Trump is an albatross around the neck of the Republican Party. If it nominates him for president, he will lose. If it doesn’t, he will run as an independent or do everything he can to take Republican candidates down all over the country, including the Republican nominee for president. What stuns me is the widespread belief that Trump would not do something like that to the Republican Party. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/02/trump-arsonist-turns-his-own-p...

Don’t recall any mention or uproar about those. -- Posted by Thinking for myself on Sun, Feb 5, 2023, at 7:15 PM

If you would have read the rest of the story on that you'd realize that not a single person in the Trump administration was ever told. And, in fact, the Biden military leaders revealed that they didn't know it either... until today.

Fuel will NOT go back to Trump time levels until the Democratic liberals are out of the Oval Office. There is not one person in the Biden Administration that has ANY backbone. No one fears or respects our country anymore.

It is comical the number of car washes we have! There is going to be so many that none of them are successful.

I cannot imagine this town needs another car wash. Is there some kind of federal grant causing the proliferation? Seems odd.

News sources say at least 3 Chinese balloons invaded United States airspace during the Trump administration. Don’t recall any mention or uproar about those.

One step closer to being the first town in America to have a car wash on every corner!

Just what the city needs...

Concerned that all the hoopla with progress and moving forward has overshadowed the basic maintenance and upkeep activities for sustaining.

Street condition has been mentioned in a previous comment, but also concerned here with utilities infrastructure as experienced with the widespread water outage, as well as enforcement of the ordinances and lower-level violations such as with property upkeep and non-road-worthy vehicles due to defects, illegal modifications, or expired licensing.

All towards an idea of staying on top of the small stuff before it becomes the big show-stopping stuff.

And yet, the streets all over town are filled with potholes! Patch material is constantly applied and subsequently washed out in no time at all. Fix the streets, please!

Trump on Putin plan to recognize breakaway Ukraine regions: ‘This is genius’

As Balloonapolooza winds down, it's noteworthy how utterly irrational many were acting -- Posted by Wilbur Right on Sun, Feb 5, 2023, at 11:57 AM

The only people acting irrational on here was you and your democrat friends Masterson and Lettau. As I said before:

It is really interesting to see the loud, proud Biden supporters of 3 years ago squirm and deflect as if Biden has nothing to do with our disastrous economy and the war in Ukraine. Won't work on here Wilburn. -- Posted by not_sorry on Sun, Feb 5, 2023, at 10:16 AM

"There was absolutely no reason that the situation currently happening in Ukraine should have happened at all.”

“Russia has become very very rich during the Biden Administration, with oil prices doubling and soon to be tripling and quadrupling,” he said. “The weak sanctions are insignificant relative to taking over a country and a massive piece of strategically located land.”

Diseased Turtle, you left the above portion out of your hit piece....I wonder why? Didn't suit your agenda I guess. LOL

"This is genius , Putin declared a big portion of … Ukraine … as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful. … I said, ‘How smart is that?’ And he’s going to go in and be a peacekeeper. That’s strongest peace force. … We could use that on our southern border. That’s the strongest peace force I’ve ever seen. There were more army tanks than I’ve ever seen. They’re going to keep the peace all right. Here’s a guy who’s very savvy … I know him very well. Very, very well.”

~~ Donald J. Trump

FEBRUARY 22, 2022

Mr. Williams,

Putin has always had Trump in his pocket, and Xi laughed at his antics orchestrated by KJ Un.

Neither respected nor feared Trump.

Do you actually believe the Trump could have been able to organize and expand NATO in opposition to Putin?

Untill next time..

As Balloonapolooza winds down, it's noteworthy how utterly irrational many were acting on twitter and other social forums. Politicians posing with AR-15s pointed at the sky are just not serious people. Performative theater, irrational insecurities, what ever the cause, it frankly was inexcusable. Surely we can do better. Shoot it down! They demanded. Even the President wanted that initially. Thankfully, our military and intelligence communities had cooler heads, lots of smarts, and a plan. They picked the pockets of the Chinese, stripping the intruder of it’s digital secrets, preventing it from eavesdropping, and shot it down when it was safe to do so, at the same time facilitating the salvage of additional intelligence material. Kudos to our military and intelligence communities, and thank goodness the amateur hour photo op seeking, shoot first and think later crowd, didn’t get anyone killed or hurt.

