Florida, Florida, Florida – we weep for you.


We don’t need to respond to this Orlando crisis by depriving or infringing on the constitutional rights of all Americans. That is so contradictory to our liberty we rightfully earned.


I suppose it is true that no American needs to own an AR-15. This is also true of owning a Corvette.


If you think crony capitalism is bad, just wait until one of the cronies is in the White House.


I hope Donald Trump has a lot of lawyers lined up. He is about to take on the Clinton machine.


Hillary Clinton made mistakes and learned from them, as most intelligent people do. Donald Trump won’t admit his mistakes, has zero control over his mouth, and continues to offend. I choose Hillary to be a president I can respect and be proud of.


For those critics who say Donald Trump’s plan to build a wall along our border to keep Mexicans from entering our country won’t work: The Chinese built the Great Wall of China, and you don’t see any Mexicans there.


OK, Roger Marshall: Got it. You’re a doctor. Big deal. No need to tack that title onto your name multiple times in every ad. It just makes you look like you are stuck on yourself.


It seems to me Rep. Tim Huelskamp should be charged with voter fraud. Shouldn’t you be required to register to vote where you live? It does affect local elections. I am sure Kris Kobach will get right on it.


A federal appeals court will allow “tens of thousands ... who have had their voting rights denied” to vote. But they were denied because they didn’t prove they are citizens. Remove “judges” who don’t understand the difference between those who do or don’t prove they are citizens.


I just realized that Kansas citizens can vote multiple times for their favorite players to go to the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. Someone notify Kris Kobach.


If you don’t mow all the way to the curb, who helps you get dressed in the morning?
