Why do we want to admit Syrian refugees to our country? We can’t even help our own veterans and other homeless people.
The only thing ISIS is accomplishing is to unite the world. Nothing is so certain to bring disparate nations together as a common enemy.
Gov. Sam Brownback said no help for refugees, which is no surprise since the state is broke and helping people requires effort and compassion – qualities he lacks. My surprise is that he did not try to send poor Kansans to Syria, along with judges, teachers, etc.
We always hear that prices will go up when we raise the minimum wage. But why don’t we hear that when corporations raise millionaire executive salaries?
Nothing against bull riders or former meth addicts, but can’t Sedgwick County Commissioner Jim Howell find a more reputable source for input on public health policy issues? Apparently not.
A Civil War Reconciliation Memorial in Veterans Memorial Park is fine so long as it mentions that the South fought to preserve a system in which men, women and children were bought and sold and bred like cattle.
Most public restrooms have those lady or gentleman icons to aid those who are confused on which restroom to use. If not, use the one that matches your body parts, not your state of mind. A man dressed as a woman should not be roaming free inside a ladies’ restroom.
If we require everyone to use the public restrooms according to their gender at birth, the anti-transsexual groups will see trans women in the male restrooms and trans men in the female restrooms. I guess they are OK with someone who looks exactly like a man using the female restroom.
It is time for Bob Dole to retire. First he lost the Republican presidency and then backed the next two losers. Now he is going for a grand slam by backing another moderate, Jeb Bush.
The president rightly rejected the Keystone XL pipeline. It is not in the nation’s interests. It would transport dirty crude oil and produce a few short-term jobs. We won’t even get the oil. Canada will sell it to other countries.
Obama nixed the Keystone XL pipeline solely to protect his “friend” Warren Buffett’s railroad profits.