"orange hair! orange hair! mean tweets! mean tweets!"

______________

What's your obsession with the color orange , who does mean tweets ?

n=s..BrahmaBS and Proud PP......if Biden told you not to eat the yellow snow, you'd defy him and dive right in.

Maybe, given his mush brain, that yellow is probably just ground up Corn Pops.

Would you rather spend $133 bil stopping Putin now in Ukraine, or Waite and spend half a trillion defending Poland later? -- Posted by Wilbur Right on Sun, Feb 5, 2023, at 10:04 AM

I would rather you and others had common sense enough to vote for a man with "orange hair! orange hair! mean tweets! mean tweets!" who was very clear to China and Russia he wasn't going to stand down to their belligerence. And who also didn't take the worlds most powerful military in the world and weaken it with democrat support woke theories and policies. Our military has been severely weakened and thinned thanks to your vote for Joe Biden.

It is really interesting to see the loud, proud Biden supporters of 3 years ago squirm and deflect as if Biden has nothing to do with our disastrous economy and the war in Ukraine.

You people bought and pushed the now proven lie of Trump and Russia collusion. You also bought and pushed the lie that Hunter's laptop was "Russian disinformation". Why would anyone trust your terrible judgement or opinions today?

Won't work on here Wilburn.

No cover up intended. Spent is spent, allocated is allocated. Would you rather spend $133 bil stopping Putin now in Ukraine, or Waite and spend half a trillion defending Poland later?

Ukraine of today is the Poland of 1939. If we don’t stand our ground their, and allow a maniacal dictator to have his way, history will repeat itself. -- Posted by Wilbur Right on Sun, Feb 5, 2023, at 5:43 AM

Unfortunately Biden of today is the Neville Chamberlain of 1939 and his weakness, corruption and monies collected from China, Russia and Ukraine have comprised the people of America and encourage Putin and Xi to be aggressive and plan attacks like Ukraine and soon-to-be Taiwan. Biden has encouraged aggressive communists dictators and you want to blame Americans?

Who voted for this corrupt inept man? Not me. YOU encouraged people to vote for Biden daily... and now you try and deflect blame to others. Own this Wilburn.

Don't shoot that balloon down over Montana out of concern for the public's safety , a piece might fall and hit somebody on the ground . But as soon as it hits the Carolina shore line shoot it down like pieces of the balloon couldn't fall on yachts , fishing boats , or coast line cites .

The American People aren't stuqid .

Michael M- you do an excellent job showing your ignorance each post you make. It’s also worth a good laugh! Thx!

President Biden authorized this on Wednesday but deferred to his military advisors who told him it would be best to wait until it wasn’t over U. S. territory. -- Posted by Marshall Law on Sat, Feb 4, 2023, at 3:57 PM

A President , as Commander-in-Chief of America , makes the final call as to Defense of Country , they don't use the military as an excuse , they use it as a tool .

See John F. Kennedy .

************

Had the President been Trump , he would have said , "China's President XI is a good friend of mine and I believe him when he says it's a weather ballon gone off track . The "fake news" media has become the biggest witch hunt against me in the history of America ."

They should have shot it down over Frohna.

That might had rid us of one fascist.

n=s..BrahmaBS and Proud PP......if Biden told you not to eat the yellow snow, you'd defy him and dive right in.

Marshall Law, you really are a special kind of st...d. Scary thing is you actually believe that.

Make that $113 billion approved and will be spent in Defense of the Ukraine by the USA!

Https://www.crfb.org/blogs/congress-approved-113-billion-aid-ukraine-2022

Thank you sir for your service and dedication to our great country.... You ARE a hero!!

Wilbur Right this is February 2023 add in the $50 more billion in 2023 with Tanks and Missile Defense systems in route.....good job of covering up the facts!

