Is it just me or should the logo for the Kansas State Fair be “Corn Blast” rather than “Blast Call”? It seems more fitting with this year’s image.


Can anyone tell me why a beautiful four-lane highway from Derby to Rose Hill has a 45 mph speed limit?


According to ForeignAssistance.gov, the planned 2017 U.S. assistance to Mexico is $134 million. This could be the first installment on the “Great Wall.”


More illegal aliens are leaving the United States than are coming in from Mexico. What a nutty and stupid idea it is to build a monstrous wall along the southern border to fence the illegals in and make sure they stick around.
