Finally, a beautification project for downtown. The flower pots sound like a marvelous start to making our plain city attractive.


Gov. Sam Brownback is surging now. He’s jumped all the way up to No. 49 in popularity.


Does Ron Estes take no message from the fact more than 45 percent of voters don’t want more Brownback-Trumpism? We’re his constituents, too.


For a couple of hours Tuesday night, the 4th District had joined the resistance and I wasn’t in Kansas anymore. Unfortunately, it was only a dream.


Who gave President Trump the right to call my cell phone? Do I have the ability to call his? I feel violated.


It is our money, not yours to spend as you discombobulated idiots see fit.

Fight the unfriendly skies of United.
