It’s Your Call

By NewsPress Now Totally unacceptable Why are the bathrooms at Bartlett Park not working? I took my grandson over there and there were about 40 kids there playing and there was nowhere for nobody to go to bathroom. For the money we pay in parks tax, this is totally unacceptable and I’m tired of it.

By NewsPress Now They have the same leadership style When Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, he met with Viktor Orban, the pro-Putin, anti-Democratic leader of Hungary, at Mar-a-Lago. Trump and Orban made it public that they both have the same style of leadership. After many scandals, it looks like after 10 years of autocratic

By NewsPress Now Don’t ignore the old parts of town This is about the new pool proposal at the new Y. I would just suggest that if the city or anybody is going to spend any more of taxpayer money, please put it in the old parts of St. Joe. It was wonderful. We had

By NewsPress Now What gives you the right? Joe, you and the far-left Democrats, the biggest laughingstock in the world that there is, what gives you the right to talk about other people interfering in our elections when you’re trying to interfere in Israel and what’s going on in that nation? Just one question With

By NewsPress Now There are two choices We have two choices in this election. Biden, who works for the American people, or Trump, who only cares about himself and wants everyone else to pay his legal fees. Trump has indictments and felony charges against him. He paid a woman millions of dollars for sexual assault.

By NewsPress Now Avoiding more chaos This is in response to “Two Choices.” I totally agree with the caller and that’s why I will be casting my vote for Donald J. Trump to avoid four more years of utter chaos and destruction of America. Acting pretty bizarre I get it that the solar eclipse is

By NewsPress Now Thank you, Parks and Rec Just like to give a shout out to the Parks and Recreation department for cleaning up King Hill. My wife and I were up there. The view is fantastic. Now all we need to do is redo that road up on the hill. Curb appeal is important

By NewsPress Now Grateful but sad We can be grateful I suppose that 22.5% of registered voters took part in Tuesday’s election, but the sad thing is 77.5% of voters cared so little about local government that they simply stayed at home. Denied the opportunity Four more states are allowed to vote in a primary

By NewsPress Now Hip hip hooray Hip hip hooray for the Kansas City people that voted down the increased tax for the Chiefs and Royals. Have the owners open up their pocketbooks and buy it themselves. They don’t need help from the public. Article was right on I work in a business where we mail

By NewsPress Now Figure it out This is concerning the St. Joseph School Board business. Instead of worrying about building new high schools and stuff, why don’t they figure out a way to solve the parking and picking and dropping off kids around Mark Twain, Truman and Central, because the traffic there is congested. How

By NewsPress Now Using their instincts Polls suggest that church attendance is down across the board, but I would contend that people are praying harder than ever. I think instinctively people know the world’s in trouble. Not proper justice I’ve been watching with interest the story of Alex Murdaugh, who has just been sentenced to

By NewsPress Now More interested in test scores A school district administrator here said we need to put turf on the football fields so we can compete better with Kansas City-area schools. I’m more interested in test scores and what to do about that. Getting outrageous My dog and I were just about run over

By NewsPress Now Modern Three Stooges Yeah, I see where Clinton and Obama’s going to campaign for Biden. I would call this the modern day Three Stooges: Moe, Curly and Larry. No improvement For those of you that voted yes in the Ping Poll on the economy improving, what country do you live in? I

By NewsPress Now Something to show for it I see that Trump is selling stock for his Truth Social media platform and could pull in billions. I would rather own his gold-colored tennis shoes. At least you’d have something to show for your money. Blowing their horn When Biden took office, gasoline was around $2.00

By NewsPress Now Shift the priorities I noticed the other day in the News-Press that Chief Luster says we can’t arrest our way out of this issue, referring to the homeless issue in St. Joseph. He’s probably right, but maybe we should devote less money to trail bike riding in St. Joseph, maybe a little

By NewsPress Now Would be nice if something’s done This is about the road conditions on Karnes Ave. I don’t know if you’ve driven it lately, but it’s nothing but holes. It would be nice if the city or the county or whoever is responsible would fix it or at least patch the holes until

By NewsPress Now Looks good so far I pass the monument for the stockyards every day. The chemical company has left the livestock exchange entrance, and I think it’s very nice, and I’m just kind of wondering when it’ll be finished and just what all else they’re gonna add to it or just exactly what

By NewsPress Now Pay taxes somewhere Two Republican governor candidates want to eliminate income tax. But in states who don’t have income tax, in Wyoming, it costs hundreds of dollars a year to register your vehicle. So, they’re going to pay a tax somewhere. Great except for the price This is about Lake Contrary dredging.

By NewsPress Now Sell, sell, sell This is in regard to the schools. I have grandchildren in a couple of different schools here in the city. A couple of weeks ago, some of them were selling major saver cards. Now they’ve got them selling Red Wheel, the food items that are pretty costly for an

By NewsPress Now Other options Thank you for the article about Lake Contrary. I know they said there were just a few options, having the county own it or the city or privately. I think they forgot the Missouri Department of Conservation. That lake is really important for wildlife during the migrations, the pelicans come,

By NewsPress Now Need consistent laws If a pregnant woman is kicked in the stomach by her boyfriend and it causes a miscarriage, the boyfriend will likely be charged with both assault and second-degree murder. Most women agree that the murder charge should be included, even if the pregnancy is just a month or two

By NewsPress Now Big thank you I just wanted to thank so much the people that put together the St. Patrick’s Day parade. I’m sure it’s a lot of work and the people that participated, that is a perfect example of bringing people together post-pandemic. I think that we have so many fewer opportunities post-pandemic

By NewsPress Now Can’t make up their minds Observing and reading all about all that is going on with the St. Joseph’s school board, I have to ask how the school board can feel confident that the $20 million bond has a chance of passing. A month ago, they were going to stay with the

By NewsPress Now Got to do something I just wonder how many people have to leave St. Joseph before people understand that we’ve got to do something different here. I mean, we just never support our schools like we should. The state doesn’t even do it. There are so many things wrong and we just

By NewsPress Now Here we go again Well, here we go again. The school board’s trying to make changes to the schools. They want to go to two high schools. Why can’t they just leave things alone? They’re not patriots It wasn’t patriots that crawled through the windows of our Capitol. They were criminals, and

By NewsPress Now The real problem Another million for a biking trail, $20 million here, $20 million there, when everyone knows the critical shortage of housing in St. Joe is the main problem. Another saying A few days ago, they had a farmer on the news stating his opinion about daylight savings time. My grandfather

By NewsPress Now Can’t believe it Thirty-five percent of the American people said they trusted Trump. What? I can’t believe it. Lots of lies How many Pinocchios did our President get from what he said in his State of the Union address? They probably didn’t even check him out. But no, we do not have

By NewsPress Now Why would they do it? I just wonder how in the world anybody could vote for Biden. We’re already in trouble Well, I had to listen to it twice because I just not could not believe what I heard. But I heard our president say he better not start taking questions because

By NewsPress Now Not just abortions I see where the House of Representatives in Missouri voted to defund Planned Parenthood. Abortions have not been performed in Missouri for the last two years. Planned Parenthood does other things, like STI screening, cervical cancer screenings, all sorts of women’s health screenings. What a hypocrite A while back,

By NewsPress Now It was unanimous It seems funny that the person in the call ins thinks that the Supreme Court is trying to keep Trump in the race, and they’re only concerned about helping Trump. That was a unanimous decision, and they go by the Constitution, not by political parties. Do they know? Trump
