Everyone should pay their taxes...that’s not a partisan position -- Posted by asdfjk on Fri, May 7, 2021, at 8:03 PM

Exactly my point. Too bad you missed it. Your democrat party cohorts don't think so.

They think if you have a "D" behind your name and you failed to pay twice as much in taxes as this guy it's OK. If you have an "R" behind your name and you don't pay $1 in taxes you must go to jail.

What do you say to your democrat friends who excuse their politicians? I don't excuse any of it.

Guess who the first commenter to bring party affiliation up was...ding ding ding! Dude, pick your battles. News flash, there are people out there who are Democrats and Republicans and libertarians and Green Party members who are bad people. That’s not news to anybody. Everyone should pay their taxes...that’s not a partisan position

Claire McCaskill's tax owed was property tax owed for a plane, not taxes on income. She was not billed for the property tax and paid it when she found that she owed it. -- Posted by Thinking for myself on Fri, May 7, 2021, at 2:08 PM

How about all the facts?

First - taxes are not collected on property unless you report it. She intentionally did NOT report her private airplane. Trying to smooth over her failure to pay TWICE as much taxes with just a slap on the wrist vs. Barkladge is biased.

So with you I guess that there are taxes that are OK to skip and other taxes that are not? I thought taxes were all "taxes"?

You guys will do and say anything to cover for your dirty democrats.

Does anyone know where some good entertainment is for people age 50+ ? I’m bored with the second year of this nonsense.

The truth is , you know nothing about posters personal lives , what they believe , or what they do . You are using this sickness as pretext to attack those you perceive to be Conservatives , you have no proof of anything or your allegations of anyone .

Not_sorry hasn't killed or harmed anyone . Neither have I . No other poster has either no matter how much you rant and rave . You have no idea , it's baseless , it's false , and it can be seen through like a cheap Dollar General step ladder .

Now if you'll excuse me , I'm done with the non-sense because I'm sure you will continue with this charade , a political hack and a political troll .

This has the potential to reach far into the recesses of the MO Republican Party and become the most significant story in the annals of MO political history.

But again I suspect that you have the ability or the intelligence to understand that.

That is because people have been taking the vaccine. But because of anti-vaxxers those gains will be earased. As along as thier are enough non-vaccinated people for COVID-19 to sprend through, the more the virus mutates until it becomes resistant to the current vaccines. The only way that, that could of been prevented is for us to get to herd immunity. Which most medical experts say will likely not happen, so expect COVID-19 to respond stronger then ever in the Fall.

There are now fewer than 2,000 new confirmed coronavirus cases a day on average over the past week in California, a huge drop from about 45,000 cases a day at the peak of the surge in December and January. About 65 Californians have died every day from COVID-19 over the last week — the kinds of numbers not seen in six months — down from a peak of 562 deaths a day in January.

Is that a yes or a no .

Good!

Time to get all of our kids and teachers out of these masks. The choice should be left up to them. And there are many kids of all ages, and teachers, that would choose to wear them if they wanted. But it never should be mandatory.

Claire McCaskill's tax owed was property tax owed for a plane, not taxes on income. She was not billed for the property tax and paid it when she found that she owed it.

You never disappoint. I put that baiting definition there with you in mind. And you bit.

Hilarious!

A couple of things have puzzled me from the beginning by officials reporting statistics to the public about Covid-19. We always hear about the number of "new active coronavirus cases." The numbers are rarely broken down by how many of those cases show no, some, severe, or serious enough symptoms that require hospitalization. Why is that? I believe I know the answer, but why aren't officials pressed by the press to give us the entire story? Otherwise, these reports of "new cases" could possibly be construed to scare or manipulate some in the public to do something they may later regret.

Not sorry: As always, not giving a rodent’s Gluteus maximus what you think, I invite you to buy a motorcycle, minus the helmet of course, take a crowded steamer to India, and ride your heart out. Preferably in the crowded urban areas.

Conservatives are the biggest spreaders of COVID-19, that is a fact.

