Social post

If you believe your Instagram post, Facebook meme, or Tweet is somehow contributing to the BLM movement than you are sadly mistaken. That kind of junk is about as helpful as your “support the troops” magnet on your Subaru.

Don’t break law

If you’d like to avoid trouble with law enforcement, don’t break the law. Don’t be high on fentanyl or meth. Don’t set buildings on fire. Don’t steal. Don’t commit murder.

vPool business

The Cape school district is worried about a Missouri budget funding cut. Here’s an idea: Get out of the swimming pool construction business, which saves $6,000,000 immediately and another $750,000 in maintenance costs each year thereafter.

Read your Bible

Joe Biden said President Trump should open his Bible, he might learn something. Well, Mr. Biden, maybe you should open yours and read the part about “Thou shalt not kill.” Abortion is murder. Or the one about “Thou shalt not bear false witness again thy neighbor,” as the Democrats have done with President Trump. You, Mr. Biden, and your party are a bunch of hypocrites that fan the flames of dissent in this country. May God help us if you and Nancy and Chuck ever get full power of the government.

One bad apple

I’m having a hard time holding all the police responsible for the crimes of a minority of the offices, while at the same time saying that all the protesters are not responsible for those engaged in looting. Instead, how about we hold just those that commit the crimes accountable.

Human race

I am starting to worry about the human race. Too much of the population will believe social media over truthful and researched facts. Too many will believe the hateful and negative over the positive and good. Most people look at the political affiliation of the person making a statement to determine if it is right or wrong, rather than the statement itself. The media is more concerned with providing their readers with what they want to hear than what they need to hear or what is correct. Political discussions are more about who can be the rudest or throw the best insult, rather than who has the best ideas. Being able to reach a good compromise is seen as a weakness, instead of a strength.

Floyd scholarship

SEMO University is establishing a scholarship in memory of George Floyd. Will a scholarship also be established in memory of Captain Dorn?

  • Regarding the human race....this goes for everything. The United Methodist Church is facing this same obstacle. Since the beginning we have been taught from the Bible a set of rules to live by and now it seems those rules don't fit into today's society so they want to change them so some feel better about their life decisions. Obviously this will split the church.

    Social post: You got to stand for something or you'll fall for everything!

    Don’t break law: Respect of the accused as well as the police officer should be a two-way street. Don't resist arrest and live another day.

    vPool business: The city father's legacy can do without the cost of an unwanted/unneeded city pool.

    Read your Bible: Biden and the Democrats need to not only read the Bible about Abortions but also the Constitution and the rights of the Presidency.

    One bad apple: "How about we hold just those that commit the crimes accountable." Very true words from the caller. Two wrongs don't make a right.

    Human race: "The media is more concerned with providing their readers with what they want to hear than what they need to hear or what is correct." Very true words from the caller. As Segarent Joe Friday once said - Just the facts, just the facts.

    Floyd scholarship: Who will the GF scholarship be given to - felons?

    And that's the way it should be according to Schaefer's World....Monday June 15, 2020.

    Have heard about the disagreement going on in The United Methodist Church and I agree (not a Methodist) that a set of rules laid out years ago that were according to the Scriptures are as true today as it was back then. The remakers of ideas to suit the current society just doesn't work except for those wanting to bend the rules to suit their agendas.

    Democrats are so out of ideas for competing with Trump that they are resorting to burning down their own Democratic controlled cities in order to further their agenda of hating Trump.

    Why is the public scared of the Chinese Virus which is causing the Stock Market to go down - it doesn't seem to phrase the looters/rioters and their news media supporters any.
