An insult to the Chiefs and the NFL It seems inconceivable that a graduate of Yale Law School, the Vice President of the United States, would say in an interview with USA Today that he hopes the NFL does not put a thumb on the scale for the Kansas City Chiefs just because Travis Kelce

Wise strategy Trump’s strategy is wise: hate, division, fear and chaos. He loves chaos because that keeps the American people from seeing what he’s actually doing. He’s stirring up all this stuff about the National Guard and military troops to keep us from looking at what he’s doing to our economy, how he’s handling the

Strongly disagree I strongly disagree with the placement of the National Guard in our cities. The National Guard should be under the control of the state’s governor, not the president. Are we winning yet? At Monday’s school board meeting, during a discussion on why an item was now more expensive than originally quoted, that big,

Just a green as a field We just took a ride to Lake Contrary, and the county should ask for their money back because it’s not dying. It’s just green like a field. Never thought I’d see it As a senior citizen born during World War 2 and the years of the Holocaust, I never

Not how it works It really distresses me on the way the Israelis are starving those Gazan children. That’s not how it all works.  Newsflash Well, for those of you who think that Donald Trump is the greatest president that ever lived, or you believe that there has been no Epstein list, I have another newsflash

Wake up I’d like to voice my concern for the mentality of Richard Sharp and his article in the News-Press on Aug. 22. What country is he living in? Trump bringing law and order? Does he read anything or listen to anything besides Fox, Newsmax and Truth Social? Wake up Mr. Sharp. Unwatchable I tried

Democrat lies It is said that Satan is the master of lies, but he can’t hold a candle to the lies the Democrats are saying about President Trump. They just said Satan, hold my beer. What would he think? Would our President approve of the section in St. Joseph’s Museum within the Black Archives section

Will never vote for the GOP again Donald Trump has effectively ruined the Republican Party. I’ll never vote Republican again. Never win another election If the Democrats’ only policy is to fight Trump on everything, you will never win another election. Thank you for that. Poor planning I just delivered a grandson to Mid-Buch school,

Wonderful article I just finished reading the story from the St. Joseph News-Press on Tuesday, August 12, named “A century of influence.” It was written about Harold Roe Bartle, the name man for the Chiefs, and it was written by Cameron Montemayor and written with a great deal of help from former St. Joe Mayor

They have no clue Well, I see they finally got S 36th open. Hurrah for Saint Joseph, but now they’re working on the corner of Jackson and 36th St. That will probably take another year and a half. Why can’t they get something done timely? Call Herzog. They know what to do. St. Joe City

Quite ridiculous I’m just calling about the Weekender story about the what they’re calling now the lap pool, just the original actual pool at the Aquatic Center, the old Noyes Pool. I would really beg them to not remove it. If they’re going to remove it, replace it, but certainly fix it. A town of

Makes no sense If Donald Trump really wanted to fight crime in the D.C. area, why did he give pardons to the Jan. 6, 2021, violent insurrectionist who bludgeoned Capitol police and sent lawmakers scrambling for safe places to hide?  He is what he is Well, Donald Trump is what he is. A convicted felon.

No wonder It’s no wonder why Kansas City seems to think that St. Joe’s is no longer a city. It’s a town. And even though we have a finance department with the city and a Postal Service building in our town, many times, bills such as sewer and mail get sent to Kansas City. Kansas

Will it be done in time? This is about the new football field down at Noyes Field. They got a sign as it is supposed to be complete in August. I know school start in about a week. And I haven’t seen anybody down there working on it since July. Are they going to have

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
