Ted Cruz fired back at Donald Trump about criticizing his wife. You don’t mess with Texas. You really don’t mess with a Texan’s wife.


Note to Donald Trump: If you think we should judge people by the physical attractiveness of their spouses or themselves, you better stay away from mirrors. Whatever beauty your third wife has is more than canceled out by your physical and spiritual ugliness.


Sure, Trump doesn’t need their money. But it’s not like he’s not motivated by it. That’s why he’s running as a Republican.


To the Koch brothers: You’ve spent hundreds of millions buying elections and political influence over time, in the process destroying the Republican Party and resulting in the phenomenon of Donald Trump. Let us know how that has worked for you.


This government hung David Petraeus out to dry and wants Edward Snowden badly, but Hillary Clinton is running free. That is an insult to the families of the U.S. citizens murdered in Libya and to every law-abiding true U.S. citizen.


Whatever bad Clinton did or did not do is not nearly as bad as what the Republicans and Trump are doing to this country. The Republican Party is a group of the most dysfunctional people in this country.


Kris Kobach isn’t trying to stop legal voters from voting.


Republicans must not be suppressing voters, since all primary counts are up big.


It is often said that it takes a big man to admit he has made a mistake. Gov. Sam Brownback is obviously not a big man.


At the 11th hour, our Republican state legislators are speaking out against Brownback. All they want is to get re-elected so they can go back to Topeka and continue to devastate Kansas. Think about that when you go to the polls.


Why is it not considered to be an abortion when a fertility clinic disposes of unused fertilized eggs?


Parents should be held financially responsible for vandalism damages caused by their minor children. Why should innocent victims have to pick up the pieces of their lives because of someone else’s poor parenting?


Great Celebrity Cipher cryptogram the other day, quoting J.K. Simmons: “If you’re lucky enough to have a parent or two alive, call them. Don’t text, don’t e-mail. Call them!” Are you listening, my darling daughter?
