Well I saw today where this Dr. Ford, who got up and testified and told all the lies that she had to tell on Judge Kavanaugh, had a huge smile, a huge laugh on her face. I would be laughing, too, if I just got paid millions to do what she did by George Soros.

In just over two weeks, polls will open in Missouri and the very long 2018 campaign season will finally end. The spotlight will fall on the hotly-contested senatorial contest between Attorney General Josh Hawley and incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill. As of this writing, that contest is simply too close to call. But in addition to the Senate race, a number of issues will also be on the Nov. 6...

Yes, I went to Garden of Memories Cemetery yesterday to see my son’s headstone only to find his picture had been taken off. As I looked through the cemetery, it is a very somber sight to see that most of the headstones were either sinking into the ground, had lost pictures or just had been forgot all together due to weeds or not being taken care of. If you do have loved ones out there, you might...

Yes, I’m a concerned citizen. And apparently there are no enforcement rules for property other than the plantational locations in the north end of town. 305 Missouri there’s been two cars sitting there for two months and not one with no license plates. They haven’t run in over a month and a half. The city has been called about them. The dealer plates are not dealer plates. The drive out tags on...

I suspect we’re all guilty of clinging to things long past their expiration date. A shirt in the closet that no longer fits and is woefully out of style. Well worn shoes that may well conjure past memories but should have been relegated to the trash heap long ago. There’s a comparison in the political world as well. Many local and lifelong Democrats are clinging to a political party that no...

Mr. 77, I think you are going to see a lot changes if you live very much longer. By the way, you need to look up the definition in the Webster’s Dictionary of socialism, communism and some of the other forms of government that will happen if the Democrats stay in. By the way, Mr. Jensen, you are right about John Kerry. I heard him speaking recently for about one minute and could tell what he was...

A couple of weeks ago when Hurricane Florence threatened the east coast, my wife called me one morning on her way to work in awe of the hundreds of utility trucks heading east in a mile-long caravan. This week, as Hurricane Michael hurled toward Florida, I saw dozens if not hundreds of utility trucks parked overnight in Sikeston on their way toward the Gulf coast. And that sight made me wonder...

I would like to speak out about the campaign trail. I have heard that President Trump is going to be campaigning in Cape Girardeau for Josh Holloway. I also would like to know if it is true that Claira McClaskey invited President Trump to her rose garden to have a cold beer with her when he is up there campaigning for Josh Holloway. If you can find out, please put it in a speak out. And thank you...

The fake news channels of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Slimes, The Washington Compost and now we find Google. Google is censoring our communications. And they are in the tank with the fake news media. And now we find out also that they have increased the numbers of the Puerto Rican deaths 50-times more than what the original numbers were, just to disparage President Trump. All we are...

Why do Democrats resort to mob rule? In the wake of the national disgrace following the confirmation of a new Supreme Court Justice, that seems a legitimate question to ask. Those gathering in protest, be it Ferguson, Planned Parenthood, immigration or a Supreme Court nominee, are not just exercising their First Amendment rights. They are a mob using bully tactics and bordering on the verge of...

Mr. Editor, what is your definition of foul language? Foul thinking? Foul ideas? What is it? And would you please print the difference between an internment camp and a concentration camp? I’m sure you know what it is.

As the eyes of the nation focus on the upcoming midterm elections, much of that intense focus falls on Missouri and the heated race between incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill and Attorney General Josh Hawley. I quit believing polls following the debacle in 2016 for good reason. Two polls currently making the rounds show Hawley in the lead in one poll while another has the race a dead heat. As I...

My milk could be ruining my health, as much as I love my milk, at my age and poor eye sight. When I open a jug of milk the tiny strips of plastic holding the two pieces of the cap together fall around the top of the jug and some fall inside the jug into the milk, which can’t be prevented. Drinking milk with tiny pieces of plastic in it cannot be good for my health, or anyone’s health. No more...

Sen. Claire McCaskill issued a statement indicating she was troubled by the sexual allegation made against Judge Kavanaugh. Was McCaskill troubled when Juanita Broaddrick stated Bill Clinton raped her; Paula Jones’ claims of Clinton exposing himself to her in a Little Rock, Ark., motel room; and Kathleen Willey’s charges of Clinton sexually assaulting her in the Oval Office? McCaskill must not...

Yes, I would like to know what is going on with the post office. You cannot get our mail. My mail was put out at 7 o’clock this morning. It’s 7 o’clock at night. It was never picked up out on Missouri and Presnell Drive. They want more money and we expect some service. I’m not able get up to the post office personally. I have to depend on them. So I was wondering if something could be done or...

Fifteen years ago, Beverly Baker gave me the opportunity to take over the Community Thanksgiving Dinner. I have never been sorry that I said yes or more proud that I could be the one whom she chose. Every year I thank God that I have the health and stamina to carry on. I am so blessed to have good volunteers to help; otherwise, I could never make it happen. Last year our numbers decreased from...

Why does it take a mail man on East Gladys to deliver the mail and sometimes it is 5 o’clock when we get the mail? Thank you.

Zaxby’s has the best salads you could ever eat. I suggest everyone try Zaxby’s salads. They are the best. Thank you.

An alarm is sounding in this country like never before in our history. The alarm is an alert to a sea of change of social, political and economic upheaval that is just over the horizon. All is not lost. But all is in danger. We remain a nation of laws and of rules. But increasingly, we are seeing that both the laws and the rules don’t apply equally. As of the writing of this column, we stand...

Plastic bags is my subject and I saw on the TV the other morning where they are going to stop making plastic bags. They didn’t give any details as to what they are going to replace the plastic bags with and I’d appreciate if you can find some more out for me about the plastic bags. Thank you for letting me speak out.

We suffer from a national madness that threatens the very foundation of this once-great nation. No example is more illustrative than the current insanity concerning the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. I once loved the political arena. Civil debate on differing views was a healthy process that long shaped our nation...

Sikeston DPS officers won’t wave back I am just calling to speak out about the Sikeston DPS. They are supposed to be friendly, protect and serve. I have ridden by at least eight officers and waved and not one of them has waved back. The police in Charleston, Mo., will take their time, they will sit and talk and they’ll laugh and they’ll joke. ...

Yes, I would like to speak out to that person who put this in the paper that Trump, our president of the United States of America, is ruining our country. Our country has been ruined now for the last eight to nine years because we had Mr. Obama in there, you understand that? President Trump has been ridiculed. He’s went in there and his family has been ridiculed. He has done no more than talking...

All too often, really important news stories get lost in the headlines of even more important stories. While the focus understandably is on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh this week, little notice is being given to the unseemly actions of former Secretary of State John Kerry...

Well I see the fake news, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post and many others. All these fake news outlets have been broadcasting day and night about Molly Tibbetts, the young college student in Iowa who was recently murdered. Now that they have discovered it was an illegal immigrant who murdered her, well they have actually shut down all their operations and left...
