They say if you’re 20 and aren’t a Democrat, you have no heart. If you’re 40 and not a Republican, you have no brain. I’m 60 and no longer have the stomach for either party.


Conservative Trump or crazy Trump, which side of the Republican Party has the upper hand? Right now it looks like the crazies are in charge.


How refreshing and encouraging to learn about Bonnie Brown, who at 102 is writing a blog for her small town with no technology. Thank you.


I am grieved for the family of Alyssa Runyon and Zaylynn Paz. Parents, teach your children how to be discerning, wise and seek counsel regarding relationships. We cannot depend on the state to protect our children.


Spend $781 billion in Afghanistan and conservatives applaud spending more. Give a poor kid a sandwich and all of a sudden it's the apocalypse.


After careful long-term scientific research, I have discovered that on Kellogg, the right lane is for 60 mph and less, the middle lane is for 65 and the left lane is for 70-plus driving. Please stay in your appropriate lane.


The way Democrats want to waste our tax dollars is like a car dealer wanting to install new tires to fix a failed engine.


Not only should Century II’s future be decided by the voters, but so should the demolition of any public property valued at $100,000 or more because this City Council cannot be trusted to do what’s best for the city or its citizens.


Anyone who thinks gazing at a statue will teach him history might as well gaze at his navel.


Yes, the Civil War was about states’ rights, specifically about the right of the states to allow slavery.


The Democrats should be called the sore loser party. After eight years of Obamaless nothing, things were bound to change. Accept it and enjoy the rise in the stock market and your paycheck.


No. 1, stop mowing over the property line. No. 2, stop blowing your grass clippings into the street. It makes the neighborhood look tacky and it’s illegal.
