Kansas ain't no place like home

Original Article

One would think Kansas, of all places, would be a bastion of Normal American sanity. After all, it was to Kansas Dorothy and Toto returned when they left Oz. There’s no place like home. But that’s apparently not true of Lawrence, a town of just over 80,000 that voted overwhelmingly—67.5%--for Kamala Harris. Donald Trump won Kansas overall with 57.2% of the vote. Since taking office, Trump has been restoring the rule of law in a whirlwind of executive orders while requiring the DOJ, Department of Education—DOE—FBI and every other federal agency to—the horror—obey and enforce federal law.

Lawrence is a sore in the great state of Kansas. Johnson County, ( metro KC, has also gone down the tubes). Rural Kansas is still reliably conservative. Leave it to Lawrence to embarrass the rest of us.

Toto, Lawrence, KS is no place like home. My oldest brother used to be a conservative. Then he moved to Lawrence and took a high ranking job at the University of Kansas. He not so slowly drifted to the left. Now, he’s at best a RINO.

Kansans are politically schizophrenic. They continue to vote for extreme abortion laws (one of the few states it’s legal all 9 months) and vote Democrat for governor. I was born and raised in Kansas, most of mine and Mr pinkpanther’s family still live there. Mr Pinkpanther and I left the state for Texas in our 20’s and couldn’t be happier, zero regrets nor do we miss it.

Kansas Attorney General, Kris Kobach, a real conservative has asked the DoJ to investigate a few of the most leftist counties in Kansas, where the extremist school boards are still pushing this transgender insanity. I hope that DoJ slaps the crap out of these damned evil school boards.

Not just Lawrence, an extreme lefty college town. Also in Johnson County where I live. Shawnee Mission and Olathe school districts were cited by KS AG Kobach as having similar policies. Also, Kansas City, Kansas school district. Most of the rest of the state is pretty conservative, but in the KC area suburbs, the infection of coasties has twisted these counties incredibly in the last 25 years. We used to be reliably conservative, now are reliably leftist, I am very sad to say. A number of large corporations have moved big operations to Kansas suburbs of KC, and they brought in lots of left coast and NE Dems to work for them, and they have really changed the voting in the county. Cerner is one example, but there are many more. Big national companies, bringing in 'foreign' workers.....Americans, but leftists not from the midwest.

Was the FBI Behind the Oklahoma Bombing? 0 replies
Posted by DW626 8/19/2025 7:03:23 AM Post Reply
It has always been hard to believe that the truck-bombing of the A.P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, which killed 168 people, including 19 children at a daycare center, was planned by just one or two perpetrators acting alone. However, the official story states that the mastermind was Gulf War veteran Timothy McVeigh, and that the two others sentenced with him only helped him in various ways. Right from the start, warning signs indicated that the investigation was being misled. The FBI developed a story claiming that a group called the Patriots Movement, which included anti-government extremists and white supremacists, was responsible for the attack.

We all know that our universities are the very last place to go if you want a free and open discussion of ideas. Only approved progressive ideas are permitted, and don’t you forget it. Nothing new really. I’m reading 1491: New Revelations of the Americas before Columbus at the gym, and author Charles C. Mann is describing wars to the death fought by academics over the decades about various migration theories in the Americas and the all-important question of when modern humans first arrived here.

“Nothing is so necessary for a young man as the company of intelligent women.” ― Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace Margaret Brennan has a knack for reducing world-historical moments to the hysteria of a middle school recess spat. On yesterday’s Face the Nation, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio as the primary guest, Brennan trotted out her latest metaphor: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, she suggested, was dragging along European leaders to Washington so he wouldn’t get “bullied” into a bad peace deal by Donald Trump. Rubio wasn’t having it. “This is such a stupid media narrative,” he said plainly. Here’s the exchange, condensed: MARGARET BRENNAN: … You know there is concern from the Europeans

The Trump economy continues to improve, and crime is falling. Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin met to begin the process of winding down the war between Russia and Ukraine. Trump has also begun turning Washington back into a peaceful city where residents can walk to the Dairy Queen without fear of stray lead perforation. The entire nation should be, like me, enjoying a daytime cocktail (a Manhattan with orange bitters, risque!), and enjoying life, oui? Not quite. Sure, your typical flag-waving, liberty-loving Americans are having a hoot, but the more successful Trump — and America — become, the louder those meat-dodging, septum-pierced, blue-haired apparatchiks seem to screech

