Opinion Line Extra (June 4)

Hasn’t the state of Kansas had enough of Sam Brownback’s total incompetence as a governor? Why can’t he be recalled or impeached?

In response to the Kansas Supreme Court’s order to fix inequities in the school funding, Brownback said: “The courts should not be playing politics with our children’s education.” Isn’t that what he and his minions have been doing for years?

Someone commented: “Nothing offends a progressive like progress. Ironic.” That’s only when something is defined as progress by a conservative, which ironically is never.

Normally the Secret Service guards an ex-president to keep someone from taking him and learning our secrets. But with Obama they’ll have to guard him so he doesn’t willingly give away our secrets.

It must have been a proud day for Donald Trump and his followers when he received the full endorsement of a tyrannical communist like Kim Jong Un.

So it’s bad for Obama to reach out to other nations but OK for Trump to reach out to Kim Jong Un, for heaven’s sake? I could see Reagan’s Alzheimer’s symptoms early on. Now anyone can see Trump’s egomania. Sometimes you are sorry for what you wish for once you get it.

Obama abuses every aspect of the powers of his office by circumventing the laws in place and with his executive orders. He gets a free pass from the so-called rule-of-law scholars. Now, Trump has voiced some issues he plans to address, and they are coming unglued.

The world would not be a better place had Al Gore been president rather than George W. Bush. Gore is as big a liar as Bill and Hillary Clinton combined. And Bush did not “steal” the election. Read the details: He won fair and square. Get over it already.

What do you do with a 15-foot alligator on the golf course? Let him play through.

I suggest police officers walk a block on their beat for half an hour a day, then go on to the next street the next day. Introduce themselves, get to know the neighborhood. A show of presence is important. Maybe just driving by isn’t working anymore.

The question becomes clear about the same time the answer does.

I would like to thank the prescription medicine industry for assuring me that the mute button on my TV remote is always in perfect working order.

Those darn Chickenhawks in Lawrence are opening their basketball season against lndiana and Duke but are too chicken to play the Shockers.
