Riverfest’s water bottle policy is benefiting corporate greed. My vest with every button since the mid-’70s on it will have no new additions if this remains the policy.


How about charging a fair price for those 25-cent bottles of water inside Riverfest, say $1?


Wichita needs to work to bring in good jobs, not the low-pay, poor-benefit, high-turnover, little-opportunity-for-advancement positions that call centers offer.


The state is drowning in debt, and the best our legislators can do is dictate font size and paper color for abortion information. I’m surprised they don’t require the doctors to note their religious affiliation.


Before the 2016 election, I thought the leader of the free world would be a woman, and I was right. She just happens to be in Germany.


The more I hear about Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, the less I respect her, or think Germany is in good hands.


Donald Trump’s foreign trip was a total disaster. He further alienated our allies and played right into Vladmir Putin’s hands. He is turning the whole world against us. It will take years of a normal president to restore our reputation around the world.


The liberal “attack media” seems to have one controlling theme: “Trump has done something terrible; we just don’t know what it is yet.”


Kathy Griffin is to ISIS what Jane Fonda was to the Viet Cong.


I believe Sen. Chuck Schumer less than I believe that Tom Selleck inquired about a reverse mortgage.


I guess I’m doing something wrong. I have always paid my own taxes, bills, insurance, veterinary bills, etc. Nowadays, people just set up a GoFundMe account and everyone else pays their bills for them.


Leonard Pitts showed his true colors when on Memorial Day he bashed on President Trump instead of respecting the military and those who lost their lives defending his freedoms.


What a beautiful article about the Fort Riley Post Cemetery. And even more so, what a blessing that a company and crew honor and respect our military and their families the way they are. Thank you.
