It’s Your Call for Nov. 10

This is what happens Everybody talks about the direction this country’s going. Well, this is what happens when you put a bunch of adolescent, immature children in office. They pout, they argue, they’re right, everybody’s wrong, instead of focusing on what needs to be done. There’s a lot of people lost their benefits, man. A

Special privilege I was just calling about these e-bikes and the regular bicycles. I was downtown having lunch last weekend. I noticed a lot of them. They just go right through the stop signs. They don’t stop. I guess they got a privilege; they don’t have to stop. Traffic’s there and they just seem to

Stuck-in-the-mud school system The School District’s 2019 demographic study clearly indicates that enrollment will continue to decline over the next decade. The analysis is impossible to misinterpret: public school enrollment is shrinking and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. A responsible school board would bite the bullet and begin right-sizing the mix

Do something before there’s an accident I’m calling about the extreme danger that e-bikes pose, especially to pedestrians. Many, many people have been killed in Europe and in the United States who are walking or riding traditional bikes and were hit by e-bikes. And, of course, they’re a danger to the people who are riding

Get rid of the board I’m calling about the school system wanting to cut back on custodians and teachers. What about getting rid of the school board? All they’re doing is spending money for useless things.  Shame on the Democrats The big, beautiful bill passed, and the Democrats didn’t like it. Now they’re holding the

They won’t negotiate It really gets me all these people calling in and saying it’s the Democrats’ fault the government shut down. The Republicans hold the White House and Congress. They’re in charge of that. They won’t talk. They aren’t even in Washington. They haven’t been there for a month. How are they going to

How to tighten the budget For the St. Joe School District to tighten its budget, they need to fire half of the administration. They’re not doing their job anyway.

Makes no sense Donald Trump has caused the doubling or tripling of healthcare premiums, the canceling of food assistance, the closing of hospitals, the increased cost of electricity, and it doesn’t make sense. We supposedly can’t afford these vital services for Americans, but we can give $40 billion to Argentina and we can build a

Love and joy permeate Grace House I continue to be amazed and impressed by what I call “the miracle on Lafayette street.” I’m referring to Grace House, the clothing mission operated at 2638 Lafayette street by Mrs. Ruth Costello and her dedicated volunteers. Grace House charges for nothing. “All free for a smile!” is the

Is anyone else dealing with this? Has anyone else out there paid their bills to Mosaic and because of their poor bookkeeping, we’re getting letters saying that they turn it over to a collection agency even though the checks have already passed the bank.

Getting ridiculous When are these politicians in Washington finally going to quit playing their childish games and playing politics, like Chuck Schumer, and get this country back on track? They’re really starting to hurt people. This is getting ridiculous. Very obvious It’s pretty obvious before the Democratic Party can declare war on the Republicans, they’re

Donald Trump leads his party toward disaster We need to accept the truth. The United States is in crisis both at home and abroad. Our legislators have passed laws that will deny health care and insurance protection to millions, particularly to those who need it most. The government, at the highest level, has saddled us

Start at the top The St. Joseph School District always talks about cutting back and they’re short of money. Why don’t they start with the top? They’ve got more administration now than ever before. Proud of him I’m tickled pink. The kid upstairs packed up his wife and kids and moved out of St. Joe.

Such a joke I was listening to Trump give a speech over in Israel and he couldn’t even make it through the speech without mentioning Biden and Obama. What a joke. How it works House Republicans should be in Washington. They are getting paid to do the people’s business and that includes working with House
