We are doomed if we allow the tyranny of the majority to scapegoat and persecute immigrants and minorities in this country. We are reliving the darkest moments in our history – again.


No more trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership. At least since Bill Clinton and NAFTA, these trade agreements have only benefited business, to the detriment of the American worker.


Where is the feminist outrage over progressive Democrats supporting nations that condone atrocities against women?


After Hillary Clinton is convicted and sent to prison, I wonder if President Ted Cruz will issue a pardon.


Rep. Mike Pompeo should be charged with sedition for encouraging military leaders to disobey orders. I guess he learned nothing at West Point.


Pompeo’s enthusiasm for convicting Hillary Clinton of using a private e-mail server betrays once again the Republican members’ motives on the “Benghazi” committee. They have never cared about the deaths of four Americans. Where’s the House committee to study the causes behind 30,000 American deaths by gunfire every year?


When will Pompeo turn his focus to the e-mail problems of the Brownback administration?


It looks like both Gov. Sam Brownback and President Obama failed miserably in their respective “state of” speeches.


If the state budget can’t afford more Kansas Highway Patrol officers, then we don’t need more. Don’t take money from our budget at my house by increasing the cost of a vehicle title. All these fees are killing Kansas.


Cutting taxes has become both the ends and the means.


KPTS, Channel 8, could not afford to televise Brownback’s State of the State speech this year. As a “thank you” for not broadcasting the governor’s ridiculous statements taking credit for the sun still shining in Kansas, I sent KPTS a $200 contribution. Please support worthwhile public television programming.

I have concluded that the IQ of a driver is directly proportional to the distance at which he or she follows the vehicle ahead.