There’s no better example of how little faith Americans have that government officials will tell the truth than the public’s blasé reaction to UFO announcements. In the last ten years, The New York Times has run stories about secret Pentagon programs tasked with retrieving alien craft. Members of Congress have held hearings on “mysterious orbs” and invited government witnesses to testify about black budget projects supposedly reverse-engineering alien technology. Secretary of State Rubio and director of National Intelligence Gabbard have both suggested that the UFO issue is serious. Yet eight billion people around the world collectively shrug.

MSNBC’s Morning Joe is the lookouts on the Titanic: they see the iceberg but can’t do anything to alter the collision course. That’s the Democratic Party. I think most know their agenda sucks, but they hate Trump so much, or they’re bullied into taking these awful public policy positions, lest they risk having the wrath of the progressive Left bear down on them. The party is now defending crime. They’re booing law enforcement in D.C., who are trying to make the city safer. Due to rising crime, President Trump federalized the D.C. police force and deployed the National Guard. Co-host Mika Brezinski had the best line to describe

A newly declassified 2023 FBI FD-302 interview report from FBI director Kesh Patel reveals notes from a staffer who blew the whistle on Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.)’s alleged involvement in classified leaks during his tenure as ranking member of House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI). The whistleblower reported that during a 2017 meeting, Schiff instructed staff to leak classified information to the press to discredit President Trump and lay the groundwork for indictments. Schiff served as ranking member of HPSCI from January 3, 2015 to January 3, 2019. In January 2019, Schiff became chairman of the committee, holding that role until January 3, 2023.

Newly released FBI documents paint a damning picture of James Comey’s role in a coordinated intelligence operation against Donald Trump, an effort we know that Barack Obama ordered and that John Brennan, James Clapper, and a network of loyal operatives carried out. The “Arctic Haze” documents reveal that the FBI not only knew that sensitive information was leaking to the media, but it was also orchestrating the leaks. At the center of this effort was Columbia University law professor Daniel Richman, whom Comey personally arranged for the FBI to hire and grant top security clearance. Richman acted as Comey’s go-between with reporters, helping to shape the Russian collusion hoax

Harjinder Singh, who entered the country illegally and obtained a commercial driver’s license in California, has been charged with three counts of vehicular homicide in connection with Tuesday’s fatal crash, according to a news release from the Florida Dept. of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV). "This is a devastating tragedy made even worse by the fact that it was totally preventable," White House Spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital in an email.

The controversial life and shocking death of financial fixer and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein won a second of round of heavy media coverage after claims were made that Donald Trump knew Epstein. But Americans of all political stripes mostly agree on one thing: Epstein did not commit suicide, but was murdered, according to the latest I&I/TIPP Poll. The online national poll, taken by 1,362 adults, asked four questions total about Epstein’s controversial life. The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.7 percentage points. The first, and possibly most controversial, question asked: “Did Jeffrey Epstein die by suicide or was he murdered?”

It turns out many Americans aren’t great at identifying which personal decisions contribute most to climate change. A study recently published by the National Academy of Sciences found that when asked to rank actions, such as swapping a car that uses gasoline for an electric one, carpooling or reducing food waste, participants weren’t very accurate when assessing how much those actions contributed to climate change, which is caused mostly by the release of greenhouse gases that happen when fuels like gasoline, oil and coal are burned. “People over-assign impact to actually pretty low-impact actions such as recycling, and underestimate the actual carbon impact of behaviors much more carbon intensive,

Regardless of the subject or grade they teach, they'll have to show they know "the biological differences between females and males" and that they agree with the state's American history standards, which includes elements of a conspiracy theory that the Democratic Party stole the 2020 presidential election from President Donald Trump, which fact checkers have said are false.

President Trump claimed Sunday that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky could bring the nation’s war with Russia to a halt “almost immediately,” if he’s willing to make two major concessions. Trump called for Ukraine to drop its bid to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), a demand long held by Russia, and also said there would be “no getting back” Crimea – signaling to the nation to accept Russia’s illegal 2014 annexation of the region during the Obama administration. “President Zelenskyy of Ukraine can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight.
