Making America worse Trump’s tariffs, which are tax increases, have cost us $6 trillion in the past few days. And he’s fired thousands of federal employees. And cut funding to many social programs and services. We pay taxes for and depend on. He’s rapidly making America worse. Unbelievable I just noticed the ugly gold furnishings

Sentinel guard  Congratulations to Josh Habeeb for being appointed a Sentinel guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. That is a very prestigious and honorable job. Congratulations, Mr. Josh Habeeb.

No wonder Trash, trash, trash. Isn’t there a city code with putting your trash in trash cans with lids instead of on the ground? It’s not supposed to be out, and that’s all you see is bags on the ground instead of in trash cans. Animals have torn the bags open and trash is everywhere.

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

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,

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

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.

Do something about it I live south of the 36th St. construction and we have to use 35th St. to get up to Mitchell just to get onto the Belt Highway, and 35th is very narrow compared to 36th and people drive too fast. Also, the street on Donovan Ave., which is two blocks south

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 novel idea Let’s pay the teachers update, update our 3 high schools and leave the phones and the coffee shops at home.  We’re thrilled  Yes, we all Republicans, after two months of Trump, are thrilled, thrilled, thrilled. I see his Cabinet. I see him on TV every day. Somebody’s out there telling you what’s

Thought I’d let you know This is in reference to a message in It’s Your Call in the March 26 paper. They think they got a problem with 36th St. They ought to come up by Fort Smith on Prospect Ave. There’s been a hole in the street now for well over a year and a

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

Bridges What’s wrong with this picture? It takes longer to fix the 6th St. viaduct in St. Joseph than it does to rebuild the Broadway Bridge in Kansas City. Not all taxes The senior real estate tax relief program does not freeze all real estate taxes. Assessed value of your home every two years and

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 —