According to the state’s covid dashboard, Missouri’s population aged 0-17 has experienced 54,695 confirmed cases of covid and 4 deaths, for a confirmed case fatality rate of 0.0073% (73 out of 1,000,000). Notice, that rate is a ceiling, not a floor, since the actual number of cases is higher (and probably much much higher) than the number of confirmed cases; thus the instance fatality rate is presumably lower, and possibly much much lower.

n_s the undisputed king of BS has spoken again. This time it's on whataboutism which was the crux of his comment. Hilarious.

Motorcycle accident deaths are on the rise in Missouri because of a helmet law passed for political reasons. -- Posted by Wilburn Richardson on Fri, May 7, 2021, at 6:32 AM

I'd love to see the research on the "political reasons" you stated here. Surely that's not just another conservative-bashing opinion you have Wilburn? Let's see, Illinois has a no helmet law and they are as socialist / marxist as you'll find... now where's "the beef" to back up your statement Wilburn?

Wilburn, good for you. Those are your choices. Welcome to the USA.

The Old Senile Demented One's plan won't help infrastructure or the environment but will secure more boughten votes for the Democrats thus in their minds continue the movement to Socialism.

btw..trial by media is never a good thing either..

However, if you think it does, in fact, swing the same for everyone you really haven't been paying much attention to the world at large and the US specifically.

Motorcycle accident deaths are on the rise in Missouri because of a helmet law passed for political reasons. Covid-19 is on the increase, and scores have already died because of the same misguided politics. I guess if political gain justifies higher death tolls, and some are willing to sacrifice themselves for the the sake of others political gain, I’m not going to oppose them. Good luck with that. Personally, I’m vaccinated, and don’t ride without a helmet. I call that common sense.

Covid lover.... you need a lot of help. So sad to see your lonely echo comments of hate daily. Sad.

Whataboutism will not save this scandal from having a rippling effect never seen in the annals of MO political history.

Maybe he'll get lucky and get the same treatment Democrat Senator Claire McCaskill got when she was in office and failed to pay taxes. She had to pay $287,273 in four years of back taxes. The taxes and fines she failed to pay were more than double what this guy is being hit with.

I believe she got a slap on the wrist and was forced to pay those taxes plus a small fine.

Or maybe like our Democrat green czar John Kerry? He had a $7 million yacht built and hid it in Rhode Island to avoid paying high taxes in his home state of Massachusetts. From CNN: "Sen. John Kerry will voluntarily pay $500,000 in taxes to the state of Massachusetts - a move that forestalls a potential investigation into whether the Bay State's senior senator attempted to evade the hefty levy by docking his $7 million yacht in Rhode Island."

Another slap on the wrist.

Justice is blind, eh?

I don't know him or anything about his politics but I believe he is "indicted" and innocent until proven guilty.

I'll wait for the judge and jury to decide.

Gov. Parson has done a great job handling this. Excellent decision.

I tried Port Cape ribs a couple of times. They were pedestrian at best. Heck I thought Ruby Tuesday’s ribs were better. Smoke House 61 has best BBQ in town including ribs IMO. Pilot House has great BBQ sandwiches.

Great review. Gus's is a must whenever I'm in Memphis. It's also one of those rare places where the atmosphere in the suburban locations is every bit as good as the original downtown restaurant.

The Gus's in the St. Louis suburb of Maplewood is also very good for those who prefer traveling in that direction, though I prefer the Southern hospitality of Memphis whenever I get the chance to go there.

Thank goodness the governors are starting to put an end to this Marxist power grab. Thank you Mr Parson.

Nope, you are fighting for the virus.

Yep, with giving every man, women, and child $1400 each, giving the "unemployed" more money to stay home than to actually work, having the news media in love, and promoting the "woke" syndrome, the Old Senile Demented One should have an approval rating over 70%. Let's see how that approval rating goes once Americans feel the effects of inflation and all the new taxes coming their way in order to pay for all of the trillions in new spending by the "big guy".

