Paying forward is a wonderful exercise. And so the Exchange Club of Lawrence, in the midst of celebrating its 45th anniversary, will be giving away corn at the Hoosier Outdoor Experience on Sept. 26 at Fort Benjamin Harrison Park. The club is comprised of many former and current armed forces members. It supports local charities, children and families in need, and servicemen and servicewomen. It also works to combat child abuse nationally through various fundraisers and sponsorship/scholarship programs. Its efforts are noble, and we salute the club on its multiple achievements.

Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.) has demonstrated his ability to sideline unions in his home state. The other day, he said he would do the same thing nationally if elected president. Walker, you might know, is among the large field of candidates for the Republican nomination. He’s also among the large field of delusional candidates for which the GOP is rather famous.

Maybe we spoke too soon in awarding her the White House about 18 months ago in this space. Hillary Rodman Clinton (D-N.Y.) is hurting badly in polling among women. A recent Washington Post/ABC News national survey shows that while Clinton still leads the field of Democrats, “for the first time her support has dropped below 50 percent in Post-ABC surveys, with the biggest decline coming among white women.” She also trailed rival Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire and Iowa.

This should just about seal it for Donald Trump (R-Billions): No less an authority than actor Gary Busey has endorsed Trump’s presidential candidacy. OK, then, back to Dancing with the Stars, Gary.
