Speak Out 7-25-24__Mail service__ Is the Post Office experimenting with dropping Saturday service? Our route in an older neighborhood in town wasn’t run. We know because we had mail out to pick up. Happens more than once.

Speak Out 7-22-24After J.D. Vance was officially named the vice president nominee of the Republican Party, the Biden administration said he lacked the experience for the job. What a statement coming from a party that has Kamala Harris as a vice president, three years in and she still has no experience because she has not done anything. Let’s not forget Barack Obama was a community organizer and then a first-term senator with no experience, but after eight years of his presidency, the United States had quite an experience, all of which was bad. Vote Trump-Vance and give the United States a chance. ...

Speak Out 7-17-24I am very disappointed in your article about the Southeast Missouri Swim Conference Summer Championships held in Cape Girardeau on Saturday, July 13, at the Cape Aquatic Center. I see the article focused on individual swimmers; however, in the text which addresses the team totals, you neglected to report the first-place winner of the medium-size team as River City Aquatics (RCA), the home team for the meet. ...

Speak Out 7-13-24__Cardinals season__ The St Louis Cardinal’s have been playing some exciting baseball the last month. The pitching has been the main reason for their turnaround and although I and others have been critical of Mozeliak, he did a good job putting together a veteran pitching staff. And the manager, although inexperienced, he has done a good job managing the relief pitchers. They all will benefit from the All-Star break, and Ryan Hensley deserves a lot of credit for saving many close games.

Speak Out 7-10-24__No more Obama__ We do NOT need four more years of Obama! He set the stage for the shape our country is in now and he has been running things for years while Biden continues to mentally decline. Having Michelle Obama in office would be the death of this country! The only thing she did while Barry was in office was screw up the public school lunch system! That gives her a lot of experience running this great country and standing up to communist countries. If this is the best the Democratic Party has, they are in BIG trouble!

Speak Out 6-29-24__Lexington roundabout__ The roundabout on Lexington Avenue has been taken over by weeds and waste-high grass. The city needs to keep this under control. It’s an eyesore and safety hazard. Other local roundabouts are kept up with landscaping rocks and flowers, but this one is regularly ignored. Please address.

Speak Out 6-22-24Capahas baseball I just noticed that the Capahas baseball team has shut down after 130 years. What a sad day for the locals. I played for Jess my last year after 13 years playing in the Bi-State League and that year the players we had would have beat up on anyone — and we did. ...

Speak Out 6-18-24__Missouri flowers__ News Flash! Native flowers from Missouri are weeds! __Biden fundraiser__ Biden has a fundraiser in California along with Hollywood snobs Clooney and Julia Roberts. That is the only way he can draw a crowd. Trump on the other hand will draw thousands in Detroit.

Speak Out 6-13-24It is beyond my comprehension that anyone, much less a Jackson city council person, would be so tone-deaf as to recommend a $325,000 roundabout statue after watching the citizens shut down the school administration for their past drunken sailor spending.

Speak Out 6-7-24__Pound of flesh__ Republicans couldn’t find any evidence of wrongdoing against Joe Biden so they’ve decided to exact their pound of flesh from his son and brother with criminal referrals. The things they do for Trump! __Prison__ The prison system is full of inmates who claim they’re innocent and were set up by someone out to get them. Trump will fit in nicely.

Speak Out 6-1-24No warning I’m puzzled why the tornado siren did not sound alarm Sunday morning in Benton on May 26 when multiple iPhones were giving warnings? System works Trump’s convictions on 34 counts proves that the justice system works. No one is above the law, not even Donald Trump.

Speak Out 5-31-24Summer baseball The Cape Catfish are back. Bring on summer, beer and good times! Bomb signature Nikki Haley inserting herself by writing messages on missiles/artillery shells in order to win political points is despicable and dangerous for the U.S. The photo of her will be used to rile up enemies of the U.S. for years.

Speak Out 5-30-24__Thanks for flags__ The flags put up by various groups around town are magnificent. Thank you to the patriots who do this each year. America appreciates you. __De Niro de nada__ What does the has-been actor Robert De Niro have in common with Joe Biden? They both have Trump derangement syndrome. With DeNiro as a spokesperson for Biden, Trump should win the election in a landslide.

Speak Out 5-29-24Metal detectors Fans have to go through metal detectors at Cardinals games, just like you would at an airport. I expect the same will be true for Show Me Center events in the future (thanks to a 20 year old thug with a gun). Tunes at Twilight Thank you to Old Town Cape, Mercy and the sponsors who make Tunes at Twilight possible. We love going. The jazz last weekend was exceptional...