Excellent decision Governor! Keep fighting the fight for us true Missourians who are fighting the fight against this virus & the Marxists here at home!

578 Thousand deaths to me IS NO JOKE and my hearts goes out to those families who lost loved ones during this pandemic. I am NOT sugarcoating that fact. I do know what I am talking about, because I have spent my ENTIRE adult life in medicine, I am a COVID-19 Survivor AND I am fully vaccinated! Yet, I see these doggone Leftists attempt to chastise me telling me I don't know what I am talking about. This is the main reason why I go after you Marxists, because I am not scared of y'all! You bring it, I am bringing it, that's the way I see it! Get used to it, because there are plenty more people out here just like me, who are sick and tired of this crap by Narcissistic bureaucrats & academia who think they are smarter than everybody else. To be honest, I think the CCP, Fauci, Birx, and Gates have blood on their hands and should be held accountable for their actions! Fauci knew that the Trump Administration was going to be faced with a worldwide pandemic back on January 11, 2017 at a conference at Georgetown University!

Thank you Mr. Vines for being flexible and your continued support of Optimist Youth in Government Day.

New roads are paved for new revenue which a city needs to thrive. There has to be a balance b/t allocating new build and repairing old.

I don’t think you will find many cities that don’t have similar scenario’s with road breakdown. Yet, infrastructure repair is opportunity for jobs and is tax money well spent.

One problem Cape has is the growing percentage of population that pays virtually nothing in tax, outside of consumption tax. You have to pay to play. Let’s keep the vitality in, and opportunity for our workforce. With people working the resources to fix the roads will become easier to obtain.

TTF has been around for over 20 years and spent over 20 million dollars and yet major roads are still in bad shape. To many side streets are being done as well as sidewalks and street lights. Also too much money is being spent on new roads while existing roads continue to crumble. Poor management

Just walk on Abbey and Kenneth to know the truth about this report. Cape roads are a disgrace.

578 thousand United States citizens dead is not a lie -- Posted by Candor on Wed, May 5, 2021, at 6:02 AM

It's not a fact either and you can't prove it is. So many people who were already terminally ill or died with other causes have been factually listed as "covid related" deaths to get the numbers up and get federal money.

Many people were scheduled for Covid tests who decided not to show up and then received a report back that they were "covid positive" yet never took the test.

These are facts we've all heard and have been shown on the national news.

Some more facts Candor? Democrats states with the biggest lockdowns had more deaths than those that stayed open. Democrat governors Cuomo and Whitmer factually are responsible for the deaths of 1000's of seniors when they packed sick covid patients into elderly rest homes.

===

Anyone who claims "Hillary won" or "Trump/Russia" isn't going to listen to the facts anyway.

Stigg beat me to answering VintageHale88. VH88, a big part of the problem is that the City did not require the right foundation for its streets until 2010. We don't need to be engineers to know that anything will crumble if it isn't built on the right foundation. They discussed this in the presentation, too. Our Engineer said it was "detrimental to our roadways" here: https://youtu.be/HxVFHEhNXCE?t=80

You don't what your talking about.

I live in the other 3 percent too. Lynnwood Hills off of Rt W has been "patched" several times since I have lived out here. As you enter the subdivision, before you get to the bridge there are two big potholes that have been patched several times and before the week is out, they are back to where they were before the patch job, About a year ago I saw concrete slabs being replaced on Mt Auburn Road. I figure it's more costly to do this but when does one over ride the cost when it has to be repeatedly patched? We have a lot of truck traffic because we are a transient area. I am tired of having my tires balanced and aligned.

And nobody would dare go to a city council meeting to complain about the streets(they probably would not be allowed to speak)so,the next time the council wants ttf renewed vote no.

The People of China have been wearing masks for decades due to smog , air pollution , and poor air quality . This "virus" originated in China then spread world wide . What exactly are masks stopping ?

Here it is 2 years , over 500,000 dead Americans , and $6,000,000,000,000 dollar$ later , and the People still don't know what's going on -- the truth .
