Former President Donald Trump arrives at Trump Tower after being found guilty of 34 felony hush money charges by a New York jury.
Republicans cry foul,
say Trump verdict will
diminish public trust
BY DANE HICKS
THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
TOPEKA In what is likely
the most controversially debated and historic court action of
the American justice system, a
hostile court and jury convicted
former President Donald Trump
Thursday of 34 felony counts in an
indictment even some legal scholars say had no legal merit; a move
which has seen the former presidents rising popularity jump
even more against the slipping
poll numbers of his Democrat
rematch opponent incumbent Joe
Biden, and resulted in one-day
fundraising totals that also set
records.
Kansas Republicans expressed
dismay at the guilty verdict,
lodged on the basis of alleged
hush money payments to women
with whom he was alleged to have
had sexual trysts. But the fact
such payments are not against the
law required New York prosecutors to have to execute legal gymnastics to allege a felony which
most legal analysts have said is
a no-win option. Still, 12 New
York jurors drawn from an area
in which Trump is said to have
received only 6 percent of the 2020
vote convicted him.
Republicans in Kansas criticized both the charges and the
verdict, and expressed concern
that the episode would diminish
the standing of courts in the view
of much of the country.
While Republican officials
offered statements on the verdict,
Democrats however were greatly
mum on the development. Neither
Trump fundraising surges,
congressional candidates say
they need cash to help mission
the Kansas Democrat Party, nor
Governor Laura Kellys office nor
Democrats soul representative to
the U.S. Congress Sharice Davids
made any mention of the verdict
in their public social media posts
Thursday afternoon. Kellys office
did not respond to an email from
the Informer seeking comment.
Though it was crickets from
Democrats on this side of the
state line, Missouri Democrat
Congressman Emanuel Cleaver
from Kansas City ventured his
opinion.
Today is a victory for justice
and the rule of law, Cleaver
said. Just as every American
is entitled to the presumption of
innocence until proven guilty, we
are equally guaranteed that no
individual, including a former
president, is above accountabilty.
TOPEKA With the Trump verdict
unleashing a torrent of record-breaking
donations to his campaign since Thursday
afternoon, Kansans opposing the foibles of
the Biden administration may be looking
for the right avenues to support the former
president and the Kansas congressional
candidates they hope will help change the
nations governance for the better.
Trumps campaign raised more than
$50 million in 24 hours after the guilty
verdict was reached against him in a
highly controversial jury decision in New
York on Thursday. Campaign officials say
online and other collection points netted
some $52.8 million, more than $2 million
an hour, since the verdict was rendered.

THE ANDERSON COUNTY REVIEW
SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
KINCAID National Dairy Month
has been celebrated every June since
1937. According to the American
Dairy Association, this commemoration exists to encourage consumers
to drink more milk while introducing and promoting the nutritional
benefits of a range of dairy products.
On my familys farm, this month
is a time to recognize the labor and
rewards inherent in small-scale
dairy production.
My family and I have the privilege
of owning a backyard dairy operation near Kincaid, Kansas. Our operation was established in 2018 when
my parents Mike and Erika Billings
purchased our first Jersey heifers,
Pixie and Poppy, and kick-started
their years-long dedication to family milk production. They jumped
into the world of dairy farming with
both feet and remained committed
to its promise even as learning to
hand-milk two large and untrained
animals proved difficult.
The long and tumultuous process
was worthwhile. In time our heifers
became our pets as well as our providers. Over the last few years we
have raised and sold a handful of
Jersey and Jersey-cross heifers to
other hobby farmers looking to create their own dairy operations.
We practice calf-sharing, a method that allows calves to remain with
their mothers until they are weaned
at nine to ten months of age. This
gives us the freedom to take milking
breaks when necessary and family
vacations at our convenience.
For my parents, milking has
become a habitual process. They separate the calves from the cows in
the morning or evening depending
on when they will be available for
milking. After milking, the cow is
rejoined with her calf. Inside, the
milk is strained and cooled in our
freezer for increased safety and
improved taste.
Our cows have access to open pastures at all times and receive small
portions of grain at milking time. My
parents emphasis on naturalness
has kept our cows healthy and productive for several years longer than
cows at typical commercial dairies.

OVERLAND PARK One man will be
in Anderson County Court today and
another has been
extradited back to
Texas in connection
with the May 22 theft
of an ATM machine
from the Patriots
Bank location on
Maple Street in garnett.
Mosley
Cornelius
T.
Jeffers, 25 of Houston,
Texas, was remanded to Texas authorities on previous warrants in that state,
though charges were filed in Anderson
County in connection with the latest
incident as well.
Christopher Mosley, age unknown
and also believed to be from Texas, is
being held in the Anderson County Jail
and will face theft and criminal damage
to property non-person felony charges in
district court today.
A third individual was also arrested
with Jeffers and Mosley at an Overland
Park Walmart the afternoon of the heist,
though charges have not yet been filed
against that individual.
Investigators believe Jeffers and
Mosley stole a pickup truck in Garnett
and used it to dislodge and transport
the ATM before spiriting it away and
removing its cash container. Franklin
County officers spotted a vehicle heading into the Ottawa area at a high rate
of speed and shortly broke off the pursuit due to the possibility of injury.
Lawrence Police later recovered one of
the vehicles at an East Lawrence convenience store before the trio were arrested in Overland Park a few hours later.
Charges include felony theft and
vehicular burglary. Mosley is being held
in the Anderson County Jail in lieu of
$150,000 bond.

Lynette Prasko and Ila
Klaus sang an Irish poem set
to music, "Be Thou My Vision,"
accompanied by Ben and Ethan
Prasko and Mike and Elka
Billings. They also sang "Holy
Water," "O,God," and "Take My

Brant McGhee's communion meditation explained that
memorials were what prevented God's people from forgetting
about Him. Communion is the
ultimate precious memorial in
which Jesus tells us in Luke
22:19 to do in remembrance of
Him.
Guest speaker Ben Prasko
talked about the traditions
and history of Bible translations including the Septuagint,
the Latin Vulgate, Wycliffe,
Tyndale, King James and many
more recent translations. The
New International Version is
the best selling translation.
The first Bible to use a numbering system for verses was
the Geneva Bible, and Scoffield
became a popular study Bible.

