Holiday means “holy day.” What’s the objection to that?


The only ones who misunderstood Gov. Sam Brownback’s policies were those who voted for him. The ones with common sense and intelligence never did.


Brownback: It was because Kansas voters understood your policies all too well that they voted for legislative candidates who were in opposition. And don’t blame the media for your own actions.


It appears our failing governor has been taking “Trump lessons.” Reality doesn’t seem to bother him a bit.


I think the reluctance of Sedgwick County officials to release details about their half million dollar loss has less to do with an ongoing investigation and more to do with the embarrassment of being “phished.”

The Democrats now claim that Hillary Clinton lost because Russia helped Trump, yet Clinton received about 3 million more votes than Trump. Neither Russia nor the Democrats seem to understand the wisdom of the Electoral College.
