This is a good question.

Do you think Catherine Hanaway knows there is a statue of a woman atop the Missouri state capitol (with exposed breasts) and that it is a non Christian goddess?

I struggled to find locals willing to put their name behind any kind of statement of support for Marshall. Partially a function of small-town politeness, but there is clearly something else going on too. Much more here (gift link): kansascity.com/opinion/opn-c…

In Sen. Roger Marshall’s longtime home of Great Bend, public support is lukewarm

The Star’s David Hudnall spent three days talking to residents and voters in Barton County, Kansas. Few were eager to praise the senator

SEE FOR YOURSELF: Adam Hamilton’s church urges kids’ ministry staff to replace “boys and girls” for gender-neutral language inspired by LGBTQ+ activists. With names like “niblings” and “morning glories” — this is child grooming. Hamilton is too extreme for Kansas and a vote for him is a vote to hand our state over to the radical left. Protect Kansas values. Vote Roger Marshall. breitbart.com/politics/2026/…

I’ll answer that one. It doesn’t. Comic strips may be easier to understand than statutes, but the law is clear: the only part of the ban with an expiration date is the subsection referring to cross sex hormones and puberty blockers. Surgery ban is permanent. Read the damn bill.

Cops left the force. They kept tracking people with a powerful camera network.

Police kept access to Flock’s vast surveillance system long after they left the force. Some used it to track the locations of romantic partners.