He became
Hermreck
a man at the
young age of
16 when his dad passed away
suddenly and he stayed on the
family farm to help care for his
young sister, Louann and his
mother until they moved to
town.
On July 11th, 1959 he was
united in marriage to Daisy

At a very young age, he was
a hard-working man until the
day he learned of his illness.
He operated several gas stations including Garnett and
Richmond Phillips 66. He
entered the bus business at
Central Heights and then later
bought the buses in Garnett.
He found he had a skill for
carpentry while building the
Richmond Nursing Home
which led to many new homes
in the surrounding area. He
had a great work ethic and was
highly respected for a job well
done, at a fair price. He was
known for his ability to spread
a load of gravel like a blanket.
His ease of operating a skid
loader and backhoe was an art.
He was known for being a man
of his word and the fastest man
to deliver. He took great pride
in his work and his promptness.
Gene did not know a strang-

OBITUARIES
FROM PAGE 1
Today, a jury of American citizens and Donald Trumps peers
reaffirmed those foundational
principles.
I hope that my fellow
Americans will take this
moment to reflect deeply on the
road we walked to reach this
point and which direction we
want to take moving forward,
the Kansas City Democrat said.
The verdict is widely viewed
as the culmination of the ongoing weaponization of the justice system in a multi-faceted
assault against the former president, the presumptive nominee for the 2024 Republican
presidential ticket, by an array
of foes including progressives
in state court systems, the
Department of Justice and Big
Tech platforms like Facebook
and Google as well as mainstream media. Multiple civil
and criminal suits based on
flimsy and sometimes literally non-existent evidence have
been launched against Trump
as the 2024 election neared,
while similar allegations
against President Joe Biden
influence peddling for cash as
vice-president, mishandling
of classified documents, sexual assault allegations have
been ignored by investigators.
Biden has continually branded
extremist followers of Trump
as the nations number one
threat, even as the U.S. economy has been wracked by inflation, millions of illegal immigrants flooded the country and
two wars ignited under Bidens
watch in two separate world
theaters. While pretending no

the hush money trial, Bidens
campaign sent actor Robert
DeNiro to the New York courthouse last week to chastise
Trump supporters gathered
there.
Though
prominent
Democrats in the Sunflower
State were muted, Kansas
Republicans had plenty to say.
It is a dark day for our country, said Kansas Republican
Party Chairman Mike Brown.
A New York judge has made a
mockery of our justice system
leading an already biased jury
to an absurd ruling. I am confident this verdict will be overturned on appeal. What I am
not confident of is our ability
to repair the damage inflicted
on the reputation of the justice
system of the United States of
America.
Presidential meddling in
U.S. court cases like that of the
Biden Administration against
Trump seldom goes without
controversy, as the 1970 trial
of Charles Manson experienced when President Nixon
passed public judgement on the
California accused murderer.
Politically charged, partisan NY prosecutors just
performed the biggest sham
in the history of Americas
judicial system, 1st District
Congressman Tracey Man posted to Facebook.
This trial was never about
justiceit was about weaponizing our judicial system to
keep President Bidens leading opponent off the campaign
trail and in a courtroom away
from voters. Americans are not
fooled by this overly political
ruling. I am looking forward to
President Trumps appeal.
Minutes after the verdict
You will only find yourself
fighting against God
In the 5th chapter of Acts
we read how the apostles were
persecuted by the Sadducees,
a religious sect who opposed
Jesus during his ministry and
were known for their denial of
the bodily resurrection. Since
the resurrection the apostles
had been standing in the temple courts telling the people
the full message of this new
life. (5:20) The high priest and
his associates as well as the
Sadducees were filled with
jealously. It was at this time
that they arrested the apostles
and put them in jail, only to
find them released by an angel
of the Lord the next morning.
When the apostles were brought
before the Sanhedrin a second
time Peter and the apostles
reply to the charge was, We,
(the apostles) must obey God
rather than men.(5:29b) When
the Sadducees heard this they
were furious and wanted the
apostles put to death.
In an effort to calm the situation Gamaliel, a teacher of
the law who was well respected by all the people stood and
requested the disciples be put
outside the room. He then
explained to the Men of Israel
to consider carefully what they
intended to do to the apostles.
Gamaliel then reminded them
that Theudas and Judas the
Galilean were two men who
had appeared and led a band
of people in revolt. Both men
were killed and their followers
soon were scattered. Gamaliels
advise to the ruling council was
to, Leave these men alone! Let

donation page crashed, apparently overloaded with those
seeking to donate to the former
president Trump campaign
co-manager Chris LaCivita
urged supporters to log back
on and try again if they
received an error message,
according to coverage in The
Hill.
Kansas Fourt District
Congressman Ron Estes said
the finding in the trial as well
as its motivations were transparent.
Most Americans can see
through the politically motivated trial against President
Trump, and they know that
a prosecutor who ran specifically against the former president, a judge with a heavy
anti-Trump bias, and a highly
partisan venue could not produce a fair outcome, Estes
said. Whether someone supports or opposes President
Trump or his policies, the verdict today paints a sad state of
affairs in this great nation, and
the relentless attacks against
President Trump for political
gain are only further dividing
the country and sowing doubt
about our federal institutions.
Candidate for 2nd District
Congressman Derek Schmidt
said he was confident the verdict would be overturned on
appeal.
Show me the man Ill show
you the crime was coined by
Stalins Soviet Union and that
mindset sadly lives on today
in New York City, Schmidt
said. But without waiting for
appeal, the American people
should enter their own verdict.
No contrived prosecution can

them go! For if their purpose is
of human origin, it will fail. But
if it is from God, you will not be
able to stop these men; you will
only find yourselves fighting
against God.
We live in the biblical
age referred to as the age of
Grace, which will exist until
the second coming of Christ. It
is a time when one either lives
to please God or lives fighting
against God. A no decision on
the matter is not possible and
leaves you in the latter group.
In the book of Jeremiah written in approximately 600 B.C.
God reveals his plan for man.
For I (God) know the plans
I have for you declares the
LORD, plans to prosper you
and not to harm you, plans to
give you hope and a future.
(29:11) If your plans are based
on human origin they will fail.
All the religious sects of Israel
ultimately failed and are forgotten. But if your plans are of
God they will succeed. What the
apostles started will never be
stopped. Christianity, although
persecuted and maligned will
remain till we see Christ return
in his second coming.

