Who do you think has the best chance to challenge Donald Trump for the GOP presidential nomination?

The City of Cape Girardeau is considering a personal property tax increase to help increase compensation for police officers and firefighters. The proposal would amount to $0.25 for every $100 of assessed value in real estate and personal property taxes. Would you support this tax increase?

    Alexander Hamilton wants us all to eat turkey
    I watch a YouTube channel fairly regularly called Early American. It features a young lady named Justine, who lives in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, and in a very zen and peaceway way, cooks recipes from the late 1700s and early 1800s.
