Its Your Call for July 7

Money better spent elsewhere

I can't imagine a worse use of money than throwing it in Lake Contrary, everyone should drive down to that area and see what it actually looks like.

Much less pleasant place to live

I just would like to ask this to city management, police department, everyone. What is the point of having fireworks, firecrackers, M80 regulations on the books if they're never enforced. It has sounded like a war zone in my neighborhood for the last couple of nights. I can imagine it's going to be horrible for the next couple of nights past that and nothing is ever done. They’re incredibly loud, incredibly big fireworks. The police could easily drive through the neighborhoods and start issuing tickets. I think it makes Saint Joseph a much less pleasant place to live. 

What has this nation become?

Trump was in Iowa giving a speech, and he said I hate Democrats and the people in the crowd applauded. What kind of nation have we become that we have hate speech like that.

Has to be stopped

Now Trump's wanting to send Marines to back up ICE in Florida. This man is out of control. He's putting American troops on the streets of the United States against American citizens. And you can say anything you want to about this guy, but this is the first step of him creating a police state. An authoritarian, as one of the first things that they do. This man, he's not an American and he's not a king. He has to be stopped.
