Are the American dream and the welfare of the people in jeopardy?
Forty-three Northwest Missouri State University students recently had their visas revoked by the United States Citizen Immigration Services. They were told to leave the country immediately. So long, American dream. - Phil Smith, Kansas City 'Salus populi suprema lex esto,' Missouri's motto appearing on the state seal and flag, translated from Latin to English is: 'The welfare of the people shall be the supreme law.' From their current actions, members of the General Assembly seem oblivious to the motto's existence and meaning. - Nancy M. Ehrlich, Independence Most Americans want to end the practice of changing our clocks twice a year and make either Standard Time or Daylight Saving Time permanent. But which one? The arguments from sleep experts and the medical field are that Standard Time best aligns with our human circadian biology and is better for our physical and mental health as well as our safety. The argument that Daylight Saving allows the enjoyment of an extra hour of sunlight at the end of the day is supported by the recreation industry as well as convenience stores and others. Although that 'extra' hour of sunlight year-round might sound lucrative, permanent Daylight Saving Time was tried during the energy crisis in 1974 and was rescinded after only 10 months because of the extreme dark mornings in mid-winter. In Kansas City, permanent Daylight Saving would result in the sun not rising until almost 8:40 during the last half of December and much of January. Even the current practice of Daylight Saving for eight months of the year results in unnecessary darker mornings in early spring and late fall. It's time to return to permanent Standard Time, which has served humankind well since time immemorial. Contact your representatives in Congress, as they will ultimately decide. - Thomas Harries, Lenexa In his April 14 column, 'Please keep your obvious pronouns out of my emails,' (7A) David Mastio quotes White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: 'Any reporter who chooses to put their preferred pronouns in their bio ...' 'Reporter' is a singular noun. 'Their' is a plural pronoun. Leavitt violated her own preference. The correct albeit awkward usage to follow the practice Leavitt prefers would be 'his or her.' Pronouns are a weak part of speech, often used as a crutch to avoid clarity. Avoid pronouns at all costs. - Michael Grimaldi, Kansas City Contrary to what you might have heard, a Real ID is not required to drive or vote. A Real ID will be required only if you want to travel by plane. This change is designed to further reduce the possibility of terrorism with air travel. Also contrary to what you might have heard, it's not that difficult to update your existing driver's license or non-driver ID. Just go to the DMV with your birth certificate or passport, Social Security card, a utility bill and voter registration card. You'll need a marriage certificate or divorce decree if your last name has changed. This serves as a reminder always to save such documents. And you might as well go ahead and do it now, just in case more places require a Real ID in the future. Let's get Real. - Kevin Lindeman, Kansas City Editor's note: Visit for a complete list of acceptable documentation to obtain a Real ID. Based on the oath of office, the president is compelled to, 'preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.' Recently, however, the Supreme Court ruled that the president cannot be held legally accountable for actions taken in the performance of 'official duties,' in effect placing the president above the law. The president's continued roundup and arrest of undocumented people, coupled with no judicial oversight, has resulted in an unprecedented constitutional stalemate of sorts. Since the president can't be held legally liable, the courts seem to lack authority to compel the president to legally comply. Meanwhile, a timid Congress seems unwilling to step into this constitutional crisis, while our allies express astonishment and dismay. These events strongly suggest that all of us are at grave personal risk from a lawless and contemptible president. - Phil Anderson, Manhattan, Kansas

Daylight Savings: It's about the sunlight
It's not about the math. But it is about the sunlight. "My goal is just to make sure people get more sunshine," said Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass. "I am fond of saying you can't shovel sunshine," said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex. "The American people love having an extra hour of sunlight," said Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla. 'Stop The Clock': Gop, Dems Come Together To End Daylight Saving Over Health, Economic Risks Read On The Fox News App Tax day is upon us. So millions of Americans are hoping they score a refund from the federal government. And millions of Americans are hoping Washington can help them pocket an extra hour of daylight too. This is why Congress is trying to maximize the sun. Some lawmakers believe it's time to "lock the clock." Either choosing Standard Time or Daylight Saving Time. But the twice-a-year clock switching may be living on borrowed time. That's why the Senate Commerce Committee held the first Congressional hearing on the biannual time change for the first time in three years last week. "We need to stop the clock. We need to find a solution and stick with it," said Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester, D-Del. "People across our country are tired of the constant cycle of falling back and springing forward. I mean, who hasn't forgotten to change their clock on their microwave. I think mine is still on the wrong time." We Live In Time: Daylight