Check your stamp Next time you wonder why the mail is so slow, check your cancellation stamp on your letters received. Does it say St. Joe or Kansas City? We need to return to our own basic town.  Huge mistake I do not have a strong opinion about St. Joseph’s School Board president. But I

What really amazes me You know it really amazes me. Trump keeps saying that Putin wants peace. All he’s got to do is stop the war, he started it. And he’s just playing Trump. He’s been playing him since 2016. He thinks Trump is an idiot, which he is. And you wait and see, Donald

Thank you, Saint Patrick’s Church I just wanted to thank Saint Patrick’s Church for their 56th annual Mexican Fiesta and that they were blessed with beautiful weather. I was so happy for them. It was awesome. Thank you.  Doesn’t make sense My question is, you know, this city — and I’m using that as a

Makes no sense Branson probably has more tourists in one day than St. Joseph has all year. And yet, Branson has been closing hotels, and the city of St. Joseph has been telling us citizens that we need more hotels. Doesn’t make sense.  Just one question Got one question to ask. If the wildfires in

Enforce it citywide So, I saw on the news that they’re going to start going to start enforcing illegal parking in yards, etc., but all they show is Downtown. If they’re going to do something, then they need to drive around St. Joe and see all the illegal parking.  Editor’s note: As reported by News-Press

Can’t imagine it Maybe I’m behind the times, but I can’t imagine a marriage where you would go out and buy thousands of dollars’ worth of stock and not mention it to your spouse.  That’s not right This Governor Abbott in Texas is threatening to fire the Democrats if they don’t come back and vote

It’s been long enough I’m just wondering how long it’s going to take to get to bridge over to the Missouri river, the casino bridge, opened because it’s been long enough. Who’s paying for it? Trump is going to spend $200 million for a gold-plated ballroom in the White House. I wonder who’s going to

About time They finally got S. 36th St. open. St. Joe only took you almost two years. Once you get somebody that knows what to do, it won’t take you that long. The real problem The problem in this country isn’t poor people on snap and Medicaid. The problem is in the richest country in

We miss having a pool I think I’m not the only one in Saint Joe who really misses having a pool on these very hot days of summer. It just seems like the Parks Department was just dead set, starting at about 8 years ago, that they were going to close down the pools. They

Bring back Bob Evans I know a nice site for a Bob Evans restaurant come back to Saint Joe. It left years ago. It was a great place to eat breakfast and lunch. The old Golden Corral building would be a great place to open up Bob Evans restaurant. I wish someone in the Bob

There goes the beef When Trump and the Governor of Nebraska called out the National Guard to enforce immigration laws, well, that closes all the beef packing plants in Nebraska. Please explain that You know, when these people write letters and call in about, actually, they’re making excuses for Trump. But I wish one of

Wrong target So, I see where Sam Graves tried to put a $250 tax on electric vehicles, but he certainly wouldn’t be considered doing the same on the gas guzzling humongous trucks driving around town to save our environment. Not doing his job I thought Trump gave up all his business ventures to his son

Thank you, President Trump I just heard on the news, because Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill did away with the solar panels and other energy related items that my electrical bill may go up as much as 15%. Thanks again, Mr. Trump.  Completely unfair This is about the city providing new sidewalks for a certain area

Here’s the cure I can tell from reading It’s Your Call that there are a lot of people in St. Joseph with Trump Derangement Syndrome. You know, that can be cured if you watch FOX News every now and then and quit listening to the national news media and do a little thinking on your

We don’t need more hotels The City of Saint Joseph is trying to convince citizens that we need more hotels, mainly because of the one time World Cup that’s coming to Kansas City. They say we will pick up their overflow of tourists who need a place to stay. Yet Kansas City and surrounding suburbs

Can we look into this? I have family buried at the Mount Auburn Cemetery and I wonder who owns Mount Auburn Cemetery on Beck Rd. The management needs to be called to task for their poor performance in maintaining the grounds. There’s dead trees, the driveway is in very bad condition and the grass is

Terrible shame Well, here comes the Chiefs to town again, and thank goodness we get to see the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s just a damn shame that the city officials in all their infinite wisdom, didn’t get all of this town cleaned up and get the bums off the street. I only hope the Chiefs

Getting sick of this You know, there’s just an awful lot of us older veterans that kind of figure that if there’s a bunch of idiots that want to start a war in this country, they just will get going before we get too tired to fight for our country. We’re getting a little sick

News bias A recent article on your online app reported an individual allegedly threatening to shoot up his former college because they did him wrong. Nowhere did he make a threat against his former high school. Yet you, as a responsible media member, decided to declare his high school affiliation. He went to other high

Feel the need Why do the Republicans feel the need to block the release of files that apparently don’t even exist?  Can’t admit he’s wrong A couple of days ago, the leader of NATO was in Trump’s office talking with him. And Trump kept going on, calling the war in Ukraine Biden’s war. This man

We can sleep at night The reason there are not many pro-Trump call-ins is because us Republicans are content with the leadership of President Trump and Vice President Vance. We can sleep at night knowing better government is evolving. We are patient now and allowing time necessary for true change. Democrats are discontent, mad because