OPINION
Youre going to love Trumps revenge
Amid the whole corrupt Keystone Cops show
trial conviction of Donald Trump last week in
a New York courtroom is the preponderance of
data at this point that indeed, Trump will have
his revenge and it will start with being elected
the 47th president of the United States.
As president- again- Trumps revenge wont
target the likes of Judge Juan Merchan or prosecutor Alvin Bragg or any of the other legions
of terrified deep state lackeys or prosecutors or
judges who see Trump and his movement as a
threat to their progressive socialist ambitions
and have blatantly conscripted the American
legal system to do their bidding against him.
Trumps day of reckoning wont even be employed
against the toddering, muddled geriatric whos
now puppeteered
as the U.S. president by a handful
of social zealots
in his administration whove
used him to make
a debacle of our
Republic.
Trumps recompence will be
more enveloping
and universal
and will translate to a win for
the country and
a personal exaltation for himself.
It will come down
to one simple term: Success. Because living well
is the best revenge.
All but one element of the disastrous national
landscape which Biden and Democrats have
created will be easy for Trump to solve, particularly since he solved these issues during the
first three years of his previous presidency.
It wont be immediate because of the depth of
Bidens despondent decline, but the answers are
all there and apparent.
Removing Bidens choke chain from the U.S.
oil and gas industry will put the country back
on track to be energy self-sufficient, a position
the nation held under Trump until Biden began
dismantling oil and gas production and its prospects on day one of his administration. The
benefits for the country wont be seen just in
lower gasoline prices although that will be the
most generally apparent; the benefits will also
circulate within the sphere of National Security,
the consumer economy and general industrial
might. It took only a few years under Trumps
previous policies to develop a U.S. energy sector
It will come down
to one simple term:
Success.
Because living well
is the best revenge.
REVIEW COMMENTARY
DANE HICKS, Publisher
which for the first time in decades became an
exporter of energy. The template for that success
is already in place.
The U.S. southern border is another proven
success which was buried by Bidens intent to
flood the nation with eventual Democrat voters.
Unshackling U.S. Border Patrol and returning it
to a security force instead of the Walmart greeters of an international invasion will be the first
step to border security. Finishing the border
wall which Trump failed to complete in his first
effort will be the next.
Disinfecting the U.S. Military of woke silliness will be another major accomplishment
which will revive military success for the country. The Biden administrations moronic priority that the countrys military should be more
concerned with imaginary equity than with
lethality has destroyed morale among the warrior class and diluted the interest of potential
soldiers as reflected in failed recruiting quotas.
Cleansing the military services of this forlorn
focus on race, DEI, preferred pronouns and the
ills of whiteness and re-prioritizing it to the
killing of bad guys will be as simple as the right
appointment to Secretary of Defense.
The one lingering poison that will be hardest
to rectify will be the inflationary fire Biden
and his unhinged Covid-cloaked spending has
fueled. The country is going to realize why curtailing inflation has been such a national priority regardless of party administrations for the
past 40 years and why it is so important to keep
interest rates low and consumer prices competitive. Easing the money supply while encouraging competition will be key and reduced
energy prices under a drill baby drill energy
policy will have immense impact as well.
The sweet nectar of Trumps revenge will be
to Make American Great Again. ###

Trump verdict denotes unhinged campaign of retribution
On Thursday night, in a historic breach of
all historical norms, in a move that puts the
Republic on the precipice of serious constitutional disorder, chaos, and disaster, a jury in
New York unanimously found Donald Trump
guilty of 34 separate felonies, all stemming
from hush money payments that were made to
Stormy Daniels all the way back in 2016.
The legal case is an atrocity. Its a ridiculous
case a political put-up job by Manhattan D.A.
Alvin Bragg, who came into office pledging to
get Trump.
Not pledging to find his criminal behavior that was actually criminal. Pledging to get
Trump under any circumstances.
That, of course, mirrored the language of
attorney General Letitia James, who was elected
to her position in the state of New York on the
basis of getting Donald Trump. The trial was
a put-up job by the judge, Juan Merchan, who
clearly wants Trump behind bars, which is why
I believe he is probably going to send him to jail
in July.
This was a put-up job by the Biden administration, who has been attempting to brand
Trump a criminal and a felon since the day they
got into office. Not to mention the Democratic
Party, which has been attempting to label him
everything from a Putin Cats Paw to a traitor to
the country since 2015.
President Trump responded precisely the
way you would think he would, with absolute
sheer outrage. That was absolutely appropriate.
He stated:
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
BEN SHAPIRO, THE DAILY WIRE
This was a disgrace. This was a rigged trial by
a conflicted judge who was corrupt. Its a rigged
trial, a disgrace. They wouldnt give us a venue
change. We were at 5% or 6% in this district, in
this area. This was a rigged, disgraceful trial.
The real verdict is going to be November 5 by the
people. And they know what happened here. And
everybody knows what happened here.
You have a Soros-backed D.A. and the whole
thing, we didnt do anything wrong. Im a very
innocent man. And its okay, Im fighting for our
country. Im fighting for our Constitution. Our
whole country is being rigged right now. This
was done by the Biden administration in order to
wound or hurt an opponent, a political opponent.
And I think its just a disgrace. And well keep
fighting. Well fight till the end, and well win.
Todd Blanche, one of Trumps attorneys,
said, The timing of this most recent grand jury,
meaning the 2023 grand jury that ultimately
indicted President Trump, kicked into action
less than two months after President Trump
announced hes running for reelection. And
there are coincidences and then theres coincidences and I dont think thats something that
just happened.
Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan D.A. who
brought this case, spoke after the guilty verdict
was delivered in a Manhattan courtroom that
was stacked from the start, saying, While this
defendant may be unlike any other in American
history, we arrived at this trial and ultimately
today at this verdict in the same manner as
every other case that comes to the courtroom
doors by following the facts and the law in
doing so, without fear or favor.
That is an extraordinary lie. Theres never
been a case like this, where they used a novel
legal theory specifically to get Trump before the
election.
When Democrats say that all they want is the
law followed without fear or favor, its weird
how they were perfectly fine with James Comey
letting Hillary Clinton off the hook for obvious
criminal conduct in 2016 with the excuse that
she was running for president.
They dont want election interference, but
SEE SHAPIRO ON PAGE 11
Perplexed Democrats ask: Whats wrong with People Of Color?
The progressive journalist Thomas Frank
wrote a much-discussed book in 2004 titled,
Whats the Matter with Kansas? Right now,
some other like-minded journalist might be
thinking of writing a book called Whats the
Matter with People of Color?
For Democrats, the presidential polling
among Latinos and African Americans ranges
from concerning to extremely disturbing, as
President Joe Biden sheds support to Donald
Trump. The Republican was so bold as to hold
a campaign rally that drew thousands in the
South Bronx, a heavily Hispanic and Black area
where Republicans may be rumored to exist but
are rarely actually seen.
A New York Times poll in March had Trump
beating Biden among Hispanic voters 46-40,
while a Wall Street Journal poll last month
found that 30% of African-American males say
they are definitely or probably going to vote for
Trump. Other surveys show less stark results,
but something is going on, especially with
Hispanic voters.
If nothing else, we are seeing the foolhardiness of Democrats believing that all minorities
— with a dizzying array of national backgrounds
and socioeconomic and demographic characteristics — could be lumped together as people of
color and corralled into the Democratic coalition with woke political appeals. That might
work on college campuses; it doesnt work in the
rest of the country.
The problem for Biden is that Hispanics are
too much like the rest of America. In Cygnal
polling, 69% of Americans say the country is
on the wrong track, and 72% of Hispanics think
the same. Hispanics care about the economy
as much as — in fact, more than — anyone else.
Whereas 30% of the country says inflation and
NATIONAL COMMENTARY
RICH LOWRY, King Features Syndicate
the economy is the top issue, 42% of Hispanics
say it is.
All of this means that only 37% of Hispanics
view Biden favorably, essentially the same percentage as among whites.
Changing Hispanic attitudes toward immigration is a big part of the picture. A CBS poll
in Arizona found that 52% of all voters think
recent immigrants have made life worse. What
outrageous xenophobia, you say? Well, 40% of
Hispanic voters think theyve made life worse,
too (a slim plurality, 42%, say theyve made it
better).
While the Left thought that Hispanics would
enjoy getting called Latinx and seamlessly fit
into its victim-industrial-complex, Trump the
blue-collar billionaire probably has more in
common with the average Latino working-class
male than any member of the (exclusively
Democratic) Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
The division of the electorate among class
lines, long evident among whites, now appears
to be showing up among Hispanics. Ruy
Teixeira of the American Enterprise Institute
cites a YouGov poll that found Biden leading
by 1 point among working-class Hispanics and
39 points among college-educated Hispanics.
Working-class Hispanics tend to be more moderate or conservative than their college-educated
counterparts and are more pessimistic about
the economy and concerned about inflation. As
Teixeira notes, about 78% of Hispanic voters
are working class, and even higher percentages
in Arizona and Nevada, states where Trump is
leading.
There appears to be a trend among Hispanic
voters. Hillary Clinton won them by nearly 40
points in 2016, while Biden carried them by 23
points in 2020 and could go lower this year. The
move among Black voters is more provisional
and less pronounced, but still real and obviously worrying to Democrats given their investment in advertising directed at these voters and
Bidens recent fevered commencement address
at Morehouse College.
Its best to think of the Latino and Black voters telling pollsters that they support Trump as
very much potential voters — Trump will have to
continue to make his case, and the Republican
National Committee find ways to reach them
and turn them out. But, as the Republican political analyst Patrick Ruffini points out, if culturally conservative non-whites break away from
the Democratic coalition it would be a boon for
the GOP.
Whats wrong with people of color? This
year they could prove too politically independent-minded.
Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.

