Back in 1982, Van Halen asked us all a very thought-provoking question that is as relevant today as it was back in the early ‘80’s.

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.

On cool fall nights like this, I do really enjoy using our Solo Stove Mesa on our aluminum deck table. My only issue with it is that the stand should absolutely have more than four legs. It should have at least six, if not eight, legs to keep it super stable. We are talking about a live fire after all in very close proximity to a tabletop and people.
I know Solo Stove makes a ton of money on their accessories, but if they wanted to put all other smokeless fire pits out of business, they would design the product with a stable, built-in heat deflector. Let’s face it. Without the heat deflector, all of the heat from a smokeless fire pit goes straight up to keep the air hot enough to eliminate the smoke. Building in the deflector is the next logical evolution if you ask me.

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.

Last night’s Youth Be Heard Create-A-Thon was inspiring and very fun all at the same time. It was great to read the writings of young people and see their incredible artwork. They even got me to beatbox a little bit for charity!
Please read about what this local organization is doing to support youth in the St. Louis metro region and provide support if you are so inclined.

Absolutely incredible St. Louis Metro District Honor Choir performance yesterday afternoon! Bringing together the best artists from across the region can only produce amazing results. The best part for me was hearing how excited our son was to be able to sing in such a talented choir. We definitely heard some future music majors in that bunch, and I hope this experience inspires our son to try out again next year.

If Americans prioritized historical education and critical thinking, many more of us would understand why those that did not vote for Trump are terrified about what is about to happen to us. History has already written the outcome. History knows what will happen next. We do indeed deserve everything that is going to come our way.
