Opinion Line Extra (Aug. 17)

Isn’t Al Gore too busy with that Internet and global warming thing to run for president?

If Obama dyed his hair the way Reagan did and then lied to the press about it being “natural” the way Reagan did, the Republicans in Congress would move for articles of impeachment.

People who comment about Donald Trump should look at the Democrat Hillary Clinton’s actions and record.

Clinton is either so arrogant she thinks she is above the law or so dumb she doesn’t know she’s dumb. Either way she is not qualified to be president.

An overwhelming number of Democrats favor a presidential candidate who is dishonest, deceitful and probably committed several felonies.

How fitting that Trump is the Republican front-runner. He’s a snide, mean-spirited, racist bigot and a liar. He is all about what the GOP is about. Bernie Sanders is all about everyone having a chance at an education, employment – basically a life where you can contribute and help yourself.

How long will it take until the GOP figures out that Trump’s high polling numbers are a warning sign that something is seriously wrong in its camp? The RINOs are probably burning the midnight oil trying to outfox Trump. Oops – I used Fox and Trump in the same sentence.

I’m not necessarily a Trump fan, but I’ll give him this: He knows how run things and make decisions and, perhaps more important, he’s not part of the political establishment.

I get more disgusted each day with the media including TV, newspapers and radio. We continue to have our service members killed in Afghanistan and never hear anything about them. I’m tired of hearing about Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Tom Brady, etc.

With all these shootings lately, where is Al Sharpton? Oh, I know – he’s back in Washington, D.C., figuring out how to pay his back taxes.

Black lives matter. White lives matter. Blah, blah, blah.

Could anyone tell me exactly what that bunch of protesters in Ferguson, Mo., think they will gain? Too bad they can’t arrest all of them.

Not all rental cars have spare tires. The Hyundai Elantra we rented had a flat tire 100 miles from nowhere, and there was no spare. The hours of delay and an unknowledgeable roadside assistant on the phone caused high stress. The exchange Chevy Cruze had a spare.

Sedgwick County Commission Chairman Richard Ranzau said commissioners support keeping Lake Afton Public Observatory, which is a building owned by Sedgwick County. It does not meet my definition of a core county service.

Every time the county commissioners want to fund their pet projects, they steal it from roads. Stop it.