Maybe this is the wrong time to ask this but there is no gate in
the new fence on the Legion Field over on the west side facing
the fairgrounds. All of those people are going to have to I guess
walk up to the dugout to get to the merchants tent and the other
activities to go out there as well as the civic groups that park
back in there and load their cookers and everything back and
forth across that fence. Thats going to be an awful lot of extra
work for those folks. Some of them may just as well go home. You
need to put a gate in that fence. Thank you.

A lack of interest forced
the USD 365 School Board to
scrap plans for an activity bus
next year. Superintendent Ken
Woods told board members
when they met on June 2 that
only ten students had signed
up for the bus service and were
spread all over the district.
Board members had completed
cost projections at the previ-
ous meeting. They found that
even if students were required
to pay $60 per season to ride
the bus home from practice,
about 100 students per season
would be needed to make the
service financially feasible.
Bill Feuerborn has been chosen by the area Democratic

A Topeka group will breathe
life back into a nostalgic part
of Garnetts history. Garnett
leaders are teaming up with the
Kansas Region Sports Car Club
of America to stage an event
commemorating the Lake
Garnett Grand Prix races of
the 1960s. City Commissioners
approved using the North
Lake for the location of the
50th Anniversary celebrations.
Garnetts Grand Prix races
were held in the late 1950s and
1960s. They were part of the
national Grand Prix circuit
races and were one of the prime
battlegrounds of the early days
between racing-legged Ford
Shelby Cobras and Chevrolet
Corvettes. The local airport
recently received some $88,000
to perform a comprehensive
study. Garnett applied for federal assistance for the airport
in 1993, but at the time, the
FAA prioritized funding the
larger traffic airports instead..

Efforts to remove junk and

Democrat activists took over the New York DAs office years
later, they used that to falsely claim the central part 5 were
innocent and rewarded them with millions of taxpayer dollars.
And Netflix sponsoring a fictitious show full of lies that defamed
the female prosecutor who is now suing. Now Democrats are
attacking Trump for having expressed outrage when that attack
occurred, while the truth has been buried by the Democrat media
and big tech.
I just wonder if you are the same people that call in each week
and whine and whine about politics? When Jesus comes riding
on his great white horse to put an end to all evil, it isnt going
to matter if you are a Democrat or a Republican. You have been
warned and warned by different pastors. Just give it up and try
and save your souls because the end of the world is going to be
coming soon. Prophecy is being fulfilled. Please, please, think
about your souls rather than your politics or whos going to get
president. Its not going to matter. Thank you.

