Letters: Readers discuss police spoiling dinosaur joy, Hollywood numbers and the shutdown

I am a Kansas City hometown guy who thrilled to the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win 50 years ago — 50 years. I’m still a big fan and extremely loyal, but I’m sorry — they have already caved.

Letters: Readers discuss Jerry Moran’s good vote, KanCare and invading immigrants

I want to thank Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas for his vote in favor of ending U.S. involvement in this war and to inform Kansans that Sen. Pat Roberts voted to prolong it. I strongly condemn Roberts for this vote.

Letters: Readers discuss Bill Snyder, discrimination against baby boomers and McCoy’s

We are the forgotten people who have so much experience that I wonder if employers could handle all we know. Are you are afraid we may have old-school techniques that work better than a computer outcome?

Letters: Readers discuss immigrants’ stories, KU’s budget woes and killing Obamacare

High-risk pools are very expensive, and they don’t work. So before you take away Obamacare, think about how much more expensive health insurance premiums will be for most Americans.

Letters: Readers discuss Patty Prewitt still in prison and the Chiefs’ playoff record

The one common denominator in all these playoff games is the owner of the team. I said it last year, and I’ll say it again: The Chiefs need new ownership if they expect to seriously contend for a Super Bowl title.

Letters: Readers discuss 3-Trails Memorial Crossing woes and Kansas’ Barbara Bollier

Not only is traffic backed up coming from the north and east as it tries to go west, but MODOT is trying to direct a lot of this traffic with rubber cones that do not stop a car or truck from going into the workers’ lanes.

Cheers for special care from a police officer outside the Jubilee Theatre

And jeers to our mail carriers. For a number of years, we have continued to get other people’s mail —some with our house number on another street, and some with no similarity to our address at all.

Letters: Readers discuss the Denverization of KC and Chiefs heartbreak again

Let’s create better neighborhoods first east of Troost, bring in good jobs that would increase incomes for the residents and make the area safer - and then worry about pricing residents out.

Letters: Readers discuss #MeToo at Christmas, bringing back Kareem Hunt and 44 senators

Finally, we have a team that’s exciting to watch, a team that doesn’t score only one touchdown or field goal by halftime, a team with a leader in Patrick Mahomes the likes of whom fans haven’t been as excited about since Joe Montana.

Letters: Readers discuss Trump versus Pelosi and Schumer, Mahomes skills and Kareem Hunt

Later, after the conference, the only thing commentators could say about the vice president was to compliment him on his good posture and to mention he is next in line if Trump faces impeachment. God help this country.

Letters: Readers discuss Free Hot Soup, Chiefs security foibles and offensive lyrics

I have a son who is a chef, and I know it is very important to maintain the correct temperature for both hot and cold foods. Proper hygiene may not be rocket science, but it’s also not trivial.

Letters to the Editor
