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 —

Goodbye to two very different presidents As we say goodbye to 2024, we say goodbye to two presidents. No. 1, Jimmy Carter, who was brave enough to walk into Three Mile Island, which a lot of people don’t even remember. And No. 2, probably the worst president we ever saw who campaigning, wouldn’t get out

Absolutely gorgeous at night If you haven’t been up to Krug Park and seen the lights this year, they are absolutely beautiful. The city has a real gem in the castle. I sure hope they don’t let it go to pot, and they do something with it. Really, it is absolutely gorgeous up here at

Think about it Well, I see they’re going to put sidewalks down in the South End for kids to walk home from school. That is great. But here’s a newsflash to our so-called competent city leaders. How about sidewalks by Pickett School before another child gets killed there? Think about it, council, mayor. A tragic

Died happily I am so happy that President Jimmy Carter was able to die with a smile on his face, knowing that finally he will not go down in history as the worst American president. I’m sure he died happy. I can’t pay that I wanted to comment on the Evergy new rate plans. We’ve

Please be kind Today’s newspaper has a comment about Jimmy Carter dying with a smile on his face, knowing he won’t go down as the worst American president, other times we read slams that don’t make sense with no intellectual basis, just to sling mud. Please, could we be civil and show kindness and intelligence?

Fact checking To that person who said Fox News said Biden was going to stop gas water heaters. If they had done a little fact checking that was misrepresented. That’s not true. There are certain types of coils that won’t be used, and they’re mostly in effect already. So it’s no big deal. Just don’t

Thank you I just wanted to say that I really appreciate all those people that really make an effort at cleaning their sidewalks off for those who use the sidewalks. Something is wrong here Trump is talking about using the military to take Greenland. Does anyone else see anything wrong with this picture? Market on

Snow stops everything I’m in my 60s and I don’t ever remember a snowstorm where we got at least 15-16 inches where it stopped the mail. It stopped the trash pick-up. The snowplows are behind. I don’t ever remember a storm in my 60 years that ever had its effect on the city of Saint

Fixed game I just got through watching the Denver/Buffalo game and it’s not quite over yet, but everybody’s coming over and shaking the Buffalo’s head coach’s hand and what have you and a ref comes over and shakes his hand. That sounds a little suspicious to me. I have thought these games were fixed for

Shame they can’t keep it up The city’s done a pretty good job with the snow removal, but down in the South End, off King Hill, is a street called Cherokee, and it runs right along the InterServ and then right on past the VFW down the street. It hasn’t been bladed or cleaned or
