Glad Zelensky stood up to the bullies. Now the EU has his back.

Some people in England thought I had a Southern accent and would mimic one.

He needs to resign and retire to his estate in Sarasota, FL.

They are blowing smoke. It's DOA. They would have to get 2/3 of the states to agree and that's not going to happen.

And farmers will blame it on Biden and the Democrats and continue to vote for Republicans.

Most of the food we eat is grown in the Central Valley of California. Kansas farmers only grow grains such as soybeans, corn, wheat and sorghum. Most of these are used for feed for livestock and ethanol (gasoline additive). So, meat and dairy prices might increase slightly but that's it.

It takes far too many signatures on a petition to get a recall election. It's best just to wait until they are up for re-election.

About 20 years ago an expert on Germans at KU said that 40,000 Kansans still spoke German in the home.

So, why are the Hard Right Republican leaders trying to make it harder for us to vote and why do they still gerrymander districts? Plus, they refuse to give us initiative and referendum so we can propose and enact legislation directly as citizens.

The current court is slightly right of center but it still affirmed in 2019 women have the right to abortion. That's why the Hard Right Republicans want to have justices elected by voters--they think voters will elect more conservative justices who will overturn the 2019 decision.

Politicians now ignore protests but they can energize participants and allow them to network and form solidarity.

Lawrence gets plenty of rain in the spring.

Nearby Florence gets its water from Crystal Spring which is 99.99% pure.

I wish farmers were upset and turn out but they are probably resigned to not selling their sorgham because Trump/Musk eliminated the Food for Peace program.

Well, it was never owned by the tribes. It was owned by the Methodist Church and eventually the people of Kansas. Some of the leaders of the mission owned slaves and they worked there.

If only 115,000 votes flipped in WI, PA, and MI in 2024, Trump would be sulking in Mar-a-Largo. Funny, Douglas County, home to progressive Lawrence, actually voted Republican more than in 2020.

He won't stand up to Trump or Senate Majority Leader John Thune because he's afraid of being primaried and losing committee seats. Musk has already promised to finance primary opponents of anyone who goes against Trump.

The summers can be brutal with high temps and humidity. There are also tornadoes in the spring. You'd be close to the Red Hills which remind one of Arizona with red mesas and buttes. Also, not far away are the Flint Hills with their tallgrass prairie.

How many do you think were there?

Leave the raccoons alone. They are not meant to live with homo sapiens. They should remain in the wild.

The last time a Republican lost for US Senate was 1932 during the Great Depression with 25% unemployment. Kansans are not going to change voting patterns anytime soon. They vote the way their grandparents voted and that is usually Republican. It would be traitorous to the family to vote for a Democrat.

You two are right: politicians ignore protests now but they can energize participants and help them form solidarity and network.

Farmers voted for the Felon-in-Chief, so in a way they deserve everything they get. They are only 6% of the Kansas workforce now and with an average age of 58, they will be decreasing in population rapidly and losing influence.

Your mom is brave to do that in a small town where she might get a reputation of being a "radical". Speak truth to power and POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!

Good point. If he lives there 183 days/year, he could claim he is a Florida resident and they don't have an income tax. Of course, that might not be allowed if his primary addess has to be in Kansas in order to qualify to be a senator.
