Building the Future and Restoring the Balance. A rational voice for the majority of Kansans

[Moderate Kansas @ModerateKS]

@moms_joco @RogerMarshallMD For whom?

[Moderate Kansas @ModerateKS]

Roger Marshall calls Kansans “too dangerous” to meet in public. But travels to Qatar to meet with historic financiers of Radical Islamic Terror networks. Tells Kansans to sacrifice more and don’t worry think about money. Then deposits checks from Qatar lobbyists. He parrots Qatar foreign agent talking points at Senate hearing on antisemitism, then screams “Radical Islam” when he’s down in the polls.

[Moderate Kansas @ModerateKS]

@2pamalert @POTUS @RogerMarshallMD @KenPaxtonTX @Bombardier He also fought for Qatar to bribe Trump with a 747 and he flew there to meet business leaders and the emir who has a long history of funding radical Islamic terrorists. While calling Kansans too dangerous to meet with. #Corrupt #ForiegnAgent #Terrorism

[Moderate Kansas @ModerateKS]

Where on your list is meeting with longtime funders of Radical Islamic Terrorists? Accepting their lobbyists money? Defending them against anti-semitism on the Senste Floor using foreign agent talking points?

Meeting with Kansans is “too dangerous” though, and we need to not worry about money or gas prices.

[Moderate Kansas @ModerateKS]

@Matthilton23 Who needs Open Borders? Roger will come to you as long as you have a history of funding terror networks we have been fighting for 25 years and write his campaign a check.

“There are things more important than money to Kansans.” — Roger Marshall

Kansans still have gas, groceries, and rent to pay, Senator.

And since we’re talking about money… Roger, is that a Rolex?

🚨🚨🚨Roger Marshall says public town halls with Kansans are “non-productive and dangerous.”

Meanwhile, his campaign reported at least $13,000 from two Qatar lobbyists and PAC
$3,500 from the lobbyists personally and $9,500 from the firm’s PAC. He flew to Qatar to meet and hear their concerns.

At a Senate hearing on antisemitism, Marshall defended Qatar with arguments that matched talking points supplied to his office by Qatari foreign agents.

That deserves scrutiny. U.S. Treasury records document Qatar-based private financing for al-Qaeda, al-Qaeda in Iraq, ISIS and the Taliban—radical Islamist networks the United States and our allies have fought during the past 25 years.

Kansans get safety excuses. Qatar lobbyists get access. Foreign agents talking points get airtime in a Senate hearing. While Kansas farmers are told to sacrifice more and money doesn’t matter.

Apparently, public accountability is too dangerous. Qatar-linked campaign checks are perfectly acceptable.

Roger owes Kansans answers.

Roger Marshall talks tough about “radical Islam” on the campaign trail, but back in D.C. his Qatar 🇶🇦 foreign agent connections raise major red flags.
🚨🚨🚨🚨

His campaign reported at least $13,000 from two Qatar lobbyists and Venable’s PAC during 2020–2025.

That’s $3,500 from the lobbyists personally, plus $9,500 from the firm’s PAC. $7,500 arrived in 2025.

Records also document Capital Grille dinner invitations and Qatar-trip coordination with his chief of staff, Brent Robertson. Marshall visited Doha and met Qatar’s emir and business leaders. He also hosted Qatar’s ambassador at the Kansas Speedway.

Qatar’s citizen population is smaller than Wichita’s. Yet U.S. Treasury records document billions in Qatar-linked terrorist-financing networks. Marshall’s public defense of Qatar deserves scrutiny.

💰 Funding Radical Islamic Terror Groups

🚨Hamas — government support: Qatar hosted Hamas leaders and provided an estimated $1.8 billion to Hamas-run Gaza. The entire amount cannot accurately be described as terrorist financing.

🚨Al-Qaeda and al-Qaeda in Iraq — private financing: Treasury reported that Qatar-based financier Abd al-Rahman al-Nu’aymi oversaw more than $2 million monthly to al-Qaeda in Iraq for an unspecified period and ordered nearly $600,000 transferred to al-Qaeda’s representative in Syria.

🚨Al-Shabaab — private financing: Treasury reported approximately $250,000 from al-Nu’aymi to two designated figures by mid-2012.

🚨Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and Asbat al-Ansar: Treasury documented charity-linked support involving al-Nu’aymi and an AQAP fundraiser, and financial support to Asbat al-Ansar.

