Speak out for 7/24/15
Earth's 2015 temperature looks like it may surpass 2014's as the hottest on record. Of course, that should in no way detract from our firm belief that global warming and/or climate change is a myth. Rush Limbaugh is advising Republicans not to be too rough on Donald Trump because they may have to support him in the future. I agree with Rush and would, in fact, urge the other Republican presidential contenders to drop out so as to present a united front while rallying around The Donald...
Myth buster?

Support The Donald
Rush Limbaugh is advising Republicans not to be too rough on Donald Trump because they may have to support him in the future. I agree with Rush and would, in fact, urge the other Republican presidential contenders to drop out so as to present a united front while rallying around The Donald.
Still rough
Yes, I'm at the intersection at Jackson where the train is. And it is so rough, you can't hardly keep your vehicle on the road when you go over it. Why can't the state fix this problem? I have back trouble and I can't even stand to drive over it. I almost have to stop. Why can't we get something like this fixed? It's been like this for years. Please, try to get the thing fixed.
Chatters
I especially enjoyed the article in the Good Times section of Sunday's paper by Darla Buchanan titled "Chaffee Chatters." Good work, girl. Keep it up.
Center Junction
Yes, I'd like to comment on the divided highway between Jackson and Cape at the interstate. It is in terrible shape and has been in terrible shape for two years, probably. Maybe even longer than that. Is Missouri so bad off that they cannot fix the roads? And why did they repave or re-asphalt Interstate 55, when there wasn't a thing wrong with it? Why didn't they put some of that asphalt down there on the divided highway, where they needed it? Can someone tell me what the problem is? Why can't we get this fixed?
Candidates Trumped
It is more than poetic justice that Fox News' rules for the first Republican presidential debate will allow the vacuous Donald Trump take center stage while more viable candidates are consigned to the sidelines. Isn't it great?

Morality, atheists
Many Americans have the mistaken belief that atheist are immoral. Most atheists are just as moral as Christians. A person's belief or disbelief in a god or gods has nothing to do with them being moral or not. A person's morals come from within them, not from any outside source.
Dobbins unretirement
How stupid can the leadership at SEMO be? Hiring Dobbins as a consultant is a horrible move and a waste of money. Get the good old boys out! We're tired of their games!
Good, bad, ugly
Gun-toting citizens are showing up at military recruiting centers around the country, saying they plan to protect recruiters following last week's killing of four Marines and a sailor in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Yes, the NRA and Republican legislators have just put us back about 200 years when anybody and everybody carried guns. We are now reliving the good, bad and ugly.
You know who
Who kisses the backside of his country's enemies, betrays his country's allies, and his oath to uphold the Constitution, and does everything he can to weaken and belittle his own country? Everyone with eyes and good sense knows the answer. Lord, give us the wisdom and courage to do right in November 2016. God bless America and Semper Fi!
Top heavy
No wonder SEMO keeps raising the tuition. They pay too much on the top end. They like to take care of all the top end and do nothing for the ones on the lower end. Seems to be a waste of money.
Bad blood
I assume other Speak Out callers share my concern and don't know what to do about the rift between Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj.
