The top chef is Gordon Ramsay. Now the top chief is Gordon Ramsay.


Since Gordon Ramsay has been appointed police chief, can we expect better food at the jailhouse?


Rep. Mike Pompeo doesn’t want to spy on Americans. He wants to stop terrorists from killing Americans. That is something we can all support.


Last month Pompeo sent a letter signed by 15 Republicans urging all branches of the armed forces “to seek appropriate legal advice” before following orders from the president if he closes Guantanamo Bay by executive order. Apparently sedition is not a crime depending on who commits it.


The Republican leaders are seemingly afraid; their solutions to national security amount to demagoguery. It is embarrassing to watch this hopeless behavior.


The latest Democratic debate reminded me of a peewee soccer match in which everyone is declared a winner.


I turned on the Democrat presidential “debate.” I thought it was another “SNL” comedy sketch.


Ironically, it’s not OK for Bernie Sanders to get some intel from his opponent’s database, but it’s OK for Hillary Clinton to share national “top-secret” intel on her personal e-mail server.


Why are the Republicans wasting time holding debates? The country’s demographics have shifted impossibly against them, the Obama economy is booming, the climate change apocalypse has been averted, and everyone I know is “Ready for Hillary.”


I vote Hillary for the big house, not the White House.


Why would anyone think you couldn’t be politically progressive and a Christian? I wish everyone would read the words of Jesus this Christmas season.

Human hair does not come in freak purple, harlot red, clown blue, etc. If your hair is not the color God made it – or at least another natural color – then you must be a freak, a harlot or a clown.


Gals, if you are older than 20 or weigh more than 90 pounds, you look terrible in leggings, yoga pants and skinny jeans. And, guys, you just look stupid in skinny jeans. Get a mirror, Wichita.
