Opinion

How bad is it when you wear out terms like nazi and fascist and so you have to fall back on using cult as your only means to explain why others disagree with your politics?

We print J. Basil Dannebohm’s column even though online trolls claim we only share one political view.

Mr. Dannebohm and I could not be more opposite in our views, and yet if you see this column on social media you’ll see some people with their usual tropes of how I regurgitate talking points.

GUEST COLUMN, Jackie Mundt, Kansas Farm Bureau

Good friends can have a good time no matter what they are doing together. That is how I ended up helping with a Yoga on the Farm event at Hildebrand Dairy near Junction City recently. The event was organized by CommonGround Kansas, an organization of farm women in Kansas who share information and personal stories about farming and the food they grow.

Yoga on the farm events have been around for years but this was my first time attended one. I was pretty impressed to see around 50 people show up on a hot June weekend to moo-ve through poses on a lush green lawn next to cattle grazing in a pasture. The cows didn’t make anyone too self-conscious because they only stared at the humans in the strange poses for a little while before they got back to snacking on the grass.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR, Reita Isaacs, Liberal

Good evening to all. I’m not always certain my opinion will be published in the right time-frame, so this quote by President John Adams (1735-1826) is appropriate at all times: “I am apt to believe that Independence Day will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival.”

Ms. Sheryl Martin Hall was called Sherry Hartshorn during the years she spent having fun and running around with my daughter, always a pleasure with no idea she would become an educated woman capable of spilling such vitriol. What a waste of time and energy promoting No Kings Day. Did you accomplish anything other than voicing your extreme resentment for President Trump  trying to rid our country illegals that are creating mayhem and murder all around our United States of America?

Many wrongly  think that the recent decision by the Supreme Court of the United States affected birthright citizenship. That argument may not be far away, but that was not the question the SCOTUS recently addressed. However, what they did address is very impactful and perhaps one of the defining decisions of the high court in recent memory.

Many may not feel the impact immediately, but the SCOTUS basically just made sure they were SCOTUS and every other court was not.
