The Kansas Legislature had better draw a line in the sand soon, or it will be chased around forever by liberal-controlled supreme courts over school funding.


To the Kansas Legislature: You’re fired!


The Kansas Supreme Court is the only thing standing between the minority of Kansans who want properly funded schools and the tyranny of the majority who are too cheap to pay for them.


Our Kansas schools are weeks away from being shut down, and our legislators’ priority is who is using which restroom?


Legislators should call the Supreme Court’s bluff. They are on the right track to force school districts to dig deep and eliminate positions. Don’t think for a minute the state will shut down schools, despite what these fools on the court demand.


It’s asinine to hope legislators will not listen to the Kansas Supreme Court. Please read the case Marbury v. Madison, 1803, and you may begin to grasp why the courts are the final arbiter.


The Eagle editorial board thinks we should make it easier to vote (June 2 Now Consider This). You sure? The country elected Obama twice and Kansas elected Brownback twice.


They are violent. They are hateful. They are lawless. They are anti-education. They are against the rule of law. And yet the progressive left and its supporters in the media and the Democrat Party will not call this horrible movement they have spawned what it is: anarchy.


Donald Trump castigates the media, yet he uses the media to get more attention.


If idiotic liberal, tree-hugging morons had not joined forces to ban DDT, there would be no problem with Zika and no problem with malaria.


What’s next? Blaming Obama for global warming? Nope, first Republicans would have to admit it’s happening.


How many of those who advocate open borders have welcomed a homeless veteran into their homes?


Memo to Sedgwick County commissioners: Stop messing with the zoo agreement and stop trying to muzzle the zoo director. We would not have our world-class zoo that we have today if commissioners had been in charge or the director had not been able to talk freely.


People need to start putting leashes on their kids, and not just at the zoo.
