Opinion Line Extra (June 12)

NASA just found out Pluto has an atmosphere. That’s a planet to me.

Sorry, Kansas GOP, but I cannot comply with your request to rat out school employees who send political e-mails. I will simply delete any such e-mails and move on. I will not support your gestapo-style persecutions.

Reuters reported that more than half of the people on Kansas’ suspended-voters list were ages 17-21, meaning all but a few can easily prove citizenship. Getting a birth certificate is simple – complete a short form, send a little green to Topeka, done.

I’ve come away from speaking events featuring Kansas Supreme Court justices and the Butler County superintendents forum with a greater understanding of the challenges the justices and superintendents face in helping the people of Kansas. These are smart, dedicated folks trying to make a difference.

Obama has endorsed Hillary Clinton for the presidency. Birds of a feather flock together.

Donald Trump is an embarrassment. He’s like an 8-year-old lashing out when he can’t get his way. As a lifelong Republican, I’m ready to throw in the towel.

While Donald Trump’s statements about the judge handling the Trump University lawsuit are outrageous, they are not racist. Mexican or Hispanic is not a race. It’s an ethnicity.

“Obama endorses Clinton for president” translates to “Do not vote for Clinton for president” if you are a wise voter. We have had enough Obama, and his clone is Clinton. Trump isn’t perfect, but at least he is not another Obama.

Well, it’s clear now. Evangelicals who vote for Trump have declared that their allegiance to being Republican is far more important than their faith or morals. Because nobody who claims to be a Christian can vote for the obscene mouth of Donald Trump.

Nothing will hurt Hillary’s presidential bid more than if she continues to evade tough questions in a press conference.

The fair and balanced national press coverage of the race has started. What has Trump done wrong and what has Hillary done right? They should really register as agents of the Democratic Party. That starts with CNN, or the Clinton News Network. It is truly pathetic.

It’s impossible to have a serious conversation with someone when his appearance consists of a haircut so close it’s almost shaved but a beard like Tom Hanks in “Cast Away.”

Charging $2 extra per ticket on the day of a Wichita Wingnuts game is just wrong. This needs to be corrected for fans who have the last-minute opportunity to attend games.
