  • Quite honestly, I’d like to hear from someone more credible than the president.

  • And this, my friends, is why Missouri and American politics are in the state they are right now. Ms. Lueck’s instinct to bring religion into a conversation about No Kings is, of course, ridiculous and ill informed, but it is also not isolated to her.

    To the editor:

    Once again, there were those that proclaimed that they have no king.

    Well, I would like to share my king with all of you. His promise is sure. His goodness is limitless. His grace is sufficient. His reign is righteous. His mercy is everlasting. His yoke is easy and his burden is light. He guards and he guides. He heals the sick. He forgives the sinner, and he does so much more. He is the king of kings. His name is Jesus.

    A political system rooted in religion is bound to ultimately fail as history has shown us time and time again. And let’s be honest with ourselves. A government based on the many Christian religions is no better and no more righteous than a government based on Judaism or Islam. They just use different words and use different rules to control people.

    It is well past time that we make our American government religion-agnostic like it was intended. No more “In god we trust” on our money and in our government buildings. No more “under god” in our Pledge. No more “god bless America” at the end of every speech. It is time to recognize how irrelevant and, in some cases, offensive these words are to a large portion of our citizens. We can do and be better.

  • Being of a certain age and also being from the Midwest, a simple message from our Disney friend, Thumper, is deeply ingrained in my personality – “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all.”

    Today is one of those days where I wish I could turn off that switch and just say what I really think. I am beginning to think life is too short to stay buttoned up and hold everything in all of the time.

  • Does anyone else feel like the president just tried to sell us some of his steaks? Wow, what a completely insane old man.

  • I think it is certainly fair to question the president and Tom Homan about a potential deployment of ICE agents at our nation’s airports. Clearly, there is a reason most of the country does not trust the agency.

    Before any of them walk into an airport on duty, we should know exactly what they will be doing in their official capacity, we should have the more than fair expectation that not one of them will be hiding behind a mask, and every agent should know the exact procedure to hand off tasks and actions to appropriately trained TSA and CBP officers who are actually trained to be working at our ports of entry and dealing with travelers and the stresses that come in those scenarios.

  • If you had any remaining doubts that Trump considers ICE to be his personal intimidation force, this should clarify things for you.

  • This seems like an incredibly important data point for every leader around the globe to consider when interacting with Iran. This is especially true for those leaders that wrongfully feel they have the right to start unprovoked wars.
