It’s Your Call

By NewsPress Now Can’t make up their minds Observing and reading all about all that is going on with the St. Joseph’s school board, I have to ask how the school board can feel confident that the $20 million bond has a chance of passing. A month ago, they were going to stay with the

By NewsPress Now Got to do something I just wonder how many people have to leave St. Joseph before people understand that we’ve got to do something different here. I mean, we just never support our schools like we should. The state doesn’t even do it. There are so many things wrong and we just

By NewsPress Now Here we go again Well, here we go again. The school board’s trying to make changes to the schools. They want to go to two high schools. Why can’t they just leave things alone? They’re not patriots It wasn’t patriots that crawled through the windows of our Capitol. They were criminals, and

By NewsPress Now The real problem Another million for a biking trail, $20 million here, $20 million there, when everyone knows the critical shortage of housing in St. Joe is the main problem. Another saying A few days ago, they had a farmer on the news stating his opinion about daylight savings time. My grandfather

By NewsPress Now Can’t believe it Thirty-five percent of the American people said they trusted Trump. What? I can’t believe it. Lots of lies How many Pinocchios did our President get from what he said in his State of the Union address? They probably didn’t even check him out. But no, we do not have

By NewsPress Now Why would they do it? I just wonder how in the world anybody could vote for Biden. We’re already in trouble Well, I had to listen to it twice because I just not could not believe what I heard. But I heard our president say he better not start taking questions because

By NewsPress Now Not just abortions I see where the House of Representatives in Missouri voted to defund Planned Parenthood. Abortions have not been performed in Missouri for the last two years. Planned Parenthood does other things, like STI screening, cervical cancer screenings, all sorts of women’s health screenings. What a hypocrite A while back,

By NewsPress Now It was unanimous It seems funny that the person in the call ins thinks that the Supreme Court is trying to keep Trump in the race, and they’re only concerned about helping Trump. That was a unanimous decision, and they go by the Constitution, not by political parties. Do they know? Trump

By NewsPress Now Why cut them down? Several people were wondering, including myself, while they cut perfectly healthy trees down at Fairview Golf Course. Does somebody need firewood that bad? Tired of it I’m just so tired of the Democrats trying to make out that the Supreme Court is so biased now just because it’s

By NewsPress Now Can’t stand him I’m a long time independent. I’m not the biggest fan of President Joe Biden, but I absolutely detest Donald Trump. He is a traitor to the American people. The insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021, proved that. He is also a proven liar. Easy fix I saw in the paper

By NewsPress Now Russian roulette The Russian informant, Smirnov, admitted Russian intelligence was involved in the false accusation that President Biden was influenced influence peddling in Ukraine. Like Trump’s former attorney General Barr said, these MAGA Republicans are playing Russian roulette. It’s inexcusable Chicago’s Judge Tracie ruled to keep Trump off the primary ballot because

By NewsPress Now Clean it up, please I live in Savannah, and I turn off there to exit at 71 and I-29 and come down to Frederick Avenue, I have never seen so much trash and dead animals laying along the curb and down the ditches in my life. Looking out for the kids I

By NewsPress Now Kudos to you Big kudos to the St. Joe School Board for rejecting the four-day school day. We don’t have to be like Kansas City. We can do our own thing here. Wrong priorities I think our city council’s got their priorities mixed up. All they think about is these parks, parks,

By NewsPress Now What’s the effect? I want to know all these people that are for the four-day work week for the schools, have they done any studies to see how it affects the kids’ learning? I mean, for heaven’s sakes, we did the shutdown and kids suffered greatly. And now they’re wanting to go

By NewsPress Now Increase their salary I wonder if teachers would favor the four-day school week if the salaries were increased. Those four-day school weeks mean 35 minutes later every day. If we could increase their salary, it may be the best for students and teachers. Fix up the schools I’m calling in about the

By NewsPress Now Clean it up The Northeast Parkway has been closed for an awfully long time during the construction of the walk bridge and the Lovers Lane Bridge. Both bridges have been completed now for some time, but it appears the boulevard remains closed with a mess under the Lovers Lane Bridge. How about

By NewsPress Now Thank you very much Yes, I would like to say that King Hill, we drove up there yesterday and it’s all cleared off. I don’t know who’s responsible but thank you very much. A great business I like to take my hat off to Rogers Pharmacy. Fast, friendly, clean service, and I

By NewsPress Now Don’t understand it I don’t understand why our country isn’t supporting Ukraine. I’ve heard all the excuses from the Republicans I can possibly stomach. And I’ve been a Republican. But this isn’t what Republicans do. Wake up call Historians have ranked Donald Trump at No. 45, being the worst president out of

By NewsPress Now Alternative proposal Here’s an alternative proposal for the school district to consider. Given the loss of learning with the so-called virtual learning during the pandemic, coupled with the overall poor performance of students nationally, I support doing away with a five-day school week and replacing it with a six-day week to help

By NewsPress Now Fix the pothole While the Streets Department was working on Gene Field, I wish they would have went ahead and filled the huge pothole that was like 15 to 20 feet away from where they were originally working. Surprise to me It is so surprising to me the number of people that

By NewsPress Now Think of the kids The St. Joseph School Board only needs to think about what’s best for kids when making a decision about a four-day school week. Big thank you I want to give a big thank you and shout out to the street crews who worked on Gene Field Road. Very

By NewsPress Now Nothing to do with age The Republicans need to wake up to the fact that the problem with Biden is not his age. It’s his cognitive ability to be able to function and put together words and sentences. It’s nothing to do with his age. Some people can be 100 years old

By NewsPress Now This needs to stop More enforcement is needed for these people driving around or parked in neighborhoods with expired license plates, expired paper tags or no license at all. In fact, there are four vehicles in our neighborhood with this going on. That goes to show you with this going on in

By NewsPress Now Honoring America right Thank you, Reba McEntire, for singing the national anthem the way it’s supposed to be sung. Thank you, Reba. A stronger country Trump said he would let Russia attack NATO members. I remember when he was president, he wanted to get out of NATO. We need NATO. It makes

By NewsPress Now Would just like to know Trump says he encourages Russia to attack NATO countries. I would like to know if Republicans go along with this that go along with everything he wants. Two-tiered justice system Biden brought home documents when he was a senator and Vice President, top secret documents, and stored

By NewsPress Now Double standard Tell me one more time how there’s not a double standard. I think I’m going to really be upset. That special counsel for Biden that was checking into him keeping all of those papers came up with the fact that, oh, he’s just a well-meaning old man that has a

By NewsPress Now What were they thinking? I just wanted to express my dismay that the city government has actually approved not just one disruption in tearing up your yards, but two. The grass is finally growing over the mess that MetroNet made in my yard and in everybody’s yard, and now here comes another

By NewsPress Now Explain the price increase I’m calling in regard to our sewer bills here in St. Joseph. I just received my new one yesterday and, according to their chart, my usage current usage is down considerably from my prior usage, but my bill is so much higher. No one at City Hall can

By NewsPress Now Bring it to a vote This is regarding the border bill that just came out from the Senate. This is the most comprehensive reform that we have seen on the border in literally decades. They have kicked this can down the road so long and now we might have some sensible solutions

By NewsPress Now Fun antics I just wanted to shout out to all the football players and the guys who sit underneath the basket at the Missouri Western basketball games. Their antics make the game a lot more lively. Huge thank you Big thank you through these two guys that helped me out on 22nd