$50 billion to protect the Ukraine's Eastern border but how much to protect America's Southern border . How much have the other NATO members added to the kitty , is this War with Russia by proxy . America now has illegal immigrants from the Northern and Southern borders .

Aid to Ukraine since the Russian invasion of the Crimea in 2014 has been $50 billion not $100 billion as of the end of 2022. China is watching very closely to see if the west folds in Ukraine with an eye to what they can expect if they should invade Taiwan. This is no time for faint hearts. Ukraine of today is the Poland of 1939. If we don’t stand our ground their, and allow a maniacal dictator to have his way, history will repeat itself.

This was an intelligence fiasco for the Chinese, and an intelligence coup for the United States. These balloons have been sighted before over Guam and Hawaii during past administrations including Trump’s. This is the first time one has been exploited for it’s intelligence value, shot down, and it’s payload potentially recovered for further exploitation.

“US officials say they were able to block the balloon from gathering intel during its overflight of the US, while the US military was able to turn the tables, so to speak, to gather intel on the balloon itself and its equipment.

There's a certain . . .  let’s say political and information value in letting the Chinese know that we've seen this or watching it, and which also I think will make them think that we're also trying to potentially exploit the situation and understand better their surveillance techniques and capabilities," Matt McInnis, Senior Fellow for the Institute for the Study of War’s China program, told Fox News Digital.”

Couple things could most probably be human nature .

~ China now knows it can occupy American airspace anytime it wants , it is now .

~Other Nations know they can occupy American airspace anytime now .

~A President is the Commander-in-Chief and the overwhelming part of that is Defense of Country , Joe Biden is a very unqualified Commander-in-Chief .

**************

IMO..The big question is still why at this time . That's a floating hot air balloon , it took a long time to float from China to America . Seems like the US of A would have been tracking this from the get-go and shot it down before now . So what's the purpose of the timing to now...

For Wilburn Right who continually gets it wrong. Our resident "student of history" and "pre-law" man botched his assessment of the balloon for "weather" purposes or the fact that they are old technology and useless:

"Balloons offer advantages over the use of satellites or drones,” James Rogers, an academic at Cornell and the University of Southern Denmark, who advises the U.N. Security Council on the transnational threat of drones, said in an email."

President Biden authorized this on Wednesday but deferred to his military advisors who told him it would be best to wait until it wasn’t over U. S. territory. -- Posted by Marshall Law on Sat, Feb 4, 2023, at 3:57 PM

Marshall Law aka "Dr." Marat aka Kirkegaard aka Roy Mercer and many other names...

this SPY satellite was first detected off the Alaskan coast near the AMERICAN Aleutian Islands and our military informed Biden of that. It should have been shot down then.

But you and your democrat friends elected a corrupt and comprised man who owes the communist Chinese politicians a lot of money. So they let it drift all the way down the Canadian coast and across some of our most sensitive military and nuclear sites.

No excuses by a sock-puppet on here will dismiss the fact that this was another absolute terrible handling of a professed enemy. Just like the disastrous Afghanistan debacle when Biden got 13 Americans killed.

I agree completely. Former president trump needs to get rid of his attitude and realize there can be more than him considered for president. I like trumps policy as it got America back on track after 8 LONG years of George soros. If Trump could just run on his policy and not his ego.

Do you “really” think Biden has a clue as to what was going on? On this matter Hunter probably told dad to step back until China had what they wanted and then act like he did the presidential thing and shot it down. This group is sooooo predictable.

It was destroyed after it had finished gathering and transmitting information back to China. I guess XI was finished with it and gave permission to down it.

Did they destroy another building chopping a needless hole in the roof? Cape FD's way of making sure a building gets condemned from any fire no matter how small it is. I just hope they don't kill a fireman up on some roof when they fall through from their needless, primitive, totally destructive and unnecessary ventilation techniques.

When you watch them send men up on a dangerous roof and cut a huge hole in it after the fire is totally out, and the smoke is gone, you realise someone needs to get it together. I saw another roof where they cut two huge holes in it side by side for no good reason.

And yes. I do understand ventilation on fires. But this stuff is not right. I will credit the city fire department though. They do a good job on making your employees toe the line. They just look at you and grin when you try to talk to them about this. Well trained. If you like your job, shut up.