🚨Al-Nusra Front: Treasury documented Qatari financier Sa’d al-Ka’bi’s fundraising for weapons and food and facilitation of a hostage-ransom payment.

🚨ISIS: Treasury reported approximately $2 million arranged from a Qatar-based facilitator for military operations.

🚨ISIS-K: Treasury identified donations collected from individuals in Qatar and other countries through the sham charity Nejaat Social Welfare Organization.

🚨Taliban: Treasury documented private fundraising by Qatari national Ibrahim al-Bakr for the Taliban and al-Qaeda.

🚨Hezbollah, Lebanon: Treasury identified a network sending tens of millions of dollars, including transfers from Qatar.

🚨IRGC/Kata’ib Hezbollah: Reports described proposed payments of $50 million for Qassem Soleimani and $25 million for a militia leader; payment remains unverified. Qatar denied paying a ransom.

🚨Palestinian Islamic Jihad: Civil lawsuits alleged financing through Qatar Charity and Qatari banks.

The contributions, lobbying access and Marshall’s public defense of Qatar deserve clear answers.

KS SECRETARY OF STATE RACE:

“If Pat Proctor can’t pay his own employees, how can we trust him to run our elections?” @ElectJenDay (Dem) said. “The fact that Proctor withheld tens of thousands of dollars from dozens of his employees — depriving workers of fair wages — shows he has no regard for the people of Kansas and that he thinks the rules don’t apply to him.”

Day, who owns a real estate investment business, said the candidate elected secretary of state should be a standard bearer in terms of elections and business filings. Those duties start with being accountable for personal mistakes, she said.

“As a small business owner myself, I know how important it is that these offices be run with integrity,” Day said. “My opponent has proven that he won’t put Kansans before his own interests, and it’s a record Kansas voters deserve to know about.”

@ScottMorganKS, the secretary of state nominee of United Kansas Party, said he was puzzled that Proctor thought he should be trusted to lead the office of secretary of state despite an inability to understand fundamental rules applicable to business owners in Kansas. He said Proctor should consider dropping out the race if he didn’t feel up to the task of dealing with complexities of state law and regulation.

“If you don’t know that you have to comply with laws and regulations, how, exactly, are you qualified to be in charge of the state office responsible for accepting and maintaining filings from all of the Kansas businesses?” Morgan said. “Every business, and certainly one with multiple restaurants, hires accounting and legal help. Did Proctor do his own taxes? Did he memorize the food safety regulations?”

Morgan said ignorance of rules and regulations was no defense for someone caught financially shortchanging their employees.

The UMC split, explained by someone who was there and a critic at that.

Rev. David Livingston: Adam Hamilton worked to keep the church together amid decades of disagreement.

“He tried. Many of us did.”

“Adam Hamilton believes in working together. He has a 30+ year record of doing that, even as his theological positions have shifted from center-right to center-left. That’s why after searching through every sermon he could find, Hamilton’s opponent can just grab two or three short quotes taken out of context to try to nail him as a radical. If you want radical, Hamilton will be too conservative for you. If you want MAGA, Hamilton will be too liberal. If you think we need an alternative to that, he may be right for you. Just let that be your reasoning, not made up stories about him destroying a denomination.”

“We are registered Republicans, but as members of the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, we can’t stand by and listen to the lies about Adam Hamilton by his opponent in the race for Kansas’ seat in the U.S. Senate.

Let us tell you the truth about Hamilton, our pastor and friend for 26 years.

He is genuine, caring, honest, humble and very smart, with great vision and the ability to bring sides together to solve problems. He is someone who will listen to you and whom you can trust, knowing he will work for all the people of Kansas. He is not far left or far right but is, in fact, the moderate we have seen all these years.

We urge you to go hear Adam speak and to meet him if you have the opportunity because you will see how genuine he is. His beliefs and values shape who he is. Despite his busy campaign schedule, he recently visited a longtime church member and friend of ours who is in hospice. That’s who he is.

Adam Hamilton founded Resurrection in 1990, and the church has grown into the nation’s largest United Methodist congregation under his leadership. He would be the first to say, however, that it is God’s church, not his.

The thing we love most about our church is its service and outreach to others.

Resurrection has been the largest donor of blood in the Kansas City area for many years running. The church, under Adam’s direction, gives all its Christmas offerings (about $2 million last year) to those in need in the Kansas City area and in Africa.

