It’s Your Call

Its Your Call for April 7

What do you do?  You can’t get an ID in this town unless you have a mailing address. And if you’re homeless and you lost everything, wallet, ID, home, everything. How are you supposed to get an ID when you don’t have a mailing address? You can’t even get a box of food if you’re homeless in this town without a proper ID. Well, if you’re homeless and you don’t have the

It’s Your Call for April 4

I can sleep better now I see where the stable genius in the White House has imposed a 10% tariff on the uninhabited islands of Heard and McDonald near Antarctica. I can sleep better at night knowing the penguins and seals there are not taking advantage of the good old U.S.A.  No spines You know,

It’s Your Call for April 3

Get it cleaned up Okay, winter’s over. The streets of St. Joe look like crap because the city can’t get out and fix the potholes. They’re going to say they don’t have the money or the manpower. St. Joe’s getting tired of hearing excuses from the city. Why don’t we have Trump come in here

Its Your Call for April 2

He’s got to go Trump is now saying that he’ll probably run again for president, even though the Constitution says he can’t, which would make it against the law for him to do it. But he doesn’t think the laws apply to him in his first term. He wanted to get rid of the Constitution.

Would like an explanation It’d be nice if Trump could explain why he thinks it’s so necessary to take over Greenland, even with force. We already have a military base there. We had 17 there. It’s been downsized. We have military bases all over the world. These countries let us put them there for their security,

A depressing drive Stay off of Southwest Parkway. Dumped tires, bags of trash, litter everywhere. It’s a very depressing drive anymore. It used to be beautiful. Now it’s just the new landfill. Please get this street done I was just wondering, does anybody know what they’re doing on that S. 36th St. It’s been a

Your Letters for Feb. 28, 2025

A lack of responsible adults Jodi Flurry from United Way states, “The low supply of housing stock is a real challenge because there’s even people who have a housing voucher through the public Housing Authority, but they can’t find a rental unit, so they stay homeless.” St. Joseph doesn’t have a lack of housing —

Goodbye to two very different presidents As we say goodbye to 2024, we say goodbye to two presidents. No. 1, Jimmy Carter, who was brave enough to walk into Three Mile Island, which a lot of people don’t even remember. And No. 2, probably the worst president we ever saw who campaigning, wouldn’t get out

Think about it Well, I see they’re going to put sidewalks down in the South End for kids to walk home from school. That is great. But here’s a newsflash to our so-called competent city leaders. How about sidewalks by Pickett School before another child gets killed there? Think about it, council, mayor. A tragic

It’s Your Call for Jan. 7

Please be kind Today’s newspaper has a comment about Jimmy Carter dying with a smile on his face, knowing he won’t go down as the worst American president, other times we read slams that don’t make sense with no intellectual basis, just to sling mud. Please, could we be civil and show kindness and intelligence?

Fact checking To that person who said Fox News said Biden was going to stop gas water heaters. If they had done a little fact checking that was misrepresented. That’s not true. There are certain types of coils that won’t be used, and they’re mostly in effect already. So it’s no big deal. Just don’t

Thank you I just wanted to say that I really appreciate all those people that really make an effort at cleaning their sidewalks off for those who use the sidewalks. Something is wrong here Trump is talking about using the military to take Greenland. Does anyone else see anything wrong with this picture? Market on

Fixed game I just got through watching the Denver/Buffalo game and it’s not quite over yet, but everybody’s coming over and shaking the Buffalo’s head coach’s hand and what have you and a ref comes over and shakes his hand. That sounds a little suspicious to me. I have thought these games were fixed for

Is this California or Missouri? Now I recently found out that St. Joe Transit got their idea to do our bus system, which is failing, from California. Evergy came up with this brand-new plan they got and everything from where? California. My question is, is this California? Something needs to be done When is the

Pot calling the kettle black So, our new president wants to go after criminals. He wants to go after illegal immigrants. He wants to go after anybody who’s breaking the law, including government officials who fail to report such things. Well, isn’t that kind of like the kettle calling the pot black? It’s disgusting As

No consequences In response to “It’s disgusting” in the Its Your Call column, what’s disgusting is Michael Byrd faced no consequences for killing Ashley Babbitt, an unarmed woman and veteran of the military. Doesn’t believe in Jesus’ teachings Trump’s demand that Bishop Budde and the Episcopal Church apologize to him for asking him to “have
