It’s Your Call

By NewsPress Now Odd requirements Apparently to run for office in Missouri on the Republican ticket, you must own an AR15 or a flame thrower. What’s going on in America? Focus on Congress first I just heard over the radio this morning that the politicians want to put term limits on the Supreme Court. Maybe

By NewsPress Now Follow the money The Chiefs and Royals do need to move, but not to Kansas. Jackson County is a large county but there is too much poverty. Platte County is the wealthiest county in Northwest Missouri. The perfect spot to build new stadiums is southeast of the airport along I-435. Go where

By NewsPress Now Better off If Donald Trump was more like Joe Biden with honesty and integrity and putting country over power, our country would be so much better off. Believing their lies They say a pathological liar actually begins to believe his own lies after he’s told him often enough. I think Joe Biden

By NewsPress Now Have you heard this one? Did you hear the one about the felon and the prosecutor that walked into a bar in Milwaukee? They were late for the presidential debate. Something needs to be done Something needs to be done about the unwanted phone calls and text messages from politicians. I called

By NewsPress Now Clean up the town Why is St. Joe wasting their money on Krug Park? That’s a dying dog. They need to get around and pick up some of the trash in this town. Where are you going? This is on this new bus system. Has anybody been Downtown to catch the city

By NewsPress Now Terrible mistake, in my opinion I’m calling about the Missouri Western State University Athletic Department. They just made a decision, I understand, to take their ball games off of KFEQ radio. For me, that’s a terrible mistake on their part. Lots of lies I just heard Hakeem Jefferies praise Biden as the

By NewsPress Now Business as usual Well, good news, St. Joseph. I see we have a new police chief, but that’s not the good news. The good news is it’s business as usual. No checking for outdated drivers license plates and no chasing the bad guys. In other words, it’s business as usual. Before they

By NewsPress Now Truly tacky Isn’t there supposed to be some kind of a barrier in the fencing to block the view of that junkyard on 22nd St. just south of Garfield? That is truly, truly, tacky. They need to seal that up. Others have black paper around them. This is just a junkyard in

By NewsPress Now Dumber than a box of rocks I have seen MoDOT do some ignorant things in my life. But to close down I-29 before you get to 36 Highway, which I want to go east on, that’s dumber than a box of rocks. The raises they deserve I’m calling about the August election,

By NewsPress Now When will they be done? I’m calling about the street construction on S. 36th St. This has gone on for almost a year. I sat there and I watched and there’s days there’s nobody there. When are they ever going to get this done so we can use this street? He’s the

By NewsPress Now Fix the potholes Hey, St. Joe, you know, it’s about time you go out to the North Shoppes and fix them big old potholes. I about lost my car when I was going from Walmart to AT&T. You know, it’s bad enough that you can’t fix the streets, but you get rent

By NewsPress Now It’s a shame It’s a shame that they couldn’t have caught the attempted assassin on Trump alive. Maybe they could have squeezed it out of him if he was acting alone, or if what his motive was, or if he was hired, or what. But I’m sure the FBI is going to

By NewsPress Now Get on the ball, St. Joe I was calling about the senior citizens. You know, there’s other states that’s passed and towns that have passed for the senior citizens to not to pay property tax so they can have money to buy their food and their medication and other things they desperately

By NewsPress Now Why isn’t it happening here? Are Buchanan County seniors ever going to get a break on property taxes? It’s happening everywhere else. Why not here? Looking for a solution We didn’t know what to do. Today, like many days, between 9:18 and 10:20, we received 23 calls from all different areas that

By NewsPress Now When will this stop? I just opened my energy bill and there was the notice in there that they are asking again for another rate hike. They said it could be up to $17 and some odd cents per month, almost $18 more per month. When will this stop? People on fixed

By NewsPress Now That’s just life This is a comment on the It’s Your Call column in Monday’s paper, “It could be worse.” Interest rates on mortgages, yes, back in 1981, when Jimmy Carter was president, the market interest rate on mortgages was over 18% because I had one. Couldn’t get any one close to

By NewsPress Now Be considerate I live in North End around the park area and people in the neighborhood celebrate the 4th before and well past the curfew hour of 10 p.m. Some of us have to work and I really would like to get some sleep. Please be considerate. Why raise the rates? If

By NewsPress Now Might get something good out of it That sports center they’re wanting to build, why not just knock down East Hills because you can’t go out there and shop anyway? So, you might as well tear it down and put a sports center there. May get some good out of it. Can’t

By NewsPress Now We were better off then I was disgusted watching the debates, so I simply switched channels to watch the Royals baseball game. Now Optimum has seen fit to eliminate that channel from our choices so we can no longer watch the Royals games. I think we were better off in the ‘60s

By NewsPress Now Where’s the ball game? The Royals and the Cardinals are not on TV no more in St. Joe. That’s very, very sad. I hope and pray the Royals and the Cardinals get on a channel somewhere in Saint Joe. About to lose it The socialist communists that are trying to destroy this

By NewsPress Now A true delight Thank you, thank you, thank you to the five sponsors of Bob Ford’s History. It is the highlight of my weekend to read Bob Ford’s article on Saturday morning. What a delight. I hope it continues. What’s next? Well, I see now where the Republicans want to do away

By NewsPress Now Not doing their jobs I feel that the Supreme Court, to some degree, is not doing their job, and the fact that they don’t want to release any decisions on cases before the court because it may tend to affect the debate, I disagree with that because the people need to know

By NewsPress Now Anyone else notice this? Has anyone else noticed the spontaneous appearance of speed bumps on some of our asphalt streets? Does the Police Department have a new tool to control speed or are our asphalt streets buckling from the heat? He should call Putin up If Trump is such good friends with

By NewsPress Now Backyard burglars Well, summer is officially here. The dandelions are growing in the yard and the backyard burglars are out picking up stuff. Keep an eye on your alleyway, people. Not everybody wants to be stolen from. Quality of life is No. 1 This is regarding the paper’s editorial essentially saying that

By NewsPress Now Just a question I have a question. If inflation is up, everybody says it’s a different percentage, 19%, let’s say, therefore the sales tax is going up a certain amount. That sales tax money goes to the state, the city. What are they spending it on? Who’s controlling it and what are

By NewsPress Now They’re losing money CNN’s Van Jones is shouting to the rooftop that anyone with a cognitive brain needs to watch the debate. Well, the reason is CNN is hemorrhaging money. Does it remind you of anyone? Anyone who watched the movie “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” doesn’t that remind you of

By NewsPress Now The new Trump world Unfortunately, Trump’s core base of voters rule this land. Paul Ryan’s ex Majority Leader said Trump is unfit for office. So Trump told his followers not to watch FOX News. Ryan is a board of director at FOX. If Republican leaders oppose Trump, he calls them a RINO.

By NewsPress Now What are the odds? Currently, there are two presidential debates scheduled, which will be hosted by two biased media outlets. What are the odds that Biden already has been given the questions? Wouldn’t want to be in their shoes God holds each and every one of us accountable, and we all have

By NewsPress Now Pothole liability Remarks about the pothole problems in Saint Joe’s in today’s paper, where a lot of cars are being damaged by potholes. People, you better realize the city’s not going to be liable for nothing. All we’re going to do is give you a shovel full of asphalt and they’re not

By NewsPress Now Preventative measures needed I like looking at those skater statues as much as anybody else, but I just got to wonder how long it’s going to be before either one or all three of them come up missing again. I think the city needs to find some way to keep them safe,