breathing room in their half
of the fifth inning picking up 4

course of two days at the State
Championships, we witnessed
some of the greatest performances, not only in Central
Heights history, but in the
entire history of the 2A State
meet. On Friday night, Connor
(Burkdoll) and Owen (Miller)
both put their all into the 3200
and both came away with the
best of their lives.
Connors 9:39.71 lowered his
school record and earned him a
State Runner-Up finish.
His work ethic has been
tireless and from the start, I
knew he would put down a
great time. By far the sweetest
part was watching him chase
down the 2023 State champ and
pull away in dominating fashion over the last 500m.
Miller has overcome a
break in his foot, adding to the
impressive feat.
Owen (Miller) lowered his
own personal record by over
seven seconds to 10:02.50 to
place 10th overall and also battled a few runners to the finish.
Coach Prosser said Miller
did this after only about a
month of running due to breaking his foot during the second
week of the season running on
their track.
A frustrated Prosser added,
This happened on one of the
many terrible spots on our
track. The surface has contributed to numerous injuries
piling up for our athletes for
years and it makes training
incredibly challenging.
Saturday got off to a great
start for the Vikings in favorable weather conditions when
the girls 4×800 ran a 19 second season best to finish 13th
place.
Emma(Cubit) gave us a
very strong first leg, Melaney
(Chrisjohn) followed that
up with one of her own and
Addy (Ouellette) and Arabella
(Dunbar) held our position for
the rest of the race, Prosser
stated.
It really took everything
they had and to knock that
much off at the State meet
means they are gamers.
Chrisjohn did double duty
this spring as a dual sport athlete as she is on the softball
team as well. Ouellette and
Dunbar took on roles in events
they didnt naturally gravitate
toward.
Prosser said, They didnt
get to run together a lot throughout the season but despite that,
they came out with all smiles
and a memory of being at the
largest high school track meet
in the nation.
The biggest moment of the
meet for the Vikings was the
boys 4×800. Coming in with
a season best of 8:14.33, the
splits Coach Prosser had seen
throughout the season knew
they added up to something
much better than that but they
hadnt put it all together yet.
But they did save the best for
the biggest stage!
In as little as the first 300
meters, I could already tell we
had the race won but what happened on Connors second lap
brought a few other possibilities into play, Prosser said.
Bulldogs Clark finishes
7th at state in triple jump
WICHITA – Trey Clark led
the ACHS athletes at the state
competition in Wichita on May
24th and 25th as he finished
7th in the triple jump with a
distance of 42 6.75.
Other boys competing
were Christian Barnett as
he finished 12th in the high
jump, clearing 510, Easton
Wettstein finished 9th in the
2x5and
review
prelims of the 300 meter hurdles (42.12) and 11th in the prelims of the 110 meter hurdles
(15.78).
The AC girls were led by
Jordan Miller 10th place finish
in the 100 meter hurdles preliminaries with a time of 16.03.
Madilyn Reichard finished
15th in the long jump with a
distance of 14 11.
The school record of 8:02.86
from 2002 had been described
to Coach Prosser as untouchable for several years and it
even stood at the 3A State meet
record until it was topped in
2022.
When Connor handed
off at about two minutes flat
and Owen powered through
to a 2:05 we had a chance to
take that record down. It was
Christians sub 2:01 that gave
us a shot at the school record
but also the 2A record held by
Olpe and hadnt been remotely threatened. Having Cody on
the anchor leg is almost unfair
to anyone we compete against
but we had such a huge lead at
that point and three legs running all alone that his 1:53.41
anchor split helped set a new
school record time of 8:00.20
and a new State meet record
by nearly a full second, said
Prosser.
That was the 5th fastest
time in all classes 1A-6A and
won class 2A by nearly 23
seconds. What this group of
boys have done this year, following up a record shattering
State Championship in Cross
Country, is something that
will be talked about for years
around Central Heights.
I almost have to laugh
too because they are all only
juniors and are not getting
remotely satisfied with their
accomplishments. Proud is not
a good enough word to describe
how I feel about these boys.
I push them hard but they
respond to everything thrown
at them and they are all family to me at this point, said
Prosser.
In the 1600 meter run, Emma
Cubit finished off her high
school running career with a
9th place finish and a personal
record.
She really only had the last
six weeks of the season to train
after fighting through several
setbacks for the previous five
months but if there is anyone
I knew would give it her all
to make something great happen, its Emma. She has been
the standard bearer for female
athletics at Central Heights for
the past seven years, has put
her name in the record books
and will go on to bigger and
better things as an athlete, as a
professional, and as a person,
a very proud Prosser said.
Hammond and Burkdoll had
their coach a little worried in
the boys 1600 meter run.
They didnt get a good push
from the gun and lingered in
the back of the field for most of
the first three laps and hadnt
quite cracked the top 10 until
they stormed through the field
and picked off enough runners
to finish 3rd and 4th respectively. Cody already holds the
school record in the race and
didnt quite have that in him
but Connor was able to knock
three more seconds off of his
own personal record. It was
great to see both of them near
the top of the standings in a
race that neither one of them
specialized in and really didnt
train for this season. It just
goes to show how ridiculously
talented they are.
In the finale of the season for
us Hammond and McCord took
out in one of the most stacked
800 meter fields class 2A has
ever seen. At this point, the
heat of the day had melted the
crown and it was incredibly
hard to find any relief from it
all. Despite running on what
was clearly tired legs from both
boys, Hammond was still able
to comfortably repeat as State
Runner-up and McCord turned
in his fourth fastest open time
to take 11th.
I know the goals were higher but sometimes things dont
quite work out as planned and
the optimal conditions evaporated as the day went on, their
coach said.
Prosser concluded, At the
end of the day and at the end
of the season, we were able to
qualify a solid group of girls,
they performed at their best
of the season and you simply
cant ask for more than that.
The foursome of Connor, Cody,
Owen and Christian rewrote
nine school records, set a new
State Meet record and closed
out the 2023-24 school year
knowing they have one more
year full of experiences ahead
of them. We do everything we
can to make all of the patrons
of peers of Central Heights
proud of our program and we
hope they appreciate this while
it lasts.

operating a Distribution System in the State of

of twenty (20) years from the Effective Date,

said natural gas, and/or comparable blends of
combustible gasses, from any source available;
and to do all things necessary or proper to carry

B. The grant of this Franchise by the City

occupy the Public Way for the purposes and for
the period stated in this Franchise Ordinance.
This Franchise Ordinance does not:
(1) Grant the right to use facilities or any
other property, natural gas-related or otherwise,

SECTION 3. FRANCHISE FEE.
A. As further consideration for the granting
of this Franchise, and in lieu of city occupation,

as expressly provided herein, the Company
shall pay to the City during the term of this
Franchise, a Franchise Fee of: (i) four percent
(4%) of the actual Gross Cash Receipts collected by the Company from the Distribution of

corporate limits of the City, all such payments
to be made monthly for the preceding monthly
period.
B. The Companys obligation for payments
of the Franchise Fee shall commence with the
first cycle of the monthly billing cycle following
the Effective Date of this Franchise Ordinance.
Prior to that date, payments shall continue to be
calculated and be paid in the manner previously
provided in Ordinance No. 393_, and amendments thereto.
C. In the event a Consumer of Company
does not pay a monthly bill from Company in
full, Company shall prorate its payments of
remissions to the City for sums due on that particular bill so that the amount actually paid by
the Consumer to Company on the bill is distributed to Company for the natural gas commodity
and transportation or distribution service and to
the City for sums due on the bill in proportion
to the percentage of the total bill actually paid
by the Consumer. In the event Company actually collects any outstanding amounts due on a
past due, unpaid, or partially paid monthly bill

