  • This is everything you need to know about Speaker Johnson’s leadership or, in this case, the lack thereof. Any person in a leadership position that intentionally blocks data or information from getting to decision-makers so they can make the most informed decisions with confidence is no leader at all.

  • I am confident that at some point in your life, your parents said something similar to “you are the company you keep.” I know I have said that to each of my kids at some point.

    I bring this up in the context of the people the president-elect has nominated for key positions in the government that we all have to live with. None of them have adequate experience for their future position, and most are incredibly reckless even by the president-elect’s standards.

    To be clear, if your senator votes to confirm these nominees, they are not representing you or their country. They are representing him, and we all will suffer the consequences.

  • The only “terrorist supporting organizations” I see in our local areas are the churches lining the main thoroughfare leading in and out of our area scaring members and neighbors into voting against women’s rights by intentionally spreading misinformation.

    Don’t be fooled. A government reliant on the dumbing down of society will use this law to crush education-focused organizations across this country.

  • Hello to all of my readers in the midwest and western United States! Remember, you still have plenty of time to vote. Your vote matters every single election. Get out there and have your voice be heard!

  • The big day is finally here, folks.

    Here in Missouri, we have an opportunity to restore reproductive rights to the women of our state, elect people of character to statewide offices, and elect judges who make judgements based on law instead of politics or religion.

    The big question is . . . are there enough people with the necessary judgement and character to actually make these things happen today?

    Get out and vote!

  • “A republic, if you can keep it.” Those were the words of Ben Franklin on the last day of the Constitutional Convention on September 17, 1787.

    With each election, we as a country have to ask ourselves this very question. Are we willing to do the work necessary to keep this uniquely American experiment alive for the next generation?

    I am concerned many of my fellow countrymen no longer have the capacity or education or care to understand what Ben Franklin meant by his response all of those years ago – that it takes a lot of effort for a democratic republic to be of service to all of its citizens. It’s not easy. We all have to do our part.

    I ask once again. Please vote if you haven’t already.

    Let’s make sure we prove that we are worthy to keep this republic.

  • Seriously, folks. We cannot elect this lunatic to lead 350 million people.

  • President Bush, it is well past time to get off the sidelines. It’s all hands on deck time for any hope of maintaining our great experiment.
