest elections is a multi-step process. End absentee voting. At least 36 states provide “no-excuse” absentee ballots to anyone who requests one. Follow the examples that Belgium, Mexico, Panama, Sweden, Italy, France, Jamica, the Dominican Republic set years ago by returning to paper ballots cast only on one election day, with voter ID and proof of citizenship, established during the voter registration process. Mail-in voting would be permissible only to citizens temporarily living abroad.
Only people determined to cheat are against rigid steps to protect voter integrity.

Parents Protest Delco Domestic Relations Failures — Paarent rallied outside the Delaware County (Pa) Courthouse, yesterday, Jan. 5.
They were addressing the consistent failures of Delco’s Domestic Relations Department to stop unnecessary misery and out-and-out tragedies such as the Dec. 26 incident in Upper Darby.
A man shot the mother of his children then himself in front of their three children during a custody exchange.
Delco’s enforcement agencies routinely ignore court orders in matters involving custody interference and parental alienation.
The demonstrations will be a regular occurrence until the problems are fixed we are told.
A video of yesterday’s rally can be found here.

Answer to yesterday’s William Lawrence Sr Cryptowit puzzle: If the Magi had had the same indifference which the majority of Christians have for heavenly things, they would have perhaps looked upon the star only as a curiosity, and they would have met, perchance, to seek for natural causes to account for its appearance. They would not have hastened to set out on so long a journey and in delaying to obey the secret order which impelled them onwards, they would have lost the greatest of blessings.

Answer to yesterday’s puzzle: Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you: because I go to prepare a place for you. And if I shall go, and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will take you to myself; that where I am, you also may be.
