Worries abound that the U.S. will not be able to remove all American citizens and Afghan allies from Afghanistan before an Aug. 31 deadline to withdraw.

our military forces know the way to use helicopters to get the americans out from far away locations while keeping terrorists at bay The US military can chew gum and walk The AMERICANS LEFT BEHIND WILL BE TORTURED AND VIDEOWED FOR YEARS what do we need to be permitted? JUST DO IT !

Jeff Coats

They need to make a clean and safe exit. Biden can go there and be the Last one from America out. Note; I did not say last American out.

The president started this mess by not evacuating before removing troops. We owe our people and allies the right to get safely out!

President Joe Biden held firm to the Aug. 31 deadline in public remarks Tuesday. He said meeting the deadline will require Taliban cooperation.

If ALL people who want out are out, no, we need to go If we still have US citizens or supporters that want out, we need to make that happen, no question. This is an epic failure of the current administration. Total flustercluck.

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!

Max

You finally got one right. Did you have help?

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

Steve Baumann

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Your own safety is your own responsibility.

Most people already drive 75 MPH, at least. Trust the people.

A lot of people drive faster than the posted speed limit - 75 to 80 instead of 70. Increasing the speed limit will just push the actual travel rates higher - 80 to 85 instead of 75. With all of the heavy trucks on the road (some that drive slow), higher speeds are just dangerous.

Shelley Vansell

Drivers are already driving 5 to 10 miles over the current limits so if it's increased I'm pretty sure they'll exceed the new limits.
