The Benghazi witch hunt wasted $7 million and countless hours, and found absolutely nothing. What a farce.


The release of the Benghazi report only confirms what most of us already knew. The Obama administration was completely inactive while people died, because it was too busy covering its backside.


Does anyone see Rep. Mike Pompeo’s comments on Benghazi as other than political campaigning?


Given the means of transport the Istanbul bombers used to get to the airport, I expect President Obama to hold a press conference any day calling for Turkey to abolish taxicabs.


I wonder if Turkey has an NRA-like group. If so, then the gun-control freaks, liberal politicians and other simpletons have someone to blame for the airport massacre rather than facing the truth.


We all need to be buck naked. Terrorists won’t be able to hide their suicide vests and guns, and won’t be able to hide behind masks. They are bullies and fraidy-cats.


Brexit was a vote to reject unfettered socialism by unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats. Uncontrolled immigration was also rejected. Sound familiar?


Don’t underestimate the power of a mass of fearful, frustrated and ignorant voters.


Article 1 of the Constitution provides the right to file bankruptcy and actually predates the Second Amendment and the rest of the Bill of Rights. Good to know Trump embraces his constitutional right to file bankruptcy. He is truly the master of debt.


Kansans, that stuff trickling down on you isn’t money.


The only joke bigger than Wichita’s fireworks ordinance is how well it is enforced.


I guess I missed the Scriptures that say: Go out and sell fireworks. Money raised in the church is supposed to come from followers of Jesus in response to his blessings, not from nonbelievers.


Independence Day is upon us. Thank God for freedom (what we have left, no thanks to Democrats). I love fireworks and hope my neighbors shoot them off incessantly for the next week.