Savings And The 'Time Lords' Of Congress President Trump has weighed in several times in opposition to the clock switching – both during this term in office and during his previous tenure. In March, the President called it a "50-50 issue." But Mr. Trump again wrinkled the time conversation with a post on Truth Social. Despite not taking a stand when the U.S. "sprang forward," President Trump was emphatic about what should happen now. "The House and Senate should push hard for more Daylight at the end of a day. Very popular and, most importantly, no more changing of the clocks, a big inconvenience and, for our government, A VERY COSTLY EVENT!!!," wrote the President. Rick Scott has grappled with the time issue before. Scott served two terms as governor of Florida before entering the Senate. Scott signed a bill into law that would let the Sunshine State (go figure) opt out of the time change. A similar piece of legislation has bipartisan support on Capitol Hill. Scott looked to the president's lead. "We have a great opportunity to finally get this done with President Trump on board to lock the clock," said Scott. But locking it an hour ahead? Or an hour behind? There's little agreement. Trump Says Congress Should Push 'For More Daylight At The End Of A Day' The Senate voted to permanently park the U.S. on Daylight Saving Time in 2022. Secretary of State and then-Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., surprisingly advanced a bill without objection from any senator. "Without objection, so ordered!" exclaimed former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., who presided over the Senate that day. "Yes!" she declared, yanking her arms toward her like a coach who's kicker just drilled a field goal late in the game. But the plan died in the House. "The spring clock change to Daylight Saving Time is bad. But permanent Daylight Saving Time is worse," testified Karin Johnson a Professor of Neurology at UMass Chan School of Medicine. "The later sunrises and sunsets of Daylight Saving Time lead to higher risks of chronic diseases, including but not limited to cancer, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and these outweigh the short term risks of what happens with the time change." Johnson also told senators that "year-round Standard Time is a natural, healthy choice promoting physical health, mental health performance and safety." Congress Debates Future Of Daylight Saving Time Johnson argued that the U.S. should not "pick something that's been tried and failed twice before." Johnson's right. The U.S. has "sprung" forward to Daylight Saving Time – or its equivalent – on two separate occasions. In 1918, Congress voted for the nation to embrace Daylight Saving Time to conserve energy during World War I. Farmers pushed a repeal of Daylight Saving Time. So Congress undid it. President Woodrow Wilson vetoed the bill. But Congress overrode him. It's one of only 112 successful presidential veto overrides by Congress in the history of the republic. Lawmakers greenlighted the Emergency Daylight Saving Time Energy Conservation Act – triggering year-round Daylight Saving Time – in the mid 1970s. This was in response to the OPEC oil shocks. The nation was supposed to remain on Daylight Saving Time for two years. But the new time proved so unpopular that lawmakers unwound the clocks to Standard Time after only a few months. However, permanent Daylight Saving Time has its advocates. Jay Karen of the National Golf Course Owners Association told senators that shifting the clocks an hour ahead would prompt an extra 27 million rounds of golf on the links each year. Karen estimated that golf course owners would pocket an additional $1 billion. "Americans overwhelmingly prefer evening recreation over early morning," testified Karen. But do you know who absolutely hates Daylight Saving Time? Convicts! A University of Washington study found that the single toughest sentencing day of the year is the Monday after we spring forward each March. Blame it on cranky judges who lost an hour of sleep. Daylight Saving Time: There Oughta Be A Law "Some people receive harsher sentences than they otherwise would," said Scott Yates of the Lock the Clock Movement. Justice may be blind. But it can certainly tell time. Arizona and Hawaii don't observe Daylight Saving Time. Sen. Todd Young, R-Ind., is leery of a nationwide fix. Two time zones cleave the Hoosier State. "We have 12 counties in the western part of the state that are in the Central Time Zone," said Young. "Maybe a one-size-fits-all national policy on time changes doesn't take into account the regional differences that significantly impact daily life." It all hinges on location. Some people in the north and east will benefit for some of the year. But the sun will come up too early in the summer and set too early in the winter. Residents on the western ends of time zones seem to get more sunlight later in the year as well. But other locales? Not so much. "Hello darkness, my old friend," mused Cruz, channeling Simon & Garfunkel. During the hearing, Cruz commented to a witness that "your time has expired." And that may be the case with the time change. But not unless Congress can agree what to do. Even the name of the March time switch is contrived. It's classic Washington spin. "Daylight Saving." Lawmakers are essentially trying to convince the public they're getting more of something – for free. But they're not. There are only so many hours and minutes of sunlight in the day. Period. It's always going to get too dark too early somewhere. And the sun will always come up too early somewhere. And even though Congress has a lot of clout, it certainly can't control article source: Daylight Savings: It's about the sunlight
