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

Show us the mathematics Where does the St. Joseph School District go from here? There is only one probable answer…show us the mathematics. What will be the true mathematical senior high school population numbers in 2030, 2035, and beyond? Without prejudice, if the numbers are less than 4,000 each year the SJSD would benefit with

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.

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

Makes no sense The St. Joseph School District and board is spending millions on our three football and track stadiums. If the plan is to close Benton as a high school, then why spend millions of dollars on Benton Sparks Stadium? As Samuel Clemens, AKA Mark Twain, once said, first, God made idiots just for

Absolute roar of whining The resent court settlement of $16 million by CBS News with Donald Trump has generated an absolute roar of “whining” and “foot stomping” from leftist journalists, because their employer admitted and was held accountable for their very demonstrated efforts to literally edit public commentaries or interviews to assist a rival presidential

Why would they do that? Why would the Republicans rather give tax breaks to the very rich rather than ensure that our children in this country have the necessities of life?  About the scanner… I’m calling in regards to the scanner.
