Donald Trump says that he doesn’t need Republicans to win the presidential election. Help me practice saying, “Welcome, Madam President.”


Is there any crackpot conspiracy theory that Trump will not enthusiastically embrace?


All that voting Libertarian or for some other small party will do is make it possible for Trump to seize power. We are in crisis enough with his candidacy. Let’s not play Russian roulette with this election.


It isn’t that Trump is better for the country. It’s that Clinton would be so much worse.


If Gov. Sam Brownback is the best the Kochs’ money could buy, they should ask for a refund.


Legislators would not need special and overtime sessions if they would just follow the Kansas Constitution they swore to uphold, instead of drafting pompously picayune constitutional amendments to weaken the judicial branch of state government.


What does enough money look like for schools and teachers? I wonder if it would help if I held my kids in front of the TV cameras and demanded more money from my employer. A never-ending cycle.


Bully if it’s true that “Brownback and his minions” want to destroy public schools and privatize education. Look where state-run education has gotten us. Public schools are leftist social engineering and propaganda mills.


I think we just need to keep the flags at half-staff.


The only group that politicians fear more than the NRA is voters. If we do not make it clear that we want our representatives to place our interests before the gun industry, we have only ourselves to blame.


I don’t understand how anyone can be pro-life and pro-assault weapon.


It’s time to gear up, patriots. Those elected officials who swore to defend the Constitution are once again trying to eliminate one of our most basic rights, self-defense.


The difference between the Cincinnati Zoo gorilla incident and the Walt Disney World alligator incident? A good guy with a gun.


“Nice Work if You Can Get It” is wonderful – great singing and dancing, fantastic comedy and thoroughly entertaining. One of the most fun shows Music Theatre Wichita has ever done. Great work – they got it.
