It’s great to see the folks in Topeka are ready to right the listing ship called Kansas. I just hope they have the spine to override the governor’s inevitable veto to the rollback of his signature tax policy.


Left-wing Eagle contributors relentlessly complained about financial management of Gov. Sam Brownback. They choose to ignore the unprecedented financial situation President Obama left us.


President Trump is draining the swamp. Most of the alligators have been removed and are being replaced with dull-witted sharks.


Vladimir Putin will never “trump” Trump, because he will never know Trump’s next move. This is how a chess player wins.


Our post-truth president’s actions make it increasingly clear that he is a clear and present danger to our republic.

Since we obviously have a “loose cannon” in the White House, would Trump voters like to get back all those guns Obama confiscated?


Common sense requires that anyone who wants to register to vote show proof of citizenship to do so. Anything else is an open door to fraud.

As the saying goes, if you are more fortunate than others, build a longer table not a taller wall.
