It’s Your Call

Do some research To that person who thinks Democrats don’t think people should have to prove they’re citizens to vote, apparently you haven’t registered to vote recently. I’ve worked in the elections for almost 10 years, and I can guarantee you that, at least here and all over the country, I know, you have to

They better gear up I hear they want more driverless cars in this country, all over the country. And all I can say is the junkyards and the funeral homes better gear up for more funerals and junk.  We make St. Joseph great We make St. Joe great again. Keep the baby boomers on all

Time to send in the clowns They said on TV that one shutdown is over, but another one is expected to begin. I listened and I waited and listened for the music of sending the clowns.  No way we’ll pay down the debt now Trump has allocated $43 billion to build facilities to lock up

I sure wonder I wonder where those Trump haters are buying their gas since the average is like $2.39 a gallon. Gosh, are they walking instead of buying gas? I wonder.  It doesn’t work too well My father raised me to live and let live and I get the you be you movement thing, I

Respect for letter I would like to say that I thank Loes Hedge for her letter in the paper. And she did not take the usual stance of just “It’s Your Call,” where you don’t have to put your name to print. I have to respect her for doing that. Thank you very much. Ben

Something I’ve noticed Here’s something I’ve noticed about St. Joe. There are no good jobs here for college grads unless you’re a nurse. Almost everything in this town is manufacturing, factory work. Not everybody wants to work in a factory, especially if you just put in four or five years of work for a degree.

The king of chaos I guess the king of chaos and of hatred and lies has got his machine pumping out propaganda like crazy right now in Washington, D.C. Every time that his base gets a little shaky under him, where they was wanting Epstein, what’s he do? He goes, takes over control of a

Horrible drivers St. Joseph has some of the worst drivers I’ve ever seen. Yeah, sure, let’s go 10 miles under the speed limit or 10 miles over the speed limit. Let’s pull right out in front of people while they’re driving down the Belt. Let’s run stop signs and lights. I swear, if someone told

No clue what they’re talking about You know, I realize that talk show hosts have their place but armchair quarterbacks have no clue what a chaotic situation is because they sat behind a chair and a desk and coffee and look at a piece of film and go oh yeah, this could have happened, that

Tired of hearing about it I do not know about anyone else, but I am really tired of hearing if Travis Kelce is going to retire. He knows right now what he’s going to do. Just let the cat out of the bag, Kelce.   Never served a day in his life Our president, who never

It’s just what we need Well, I see St. Joe is getting another fast-food restaurant on the Belt Highway. Just what we need. God forbid we get a skating rink or an indoor water park for our youth. Let’s just keep getting more fast food so all our kids can get fat. Amen.  What’s the

Makes no sense Enough about politics. Can someone explain to me how, on January the 20th, I received my gas bill that is due January the 26th, yet the statement date is January the 9th? I just want somebody to explain how it took that long to get to my house for me to have

The monster is released   United States, you have released the monster on the world, and Republicans and the Supreme Court continue to enable the monster’s destruction. Meet your monster from within.  World Board of Peace Trump is starting up the World Board of Peace. It’s going to cost $1 billion to join. Does the

Oh my To the caller about suing the President of the United States. Can you imagine if that were the case, the backlog it would be to sue the Bidens? Oh my. He’s lost his mind You know, Trump has totally lost his mind. He got a hold of Denmark and told them since Denmark

Is anyone else not getting mail on Saturdays? I no longer receive mail or get my mail picked up out of my mailbox on Saturdays here in St. Joseph. Did they stop Saturday deliveries and just not tell us or what’s going on with that? Another Trump’s fundraising plan A Board of Peace, Trump’s latest

Just amazing It’s just amazing. Trump just keeps lying to the American people. He tells them we need Greenland for our own security. Well, sure, that’s true. But Denmark has always let us have bases there. We’ve got their one right now. We’ve had them in the past. Denmark said we can put as many

Can’t make it up Democrats in Illinois and Minnesota are suing the federal government to keep them from enforcing federal law. Does that mean just the laws protecting illegal aliens and criminals, or is it all federal laws? You can’t make this stuff up.  Whatever he says, they do the opposite There’s controversy over who

What’s up with Minnesota? So, what is the matter with these people in Minnesota? Do they condone illegal people in their state? Because that’s what it appears to the rest of us in this country.   Clown school fund I’m starting a GoFundMe page for Trump to raise money so he can go to clown

He’s mad with power Trump has gone completely mad with power. We must get rid of him.  Hold Noem responsible Thank you, Jake Tapper of CNN, for confronting Kristi Noem with the January 6 riot at our Capitol. Why can’t our congressmen hold Kristi Noem responsible for what’s going on now in our cities?  Nobody

That’s not sedition Senator Mark Kelly, who served many years of active military service, including years as a heroic astronaut, has been condemned as seditious by Trump for reminding the military that they have a duty to refuse unlawful orders. That is not seditious. Sedition is what Trump did on January 6, 2021, when he

Time to clean house I hope that the American people, seeing all the chaos in the United States, will do something at election time. Clean house. A big lie Like Jan. 6th attacked on our Capitol, President Trump and Kristi Noem have now called the shooting of an American citizen in Minneapolis a justified action.

He needs to take care of U.S. first I thought that President Trump was saying we were going after Venezuela for drugs. Now it’s all about oil. He needs to take care of the United States before going after everyone else. Done more to divide this country I see where Trump has canceled child care

Is anyone else concerned? So we’ve got bears coming from the south and mountain lions from the north. Does no one seem concerned about any of this? I resent him Now Trump plans to spend $100 billion dollars of our tax money on the Venezuelan oil producing infrastructure that will benefit big oil producers. I

Can Congress let him know? So do we allow a wannabe dictator to start to rule across South America and Central America the same way that Hitler did in Europe in the 1930s? Or is it time for Congress to finally grow up here and put him in his place and let him know he’s

The world is at risk now Well Trump not only stomped on our Constitution again by going into Venezuela without notifying Congress, but he’s also put the world at very great risk now. What’s going to keep China from going into Taiwan now. I mean Trump did it to Venezuela as if he got the

Do the job right I received a letter from the St. Joseph City Council stating that they have noticed that over the years that cleanliness of neighborhoods and trash and stuff being picked up and taken care of creates a lot less problems and the crime was down. Anyway, I agree. And they’re wanting money

Thank you, Rep. Shields This call is in praise of Representative Brenda Shields. I just had a situation in my life, actually my wife and mine’s life, that we just had no solution for. And so, I emailed Brenda Shields. Unbelievably with the health that woman is facing and this time of year, she took

Can’t have both Is St. Joseph deteriorating, as a caller recently declared, or is it failing, as another proclaimed in the same day? Or are St. Joseph citizens failing their city? Only about 25% of registered voters bothered to vote on Election Day in nonpartisan elections. The majority of this 25% have come to favor

The city is deteriorating I’m calling about a couple of comments in It’s Your Call about the shape of St. Joseph. Yes, St. Joseph is in a sad shape. It’s deteriorating. It’s dirty. The white signs on the corners, the post saying what street it is, most of them you can’t even read. They used

Looked it up in the dictionary This is my first trip back to St. Joseph in 25 years. Once I got here, I grabbed the dictionary and looked under the term failing city, and there was St. Joseph, Missouri.  Makes no sense Why do we send our St. Joseph sewer bill payment to Kansas City?