proportionate share of sums due to the City on
such bill.
D. Upon written request by the City (but
no more than once per quarter), the Company
shall submit to the City a certified statement
showing the manner in which the Franchise
Fee was calculated. The City shall have the
right to examine within the corporate limits of
the City and during regular business hours,
upon reasonable advance written notice to the
Company, all books, papers and records kept
by the Company in the ordinary course of business and pertaining to its business carried on
by it in or through the City, necessary to verify
the correctness of the Franchise Fee paid by
Company.
E. No acceptance by the City of any
Franchise Fee shall be construed as an accord
that the amount paid is in fact the correct
amount, nor shall acceptance of any Franchise
Fee payment be construed as a release of
any claim of the City. Any dispute concerning
the amount due under this Section shall be
resolved in the manner set forth in K.S.A.
12-2001, and amendments thereto.
F. The Franchise Fee required herein shall
be in lieu of all taxes, charges, assessments,
licenses, fees, and impositions otherwise applicable that are or may be imposed by the City
under K.S.A. 12-2001, K.S.A. 17-1902, and
amendments thereto. From and after the
date hereof, the permit fees required of the
Company by any ordinance (presently in effect
or hereafter adopted) for a permit to excavate
in, or adjacent to, any Public Way shall be
deemed a part of the compensation paid pursuant to this Franchise Ordinance and shall not be
separately assessed or collected by the City; in
no event, however, shall this provision be interpreted to waive the requirement of notice to the
City and the procedural requirements of such
ordinance. The Franchise Fee is compensation
for use of the Public Way.
SECTION 4. USE OF PUBLIC RIGHT-OFWAY.
A. Except as provided herein or as regulated by state or federal law, the use of any Public
Way under this Franchise by the Company
shall be subject to all laws, statutes, regulations
and/or city policies (including, but not limited to
those relating to the construction and use of
the Public Way or other public property) now
or hereafter adopted or promulgated. Unless
specifically provided, herein, the Company shall
be subject to all rules, regulations and policies
now or hereafter adopted or promulgated by the
City relating to permits, sidewalk and pavement
cuts, utility location, construction coordination,
and other requirements on the use of a Public
Way; provided however, that nothing contained
herein shall constitute a waiver of or be construed as waiving the right of the Company to
oppose, challenge, or seek judicial review of,
in such manner as is now or may hereafter be
provided by law, any such rules, regulation, or
policy proposed, adopted, or promulgated by
the City and, further provided other than the
items enumerated in this Section 4 herein,
that such rules, regulations or policies shall
not require the payment of additional fees or
additional costs for the use of a Public Way.
B. All mains, services, and pipe which shall
be laid or installed under this Franchise shall
be so located and laid as not to obstruct or
interfere with any water pipes, drains, sewers,
or other structures already installed. The
Company shall provide, prior to commencing
work, information to the City concerning work to
be performed in the streets, avenues, bridges,
parking areas, and public places of the City,
as the City may from time to time require for
purposes of record keeping. The City may
require that the information be provided on
its standard permit form, but without requiring
approval, consent, or fees. In the event of an
emergency, the Company shall have the right
to commence work without having first provided
such information or form(s).
C. The Companys use of any Public Way
shall always be subject and subordinate to
the Citys use of the Public Way for any public
purpose. The City may exercise its home rule
powers in its administration and regulation
related to the management of the Public Way;
provided that any such exercise must be competitively neutral and may not be unreasonable
or discriminatory, nor in conflict with state or
federal law.
D. The City reserves the right to lay or
permit to be laid cables, electric conduits,
water, sewer, gas, or other pipelines and to
do or permit to be done any underground
work deemed necessary and proper by the
City, along, across, over, or under any Public
Way. In permitting such work to be done, the
City shall not be liable to the Company for any
damage to the Companys Facilities unless the
City or its agents or contractors are negligent in
causing said damage.
E. Whenever by reason of establishing a
grade or changing the grade of any street, or
the location or manner of construction of any
Public Way, the City deems it necessary to
alter, change, adapt, or conform any portion of
the Companys Facilities located in the Public
Way, the City shall provide reasonable notice
and such alterations or changes shall be made
within a reasonable time by the Company,
as ordered in writing by the City, without
claim for reimbursement or compensation for
damages against the City; provided, however,
that this provision is not intended to require
the Company to alter, change, adapt, or conform any portion of its Facilities without reimbursement or compensation where the right to
locate the same (whether by private right-ofway grant, utility easement or otherwise), was
acquired prior to the designation of the location
as a Public Way.
F. If the City shall require the Company to
adapt or conform its Facilities or in any way to
alter, relocate or change its property to enable
any other person, firm, corporation, or Entity
(whether public or private), other than the City,
to use the Public Way, the Company shall be
reimbursed by the person, firm, corporation, or
Entity desiring or occasioning such change for
any and all loss, cost, or expense occasioned
thereby. Person, Firm, Corporation, and
Entity as used in this paragraph shall not
include regular departments of the City, or any
trust or authority formed by or for the benefit
of the City for public utility purposes, but shall
include any other agency or authority of the
City, whether acting in a governmental or
non-governmental capacity, including, but not
limited to, any urban renewal authority, or any
other agency or authority, which as a part of
its program clears whole tracts of land within
the municipal corporate limits and relocates
citizens for the purpose of urban development
or similar aims.
G. The Company and the City shall participate in the Kansas One-Call utility location program. The Company shall cooperate promptly
and fully with the City and take all reasonable
measures necessary to provide accurate and
complete information regarding the location
of its Facilities located within a Public Way
when requested by the City. Such location and
identification shall be promptly communicated
in writing to the City without cost to the City, its
employees, agents or authorized contractors.
The Company shall designate and maintain an
agent familiar with the Facilities, who is responsible for providing timely information needed
by the City for the design and replacement of
Facilities in a Public Way during and for the
design of Public Improvements.
H. The Company shall be subject to the
following fees and costs in connection with its
use and occupancy of any Public Way: (i) in the
event that the repairs or replacements set forth
under Section 5 below, have not been timely
completed by Company, the City may charge
an excavation fee for each street or pavement
cut to recover the costs associated with construction and repair activity; (ii) inspection fees
to recover all reasonable costs associated with
City inspection of the work of the Company
in the Public Way when the Facilities are of
such a scope and magnitude so as to require
the City to incur such inspection costs by an
outside party; and (iii) the repair and restoration
costs associated with repairing and restoring
the Public Way because of damage caused by
the Company, its assigns, contractors, and/or
subcontractors in the Public Way.
SECTION 5. NOTICE OF WORK AND DUTY
TO REPAIR.
A. Prior to commencing any activities
related to the construction, maintenance, or
extension of its Facilities along, across, upon,
or under the Public Way, the Company shall
submit to the City written plans detailing all such
activities in the manner required by the City
by Ordinance. In the event of an emergency,
Company shall have the right to commence
work without providing such plans, provided
such plans are submitted within five business
days of commencement of the work. The
Companys Facilities shall be so constructed
and maintained as not to obstruct or hinder
the usual travel or public safety on such Public
Ways or unreasonably obstruct the legal use by
other utilities.
B. Prior to beginning work, the Company
will inspect existing pavement within and/or
adjacent to the work area and will report
any existing damage or concerns. All earth,
materials, sidewalks, paving, crossings, utilities, Public Improvements, or improvements
of any kind located within the Public Way that
are damaged, displaced, or removed by the
Company shall be fully repaired or replaced
to their prior condition or to existing municipal
standards as are then in existence, and in
a manner satisfactory to the duly authorized
representative of the City, after completing such
activity as is permitted under this Franchise
Ordinance and without cost to the City.
SECTION 6. INDEMNITY AND HOLD
HARMLESS.
The Company, its successors and assigns,
in the construction, maintenance, and operation
of its Facilities, shall use all reasonable and
proper precaution to avoid damage or injury
to persons and property, and shall indemnify,
defend, hold, and save the City harmless from
any and all claims, damage, judgements, and
reasonable expense, including attorney fees,
caused by the negligence of the Company, its
successors and assigns, or their agents or servants. The Company or the City shall promptly
advise the other in writing of any known claim or
demand against the Company or the City related to or arising out of the Companys activities
in any Public Way.
SECTION 7. RULES AND REGULATIONS.
The Company shall have the right to make
and enforce such reasonable rules and regulations as it may deem necessary for the extension of its Facilities, the sale of its gas, and the
prudent conduct of its business, provided that
such rules and regulations shall neither be in
conflict with the laws of the State of Kansas,
with the orders, rules, or regulations of the
Kansas Corporation Commission or other regulatory authority having jurisdiction, nor with the
ordinances and regulations of the City insofar
as they are consistent with the jurisdiction of the
Kansas Corporation Commission or such other
regulatory authority.
SECTION 8. REVOCATION AND
TERMINATION.
In case of failure on the part of the
Company to comply with any of the provisions
of this Franchise Ordinance, or if the Company
should do or cause to be done any act or thing
prohibited by or in violation of the terms of this
Franchise Ordinance, the Company may be
subject to forfeiture of all rights, privileges and
Franchise granted herein, and all such rights,
privileges and franchise hereunder be deemed
ceased, terminated, null, and void, and this
Franchise Ordinance shall be deemed revoked
or terminated, provided that said revocation
or termination shall not take effect until the
City has completed the following procedures:
Before the City proceeds to revoke and terminate this Ordinance, it shall first serve a
written notice upon Company, setting forth
in detail the neglect or failure complained
of, and the Company shall have sixty (60)
days thereafter in which to comply with the
conditions and requirements of this Franchise
Ordinance. If at the end of such sixty (60) day
period the City determines that the neglect or
failure complained of has not been cured, the
City shall take action to revoke and terminate
this Franchise Ordinance by an affirmative
vote of the governing body present at a public
meeting and voting, setting out the grounds
upon which this Franchise Ordinance is to be
revoked and terminated; provided, to afford
the Company due process, the Company shall
first be provided reasonable notice of the date,
time, and location of the governing bodys consideration and shall have the right to address
the governing body regarding such matter; and
further provided, if the nature of the default is
such that it cannot be reasonably cured within
the above said sixty (60) -day period, and the
governing body believes the Company has in
good faith timely commenced its cure and is
diligently pursuing the completion of the same,
the Company may, in the Citys sole discretion,
be given a reasonable additional period of
time to complete its cure. Nothing herein shall
prevent either party from invoking any other
remedy that may otherwise exist at law. Upon
any determination by the governing body to
revoke and terminate this Franchise Ordinance,
the Company shall have thirty (30) days to
appeal such decision to the District Court
where the City is located or in the District Court
of Johnson County, Kansas. This Ordinance
shall be deemed revoked and terminated at the
end of this thirty (30) -day period, unless the
Company has instituted such an appeal. If the
Company does timely institute such an appeal,
such revocation and termination shall remain
pending and subject to the courts final judgment. Provided, however, that the failure of the
Company to comply with any of the provisions
of this Franchise Ordinance or the doing or
causing to be done by the Company of anything
prohibited by or in violation of the terms of this
Franchise Ordinance shall not be a ground for
the revocation or termination thereof when such
act or omission on the part of the Company is
due to any cause or delay beyond the control of
the Company or to bona fide legal proceedings.
SECTION 9. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS.
A. In granting its consent hereunder, the City
does not in any manner waive its regulatory or
other rights and powers under and by virtue of
the laws of the State of Kansas as the same
may be amended, applicable Federal laws or
regulations as the same may be amended, its
home rule powers under the Constitution of
the State of Kansas, nor any of its rights and
powers under or by virtue of present or future
ordinances of the City.
B. In adopting and passing this Ordinance,
neither the Citys nor the Companys present or
future legal rights, positions, claims, assertions
or arguments before any administrative agency
or court of law are in any way prejudiced or
waived. By the Citys adopting and passing
this Franchise Ordinance and the Companys
acceptance hereof as provided in Section 10,
neither the City nor the Company waive any
rights, but instead expressly reserve any and
all rights, remedies, and arguments the City or
the Company may have at law or equity, without
limitation, to argue, assert, and/or take any
position as to the legality or appropriateness
of any present or future laws, non-franchise

