Josh Hawley is trying to pass a do-not track act modeled after the national do-not call list, which is a joke. I opted out two years in-a-row for that one and I get more telemarketer calls now than I did before. Please Josh, check and see if that one works. It don’t.

Pop. Boom. Bang. Anyone inside the city limits of Sikeston have heard these noises near the Fourth of July despite the fact there is a ban on selling and shooting fireworks inside the city limits. According to Sikeston Department of Public Safety Director Mike Williams, DPS gets on average 100 calls a year about the illegal shooting of fireworks and many residents don’t even call to complain....

I’ve been seeing on TV they’ve been checking out nursing homes and finding they have poor quality service to their patients. They need to check them all out and not tell them when they are coming and just drop in and take care of it. Most of them don’t treat their patients good at all. Workers are just there for the money. Most of them just stand around and text and talk on their phones and...

To the Speakout caller who wondered if the Democrats and Congress know the Constitution – I’m sure they know it better than a yahoo like you. You’re too much of a winger to know any better.

To everyone who still has a father, don’t just wait for Father’s Day to give them a big hug and tell them you love them.

__Is there a consignment shop out there?__ If you have a nice consignment shop in Sikeston, please put your name and number in the Speakout column, or call 649-3634. Thank you.

I don’t understand how people can be so sick they can’t come to church but after church they go to town and all over the place shopping and stuff. If they are too sick to go to church it seems like they’d be too sick to run all over town. That just don’t sound right if your sick. If you’re going to go shopping and stuff you should go to church too. They may just be my opinion but I don’t know....

I cannot believe the women that are protesting abortion. They say that the government shouldn’t have anything to do with them having an abortion. One of these days they’re going to meet God and we will see what he says to them. Killing a baby is worse than killing a grown person. They can’t defend themselves. If you don’t want to get pregnant, keep your panties on or use birth control and don’t...

A simple stop to help a stranded driver turned into a scene from an action movie Sunday night, when a man opened fire on a state trooper just outside of Sikeston. It is just the latest in a long line of gun violence not only here but across the country...

It looks to me like, we’ve got to call this one distracted. Because this abortion thing just got slid in while everybody was distracted by the measles outbreak.

Hello Family, Good morning! I think it’s official now that summer is in full swing. During the summer, schedules can certainly get a little crazy, especially with lots of kids. But it can also be a good time to start reading your Bible again. For kids on a break, it can be a good time to get a new Bible reading routine started. ...

I was just watching the news and I was wondering if the Democrats in Congress in the United States anyway, knows the difference between Constitution and constipation? Thank you.

Yes, I would like say how proud I am of all these states that are going to send people to jail, especially the doctors. If they send the doctors to jail they should send the women who have the abortions too. The women want to control their bodies. Well, apparently they don’t know how to control them. They need to keep their panties up or take birth control for killing the innocent babies. If they...

__Thanks for the help__ Hello, I’m the caller who doesn’t have a phone book in Wednesday’s paper. I’m the new resident and I just wanted to call and thank you very much for being so helpful.

OK, here we go over here on Highway 80, junction BB. A tractor, pulling all kinds of stuff. There’s about nine vehicles in front of me. He is so large, he can barely fit his two wheels are in the ditch and he ain’t pullin’ over to let people pass. Now, this is a shame. And I’m sitting here going 15 miles per hour. My dad got a ticket for driving too slow on Highway 80 and everything. And now, oh...

I want to thank my good doctor, Mrs. Vicky Roberts, for getting me an appointment with the Cape cardiologists who only comes to Sikeston once a month. I also want to thank her good nurse, Chris Massey, for drawing me a sketch of the Sikeston hospital of where the Cape cardiologist is located and she even brought it over here to me. Thank you for letting me speak out.

I would just like to thank the city for cleaning up our street on South West. It was badly needed. I want to thank you very much.

I just wanted to say that I feel sorry for people that are so mean and vicious and trashy, that when they have an infant born in their family and only mention one of the grandparents. I don’t agree with it. I don’t think it is a good idea to use your children to beat people with for affection and I think it is pretty low of the person who does that. Hold a grudge over something their parents may...

Just for argument’s sake, let’s say a year from now, the Deep State culprits who sought to undermine the will of the people have been fully exposed. And the illegal attempt to engineer a Deep State coup has led to the doorsteps of some very high-ranking government officials—current and former...

Postal service needs changes The mayor from Parma fired all the city workers and hired a new crew. I wonder if that wouldn’t work for the postal department. It takes four days to get a letter from Sikeston to Gray Ridge. That’s 12 miles. Surely they could do better. Thank you...

These are not the best of times. These are the worst of times. Political partisanship has turned into political insanity unlike any in our nation’s history. We live in the most polarized and hyper-partisan times and nothing short of the future of this country is at stake...

Does anyone in town know where you can buy root beer popsicles?

A new poll says that 80% of Democrats, I mean socialists, voters say that climate change is their number one issue for the 2020 presidential election. Can you believe that? Climate change which was based on nothing more than false and misleading scientific information by the scientist who were swayed by means of false information that they based their principles on. And this is what the...
