It’s Your Call

By NewsPress Now What in the world are they doing? What in the world is the City of St. Joseph doing on N 36th St. and Robin Lane off of Karnes Rd.? It is been closed now going on two weeks and some days they don’t show up at all. Other days when they show

By NewsPress Now Nothing but hate I see where Trump and the Republican allies are spreading lies about FEMA assistance. How can any true American not see that he is nothing but hate, is a hate monger? Their denial is bad If Republicans who hold office cannot admit that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election,

By NewsPress Now Where do they get their info? We just had a blowout jobs report. Unemployment is down, wages are increasing by more than 4% and inflation is going down. Where are Trump, Vance and the MAGA Republicans getting their economic information? Social media. Small potatoes To the caller that called in about Gov.

By NewsPress Now A wonderful thing they’re doing I’m calling about the cameras for license plates, and I think it’s a wonderful thing they’re doing. And if you’re not a lawbreaker, you should be happy to have those cameras. In this country, the security of the individual is more important than the worry of somebody

By NewsPress Now My question: Why? After Iran shot 180 ballistic missiles into Israel, Netanyahu is saying that they are going to hit Iran and they’re going to make it hurt, which I think it should. But Biden is telling Israel that they will not support them if they hit a nuclear facility, go after

By NewsPress Now It’s a raceway I was wondering when the police are going to be out there on Woodbine Rd. It is a raceway there. There’s people going to faster than 35 miles an hour and there’s no police officers to pull them over. Debate was interesting The VP debate was rather interesting. Walz

By NewsPress Now Wrong state You know, this is on payment disability. I called the Missouri Disability Association the other day about getting my disability. I get a phone call back from New Jersey. New Jersey. Now I called the state of Missouri not New Jersey. See how screwed up this Midwest is, man. Really

By NewsPress Now Don’t get the switch Before Donald Trump decided to run for president and before Elon Musk decided that he was a conservative, the media and everyone else in the world praised them or what they had done. All of a sudden now they’re terrible monsters. I don’t get the switch. Just can’t

By NewsPress Now Just once would be nice Hey MoDOT, just once but I like to go from St. Joseph to Springfield or St. Louis or Hannibal or even Kansas City without having my teeth knocked out. Congrats, LaVell I’m really glad that LaVell Rucker won “Social Worker of the Year” in Missouri. She really

By NewsPress Now Do your homework So far, every single political ad that I’ve heard for Kamala Harris has been lies about Trump. People, you need to do your homework before you vote. It’s very important. Needs some fact checking To that person who thinks Trump could bring the deficit down and negotiate with foreign

By NewsPress Now Just wondering Missouri executed Marcellus Williams. And I’ve always wanted an answer to the question, why do we kill people to prove killing is wrong? Just wondering. When it comes down to it… Once again, when it comes down to what’s the difference between Trump and Harris: Trump can negotiate with foreign

By NewsPress Now Idea regarding traffic law violations No longer going to arrest people who flaunt the laws of our traffic rules or the courts and are in contempt of court by failing to show. I have an idea, why don’t we just impound their car, give them 30 days to pay their fine, keeps

By NewsPress Now Explain it to me Can someone please explain to me what is so wrong with MAGA? The Democrats seem to think the term MAGA is such a poisonous term, when MAGA defined means “Make America Great Again.” That’s all I think anyone in this country of America should want, is our country

By NewsPress Now Focus on priorities first Yeah, money for a skate park, but the city can’t trim trees or take care of drainage issues. Outstanding airshow This last Sunday, September 15, my wife and I went to the St. Joseph Sound of Speed Airshow at Rosecrans Memorial Airport and were treated with the most

By NewsPress Now Ain’t seen nothing I would like to know how come they don’t do anything with Lake Ave. down there. It’s been like that for about 10 years. All they got is potholes up and down and everything else. They said they was going to do something with it this year. I ain’t

By NewsPress Now Does it make sense? The City of St. Joseph wants to spend $400,000 on a skate park when students are walking on the edge of the road at Pickett and Spring Garden schools. Does that make sense? Blame themselves This one’s to “Giving and taking.” After COVID, what were businesses and people

By NewsPress Now I’ve got an idea So, I hear the city just doesn’t know what to do with all that marijuana tax money. Well, here, I’ve got an idea: Fix the boat dock down in front of the city. Put it towards sewer bills I have a great idea for the marijuana tax that

By NewsPress Now Why can’t they open it up? I’d like to again call about the S. 36th St. They’re not doing anything there on that street, but they’ve got it closed off. If they’re not going to do anything to it, why can’t they open it up? It’s a problem, a lot of us

By NewsPress Now You can tell You can tell school’s back on simply by looking at the litter on Southwest Blvd. It’s always trashier when school’s on. Trump’s scared Harris won the debate big time. Trump lost, so now he says he’s not going to have another debate. Trump’s scared to. Nice saying “Those who

By NewsPress Now What will she give? I listened to Vice President Harris talking about how she’s going to give away $50,000 to start a new business. $25,000 for first time home buyers, $6000 if you’ve got a child. But what I didn’t hear her talk about is what she’s going to give to old

By NewsPress Now We’re all St. Joseph I just want to express my opinion. The monument they want to put in the South End, that’s great. A monument. But why couldn’t it say just St. Joseph? Why do we have to have the division of calling south, north, middle, whatever you want to call it.

By NewsPress Now Ability to get parking pass Yeah, I heard on the news talking about the upcoming air show that said you had to get your parking pass online. Well, I guess if you don’t have a computer, or know how to use the computer, I guess you can’t go to the air show

By NewsPress Now Prices are too expensive This call is in regard to St. Joseph’s schools. The schools haven’t been in session very long this year, but they already have the kids trying to sell stuff to make money for the school. I understand them wanting to make money for the school, but the stuff,

By NewsPress Now Put up a parking lot By reading the paper concerning Alabama and Highway 59 to remove the congestion, it seems like the state is going to improve things by just making a parking lot down there. Not surprised Well, the Russians are interfering with our election again to get Trump to be

By NewsPress Now Benefit the many If the city of Saint Joseph has $7 million to give to a nonprofit, private organization for the benefit of a few, let them instead put it into our sewer project to benefit the many. Fix the other bridges first Just seen where they’re going to close the Riverside

By NewsPress Now Surely that’s cheaper I just heard on TV that our City of St. Joseph is donating $7 million to the Y for an indoor pool. My question is, wouldn’t it be cheaper to go down to the empty building that used to be the Y and fix the pool that’s there? Surely

By NewsPress Now They are so slow This is about 229. If they ever do tear it down and fix it or rebuild it as slow as they’re doing their bridge by the casino and the Cook Rd. bridge, maybe my grandchildren, who are three and eight years old, might get to use it the

By NewsPress Now Take up the electric bike issue I am really begging the city council, the city manager, the city attorney, somebody to take up the issue of electric bikes and other vehicles that are on the Parkway system on the regular sidewalks. I just got completely mowed down by a four-year-old on a

By NewsPress Now One of the perks I guess one of the perks of being the incumbent is you can go to Arlington and take photographs for any reason you want, and nobody will complain. You can also sic the Justice Department on your opponent to drive him out of the office. Not a prop

By NewsPress Now Doesn’t make sense I don’t understand a small local business catches on fire and within just a few short hours the owner and their employees are allowed inside the structure, moving things out and moving things around, possibly destroying evidence on the origin of the fire. It doesn’t make sense. Armed security