from our fields to our plates.
We have gained valuable
insight into the processes that
underpin an entire agricultural industry. This insight can
also be gained through agrotourism, an experience-based
enterprise that has popularized handcrafted products and
increased consumer demands
for sustainability, animal welfare, and environmental awareness.
Our dairy cows and the
responsibilities we have
toward them add a depth to
our life that we could otherwise not enjoy. Each year my
sisters and I look forward to
witnessing the birth of new
calves and tracking their
development alongside their
mothers. Although time-consuming, we understand the
value of at-home cheese- and
butter-making and appreciate
the nutritional benefits that
raw milk provides.
Beyond milk production,
our cows play an important role in keeping our fields
healthy. We practice rotational
grazing and pair our cows with
our meat goats and hair sheep.
This reduces each species risk
of contracting parasitic infections and controls the growth
of weeds.
Most of all, we love our
Jersey and Jersey-cross cows
and calves. Jerseys are naturally curious and sweet-natured,
and they are the perfect size for
hobby and family farmers.
Owning a small dairy operation has allowed my family
and I to develop a deeper appreciation for farming, livestock,
and the discipline it takes to
produce the kinds of foods we
enjoy. National Dairy Month
gives us a time to recognize
the effort we put into producing our food and to be grateful
for the opportunities we have
alongside our animals.

a notable raw milk market.
Current state law prevents producers like us from selling raw
milk or raw milk products offfarm. This significantly reduces farmers marketing power
and limits consumers access
to raw milk; unless consumers
live near willing and affordable
producers they cannot participate in this market. Most smallscale dairy men and women
live far from populous areas
and are restricted by the daily
maintenance associated with
owning livestock.
While we do not cultivate
raw milk for profit, however,
my family and I are fortunate
to have regular access to this
unique commodity. We benefit
immensely from our savings
on store-bought milk, cheese,
and yogurt especially as the
cost of groceries has risen.
Like hand-milking, developing quality dairy products
at home took a great deal of
trial-and-error. We learned
through experimentation how
to create the right instant soft
cheeses like ricotta; aged hard
cheeses like cheddar; butter
and buttermilk; yogurt; and
kefir, a fermented milk drink
that contains an abundance of
live probiotics especially when
made from raw milk.
Our central goal is to honor
the livestock that give back to
us, and to do so in a way that is
sustainable and beneficial for
the cow, calf, and farmer. This
is a testament to the harmony
we seek to cultivate between
our operation and nature. Our
commitment to backyard dairy
production has lowered our
reliance on the processed food
industry and increased our
own productivity.
Perhaps the most important
part about our operation is the
connection we have fostered
with our food; we can track
our dairy products directly

