Opinion Line (Aug. 1)

We all know what happens when Tehran says “no” to this administration: President Obama surrenders. He is desperate to cement his legacy. In his desperation to get a deal, he has capitulated. Any self-respecting leader would walk away from it.

If the Iran deal is rejected, Iran could have a working bomb by Christmas. If that happens, whom will the GOP blame? Republicans say they aren’t advocating war, but what else could be done, particularly after Iran tests its first weapon?

Why are all the Republicans opposing the Iran deal? There is money to be made off of war (Halliburton made millions off of Iraq and Afghanistan), but not peace.

If Donald Trump is elected, will his Las Vegas hotel become his White House and be filled with those of his ilk – free-will thinkers lacking in acceptable morals?

Have no fear – the Donald is here. He will feed you propaganda until you are worn-out, then assume control as he set out to do. So don’t feel sorry for this “bankrupt” man. He is only part of the scam.

Hillary Clinton gets a $600 haircut and yet says she is in touch with the people. All righty then. At least Trump tells the truth about his wealth and where he stands.

Was that the Sedgwick County Commission meeting or a nature show on PBS? I couldn’t tell if it was people or animals whining and crying because they are being weaned from the teat.

County Commission Chairman Richard Ranzau owes Spirit AeroSystems and its employees an apology for his actions at the budget hearing. Spirit is the largest property tax payer in the county, and it and its employees donate millions to the nonprofits in our community.

Our county commissioners were elected by the people and for the people. Will they listen to the people?

Really. Let’s stop the begging. Either consolidate now or give all the Wichita taxpayer money to the city of Wichita.

WSU should use its new grant for a parking garage. Also, let’s find a grant to save Lake Afton Observatory.

It would not surprise me if WSU has a cover charge for the students to get into the buildings for class. Then it can pay off the overpriced student dorm it built on prime parking spaces.

Since many employers mandate drug testing before hiring, does that mean marijuana advocates are anti-jobs?

I would like to thank all of the farmers and ranchers of our country for supplying us with an abundant amount of affordable food.
