CHAPMAN Though the COVID-19 pandemic halted much of the entertainment industry around the world, one company in central Kansas is bringing the family entertainment of Branson, Mo., to homes across the Midwest and around the world.
BDS Productions will premiere the show We Are Branson and We Miss You on Jan. 30. Doug Thompson owns the company with his siblings Roger Thompson and Lynda Lowry, and it is named after their mother, Barbara Doris Stensaas. Doug Thompson said the company produced a similar broadcast last year filmed at Branson Country Music Hall. We took the talent, turned it into a program and released it, Thompson said. That went out to a potential audience of over 50 million.

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert speaks on the floor of the U.S. House during the debate on the second impeachment of President Donald Trump, Jan. 13, 2021.
It’s been less than two weeks since Republican Lauren Boebert took office.
But in Washington, she’s already found herself in the middle of a maelstrom of political anger and praise, from herself making unfounded claims of election fraud, to a gun-packing controversy, to what some say was an incitement to violence. And already there are calls for her to resign or be expelled from Congress.
The political newcomer, who has vowed to carry a gun while walking around in Washington, has long inspired excitement and anger. But since the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol last week, she’s come under new scrutiny especially from voters in her district. Some are standing behind her, and some are worried about the representative they have sent to Congress.

Colorado’s newest congress member is off to a rocky start.
Less than a week after being sworn in, freshman Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert is facing calls for her resignation or expulsion from Congress over tweets she sent on the day of the Capitol riot.
Boebert tweeted that members were locked in the House chamber and then, a minute later, that Speaker Nancy Pelosi “has been removed from the chambers.” Earlier in the day, she tweeted “Today is 1776,” which her critics view as a call for armed revolution.
The violent events that culminated in Wednesdayâs storming of the U.S. Capitol at the behest of President Donald Trump is exactly what former state Rep. Dan Thurlow feared would happen.
Thurlow, a Republican who represented Grand Junction in the Colorado House from 2015 to 2019, has spent the past several years since leaving office trying to save his political party from a growing division between far-right Trump supporters and what people on that side of the party called him and other GOP moderates, a RINO (Republican in name only).
Well, they canât call him that anymore.
Frustrated over what he couldnât accomplish within the party forced him to make a tough choice, to leave it.