SHAPIRO…

theyre totally fine with Trump
being prosecuted for charges
that are absolute trash.
They are also perfectly fine
with the DOJ letting Joe Biden,
the current President of the
United States, off the hook, even
though he clearly involved
himself in criminal conduct in
terms of mishandling classified
material because hes a doddering old fool who then goes
out and rips the prosecutor for
mentioning that hes a doddering old fool and in the process
shows himself to be even more
of a doddering old fool.
You are totally fine, apparently, if youre a Democrat,
with the DOJ originally trying
to cut such an extraordinary
sweetheart deal with the presidents son. It was only scuttled
when a judge looked at it and
said, what the hell is this? And
the only reason that Hunter
Biden is being brought up on
charges now is because a judge
looked at the original sweetheart deal brought by Merrick
Garlands DOJ and said it was
so obviously corrupt there was
no way he could greenlight this
prosecution deal.
As far as the political obviousness of the situation, one
of the big prosecutors in this
case was Matthew Colangelo.
The DNC paid him $12,000
in January 2018 for political
consulting. He donated to
Barack Obamas first presidential campaign in 2008. He
was the third-ranking official
at President Bidens Justice
Department. He then joined
Braggs office in December
2022, and just a few months
later, they launched this current investigation into Trump.
And were supposed to
believe there was no coordination, that Joe Biden knew nothing about this, that this was
just the workings of the gears
of justice? Thats all this is?
Sure.
Meanwhile, the judge, obviously a partisan Democrat,
donated a small amount to the
Biden presidential campaign
in 2020, as well as to ActBlue,
which is an activist group.
His daughter, a Democratic
activist, serves as president of
Authentic Campaigns, a firm
that does digital campaign
work like online fundraising,
and they work with Democratic
political candidates. Not only
that, but she was also apparently the director of digital persuasion for Vice President Kamala
Harriss 2020 presidential campaign, according to CNN.
So there is a partisan
Democrat judge, a partisan
hack prosecutor, and a set of
charges that are just garbage.
This thing was rigged from
the start the same way that the
O.J. Simpson trial was over
the minute they moved it from
Brentwood to downtown L.A.
because of the jury pool. The
minute that this was a case initiated in Manhattan, the trial
was over.
This is a cataclysmic circumstance for the country.
Because when you have the
chief political rival of the president of the United States being
brought up by allies of the president of the United States in a
court on spurious charges so
the entire media and Biden can
claim hes a convicted felon,
you are looking at incipient
tyranny.
Democrats are playing with
fire. They dont seem to care if
they burn down every institution in the country in order to
get Trump. Nor do they seem to
care if they blow up the law in
order to get Trump.
The most important thing
is getting Donald Trump. And
then they have the temerity to
project that Donald Trump is
the threat to democracy.
The Biden-Harris campaign
put out this statement:
In New York today, we saw
that no one is above the law.
Donald Trump has always
mistakenly believed he would
never face consequences for
breaking the law for his own
personal gain. But todays verdict does not change the fact
that the American people face
a simple reality. There is still
only one way to keep Donald
Trump out of the Oval Office:
at the ballot box. Convicted
felon or not, Trump will be the
Republican nominee for president.
The threat Trump poses
to our democracy has never
been greater. He is running an
increasingly unhinged campaign of revenge and retribution, pledging to be a dictator
on day one and calling for
our Constitution to be terminated so he can regain and
keep power. A second Trump
term means chaos, ripping
away Americans freedoms and
fomenting political violence
and the American people will
reject it this November.
That last paragraph is one
of the greatest examples of projection Ive ever seen in my life.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,
who have trumped up a series
of charges in four separate
jurisdictions against Trump,
say the threat Trump poses
to democracy has never been
greater.
Here is just a short list of
ways in which Joe Biden is a
threat to our democracy:
He and his party have activated apparatchiks at the state
level to use federal charges, of
which they have no jurisdiction, to attempt to jail his political opponent, who is currently
leading him in the swing states
in the polls.
He activated his DOJ to
target Trump in three separate
jurisdictions.
That same DOJ was activated in order to scuttle a case
against Joe Biden and scuttle
the case against Hunter Biden.
He tried to use OSHA to force
80 million Americans to vaccinate against their will.
Biden defies the Supreme
Court on a regular basis by
alleviating student loan debt in
violation of law, and then brags
about it.
He continues to falsely
claim in front of black audiences that if he loses, it will be
because Republicans suppress
the vote, which is a blatant,
outright anti-democratic lie.
He has used government
agencies to repeatedly threaten
social media companies.
He has attacked states fo
enforcing border law. He ha
used federal predominanc
over border law to keep th
border wide open.
But Donald Trump is th
tyrant? Are you kidding me?
Biden is running a
unhinged campaign of reveng
and retribution. His entir
campaign is based on the ide
that Donald Trump is a threa
to our democracy, and he mu
be stopped by any means nece
sary.
A second Trump term
means chaos? Have you looke
around lately, Joe? The Midd
East is on fire. Ukraine is o
fire. Taiwan is being routinel
threatened by China. Inflatio
has raged out of control fo
over three years. Our econom
is stagnating. Our social fabri
is ripped.
And in the middle of thi
you throw the lit-fuse bomb a
your political opponent, wh
might be jailed, and you hav
the temerity to say this is abou
upholding the law?

FUNDS…
FROM PAGE 1
Donation traffic was so heavy
in the immediate hours after
the verdict that the website
crashed and was inoperable
until later Thursday night.
Staffers for Republican congressional campaigns in the
Sunflower State are hoping
that verdict-inspired financial
generosity will spill over to
the foot soldiers in the next
Congress who will help pursue a Trump agenda after 2024,
should the persecuted former
president manage a November
win.
The verdict and the prosecution have been widely criticized even by those typically not friendly to Trump. A
top legal expert for CNN savaged the Manhattan District
Attorneys office, saying it was
blatantly clear that prosecutors
only brought the case in order
to stop Trumps presidency.
Former federal and state prosecutor Ellie Honig, a frequent
CNN legal contributor, said in
a column this week both the
prosecution and the court itself
in the case had shown evidence
of bias which should have constituted a mistrial.
The Trump campaign says
some 30 percent of the recent
donors are new to the former
presidents fundraising efforts,
leading to speculation that
the verdict has brought more
Americans into the realm of
political contributorship than
possibly ever before.
Federal election contribution limits this year top out
at $3,300 per individual donation to a candidate committee,
$5,000 per year to a political
action committee and $10,000
per year combined to a party
committee at the state, district or local level. Individuals
can contribute up to $41,300
per year to a National Party
Committee.
Contributors new to the concept of political giving will be
weighing the advantages and
possible spread of their contributions; from direct giving
to individual candidates to
local or state party committees aiming to help multiple
candidates, or political action
committees focusing on specific issue-related targets.
Campaign staff for Kansas
Congressional races say its
important to remember that a
newly elected president Trump
will also need support in congress, and candidates working
to win those positions this summer need financial support to
make that happen.
While support for the presidential race is crucial, its
important to remember that
down-ballot races are vital,
too, said Dustin Morris, campaign manager for Dr. Prasanth
Reddys race for Kansas 3rd
District. Our local and congressional candidates form the
backbone that a Republican
administration will rely on.
Supporting these campaigns
ensures that we have a strong,
cohesive team ready to implement the changes and values
we all believe in.
Eric Pahls, campaign strategist for Derek Schmidts campaign for Kansas 2nd District,
said these last days of the
Trump roller coaster had clearly illustrated the importance of
financial support to candidates
who share the vision conservatives want to pursue in a new
administration.
We are thrilled to see the
record support for President
Trump, Pahls said. As
Kansans rightfully chip in to
help him against these attacks,
they should additionally look to
help those like Derek Schmidt
who will have Trumps back
and help grow his majority in
the House.
Additional Kansas regulations apply for local and state
race contributions.
Kansas congressional candidates and state legislative contenders also accept donations
from their websites and local
candidates can be contacted
for contributions directly or
through their web or social
media presence or campaign
literature.