Members have painted inner-city schools, built playgrounds, provided school supplies, given out tons of food and purchased a mobile dental clinic and funded a pharmacy for those who can’t afford such services.

The church holds an annual leadership institute where Methodist pastors and leaders from across the country gather to learn, share and be inspired.
This is why we are not supporting Republicans this year:

First, here’s a quote from Winston Churchill: “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” That is where America finds itself today, in a war without an end.

Second, having a daughter, a granddaughter and daughter-in-law, we see no support for the release of the Epstein files.

Third, as retirees with Social Security being our main source of income, we find that the campaign promises during the last elections for improving the economy have fallen flat. There also is a lack of decorum in our elected officials, whom we expect to treat others as they want to be treated (do unto others).

And, finally, we quote Harry Truman on politicians: “Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I’ll show you a crook.”

That’s what is very wrong in Washington today and why we support @Hamilton4Kansas.

He will be a great senator for Kansas!”

(Gerry and Mary Lewis of Overland Park have been members of Resurrection since 2000. Both are area college graduates and have worked for Kansas City area major employers Sprint and Hallmark Cards.)

📺 Watch the dates. Listen to Roger Marshall’s own words. He sold out to Trump.

May 2019: Marshall acknowledged the distress facing farmers: “Bankruptcies are up, suicides are up.” He still expressed hope that Trump would lead them to victory.

September 2026: At the Kansas State Fair, Marshall declared, “These tariffs are working.” Later in that debate, he said farm bankruptcies were “down right now.”

October 2026: Marshall again insisted tariffs were working, citing growth at Kansas manufacturers including Great Plains Manufacturing in Salina.

Then the company spoke for itself.

Great Plains Manufacturing CFO Tim Henry told Kansas Reflector:

“But that growth was not because of tariffs.”

Henry explained that the company’s expansion came from capacity needs and market growth. Tariffs increased costs for steel and imported components, creating higher costs for the company, its dealers and customers including farmers.

Steel prices have exceeded $1,000 per ton for six months, something Henry said used to be a rarity.

That is a direct challenge to Marshall’s explanation from the very company he cited as evidence.

Marshall’s loyalty to Trump has remained consistent. But loyalty to a president does nothing to pay a farmer’s equipment bill or restore a manufacturer’s shrinking margins.

Kansans deserve a senator who listens when businesses explain the damage. Marshall keeps giving them a sales pitch for Trump.

@Janay_1985 Sorry it’s true - WSJ and Fox News are trashing your guy. But reading is hard.

[Moderate Kansas @ModerateKS]

📰 Roger Marshall is getting called out by the Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Board today.

The Oct 23, 2026 print headline: “Roger Marshall’s Giant Tax Increase.”

💰 The issue is Marshall’s support for eliminating the Social Security payroll tax cap, currently $184,500 in annual earnings. Here’s the board’s assessment:

“Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas is the latest to call for a giant tax increase even without any policy reform.”

“Mr. Marshall—the Republican, remember—came out in favor of what would be one of the largest peacetime tax increases in recent decades.”

“That would amount to a 12.4% marginal tax rate increase on workers above that amount—6.2% each on workers and their employers. It’d be a punitive tax on work.”

“Never mind that under the most optimistic assumptions, eliminating the cap wouldn’t come close to filling the entitlement’s funding gap. And that’s before accounting for the damage to the economy from pushing effective marginal income-tax rates on millions of earners above 60% in some states.”

“Mr. Marshall is trying to out-Democrat his Democratic opponent, Adam Hamilton.”

“Mr. Hamilton said at the same debate he’d support raising but not eliminating the payroll tax cap, which means he supports a smaller tax increase than the Republican in the race.”

“This is a political mistake for the ages because this debate is bigger than Social Security. In its impact on the federal budget and consequences for economic growth, Social Security reform may be the most important policy this year’s class of Senators will debate during their term. Why vote for Republicans if all you’ll get is left-wing, tax-and-spend economic policies masquerading as right-wing populism?”

Roger Marshall caught in another lie:
“A spokesperson for the business, however, denied U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall’s claim that tariffs were contributing to its growth.

Tim Henry, chief financial officer of Great Plains Manufacturing, said tariffs have constrained some of its competition related to one product area.

“That positive aspect, though, is not enough to offset the other burdens coming with tariffs today,” he told Kansas Reflector.”
