May I make a suggestion to all Obama critics, including presidential candidates? Save your breath and time. Obama isn’t running for re-election.


I guess if we get stuck with Hillary, we can at least know we have the Clinton who wears pants in the family this time.


I take solace in knowing that if we can survive eight years of George W. Bush, we can survive anyone either party presents for president.


If big money can buy elections, as the liberals would have you believe, then why did Jeb Bush drop out? Maybe the Republicans are not as dumb.


Sen. Jerry Moran wants to go to Guantanamo Bay. He’s worried about people who want to do us harm. I suggest he go into the Senate chamber and look at his GOP leaders.


Enough is enough. It’s time for global warmers to show the rest of us how it’s done. Park your cars and ride mass transit, heat your homes to 68 degrees, cool to 76 degrees and stop eating meat.


Arguing over gun laws or mental health is useless when our entire species is 10 years or so away from extinction. Please, people, get rid of your SUVs, quit eating meat and turn down your thermostats before you doom us all.


I don’t mind the feds dipping into my wallet to help those who cannot help themselves. It annoys me to no end to have my wallet plundered to give to those who will not help themselves.


If I were Charles Koch, I would do Wichita critics a favor. I would bulldoze Koch Arena, and take my millions of charity dollars and thousands of high-paying jobs and move to a city where these things are appreciated.


Did it ever occur to anyone else that if Gov. Sam Brownback wore an eye patch, he would look exactly like the Governor from “The Walking Dead”?


In that great theater named Topeka in the land of Oz, some of our elected munchkins are starting to realize that there really might not be a wizard behind the curtain.


The caliber of our leaders in Topeka was exposed when they came up with the ridiculous idea that our colleges have gone long enough without everyone being to free to bring their guns along with their books to class. Another sad day in Kansas when it takes effect next year.


K-State’s clear bag policy for sporting events: another voodoo, feel-good “safety measure” akin to TSA and background checks.


I hear opportunity knocking. If the Kansas Aviation Museum goes bankrupt, then let’s move the library into this facility. Since the city already loaned the museum money to get it ADA-compliant, it should be a swift and easy move.


Wichita philanthropy logic: Raises money to restore one vintage plane. Underfunds Kansas Aviation Museum to near bankruptcy. Way to go, “Air Capital.”


My daily prayer is this: Please get a life, and get out of mine.
