Opinion Line Extra (Sept. 2)

Who is pocketing all the profits off the sale of gasoline? Simple math would tell you it should be selling for at least half of what it is.

If Shonda Banda’s son had said in his classroom that his mom smokes three packs of cigarettes per day and he is subjected to secondhand smoke, nothing would have been done – no charges filed, no child removed from a home. Unbelievable, but this is Kansas.

I have suspected from the moment the 2014 voting results were announced that the votes needed to be looked at. To Kris Kobach and Tabitha Lehman: Give the tapes to mathematician Beth Clarkson unless you have something to hide.

The governor cares more for wealthy businessmen who already have successful careers than our kids who are trying to build successful lives for themselves. Then he accuses the school districts of not cutting their costs more. Parents should be outraged by how their kids are being treated by this state.

So let’s penalize the districts that have active unions. Did Americans for Prosperity have input in the additional underfunding of the largest school district in the five-state region? My bet is “yes.”

The Donald couldn’t think of a single verse from his favorite book, the Bible. Here’s some help: Yea, though I walk through the valley of debt, I shall fear no jail, as my lawyers and bankruptcy law shall protect me.

The real reason that the Democrat-owned and -controlled “news” machine is trashing Donald Trump is because the only offerings the left has are a lying, incompetent has-been; a world-renowned buffoon; and an aging, loony socialist.

Sorry, Jorge Ramos, but you do not have the right to interrupt a press conference because you wanted to ask your question first and make your political statement. Trump was gracious enough to let you back in the conference and answer your questions when it was your turn.

I love the sound of crickets in the evening, and whenever Colin Powell mentions that he used a personal private e-mail server when he was secretary of state.

If Ted Nugent is on your side, you’re on the wrong side.

Chanute had one complaint and crumbled. I’ll bet out of 100 people asked in Chanute, 99 would want the picture of Jesus to stay. The anti-Christ people are only about 1 percent. If we don’t all stand up for our religion now, there may come a day when we won’t be able to.

Why can’t people keep their trash in their car and toss it at home in their trash? When I get my paper, most mornings I have to clean up the street as well. Have a little pride in yourself and our city. Wishful thinking, I guess.