President Biden authorized this on Wednesday but deferred to his military advisors who told him it would be best to wait until it wasn’t over U. S. territory. The president took the advice and acted in a wise and prudent manner. Populist demagogues such as Hawley and Schmidt were practicing government by Twitter in calling for its destruction while it was over MO.

What proof do you have it was not a weather balloon big mouth? -- Posted by Michael Masterson on Sat, Feb 4, 2023, at 2:24 PM

Your president Biden, democrat party leader Masterson. You gonna raise money off this for the party?

Why is the city dragging its feet on this? The fire was almost two years ago. "The city issued a notice for demolition bids at the end of January", about time. This has been an eye sore for too long. The leaning fence looks terrible. Maybe city council people need to drive by it. I question if it has been stabilized every time I drive by.

What proof do you have it was not a weather balloon big mouth?

NONE

the knucklehead act by the Chinese -- Posted by Wilbur Right on Sat, Feb 4, 2023, at 5:43 AM

As predicted: -- Posted by Wilbur Right on Sat, Feb 4, 2023, at 1:50 PM

You defended the Chinese "weather balloon" twice... suddenly you realize the error of your ways.

Now do the hard work and ask why didn't the Biden administration should down this SPY BALLOON when it crossed over the open water days ago when it went over our sovereign territory of the Aleutian Islands?

That $1.5 BILLION the Biden's got (including Joe "the big guy") is paying off well for the Chinese. Who would have voted for this corrupt president?

You.

As predicted:

US military has shot down the Chinese spy balloon off US East Coast, US official says.

As we speak, the balloon is being shadowed by American fighter jets as it crosses over the Carolinas and heads out to sea. Then an attempt will likely be made to destroy it. This vehicle has been transmitting continuously, and those transmissions have been monitored by our intelligence community. Experts may find the data gathered by monitoring it very useful.

Kim (a think tank guy) called it a “real possibility” -- Posted by Wilbur Right on Sat, Feb 4, 2023, at 1:33 PM

Wow. Now that's some science-based information... a "real possibility" from a think tank?

Let's try the Biden administration - you know, the guy you voted for and support on here daily:

NBC: "Biden says U.S. is 'gonna take care' of Chinese SPY balloon"

CNN: "Biden: ‘We’re gonna take care’ of spy balloon"

AP: "Biden administration weighing plans to down Chinese spy balloon"

===

Why do you defend communists Mr. "student of history" Wilburn? Your source for posting here is a think-tank guy who says it is a real POSSIBILITY it's a weather balloon?

Stick to selling pre-arranged funerals. It's the only thing you know for sure.

And then there are those who study such things:

William Kim, a specialist in surveillance balloons at the Marathon Initiative think tank in Washington had this to say:

Could it have entered US airspace by accident?

Kim called it a “real possibility” that a Chinese balloon may have been intended to collect data from outside US boundaries or much higher but malfunctioned.

“These balloons don’t always work perfectly,” he said.

The balloons usually operate at altitudes of 65,000-100,000 feet (20-30 kilometers), and this one is at around 46,000 feet, he said. That’s definitely a little low... If you wanted it to be harder to spot, if you want it to be harder to shoot down, then it would make sense to operate at higher altitudes.”

Why can’t the US shoot it down?

Shooting down a balloon is not as easy as it sounds, said Kim.

“These balloons use helium... It’s not the Hindenburg, you can’t just shoot it and then it goes up in flames.”

“If you do punch holes in it, it’s just kind of going to leak out very slowly.”

Kim recalled that in 1998 the Canadian air force sent up F-18 fighter jets to try and shoot down a rogue weather balloon.

“They fired a thousand 20-millimeter cannon rounds into it. And it still took six days before it finally came down. These are not things that explode or pop when you shoot at them.”

He said it was not clear if using surface-to-air missiles would work, because their guidance systems are designed to hit fast-moving missiles and aircraft.

Let’s call their bluff. Nothing in China is truly “civilian”. I’d be happy never seeing a “made in China” label again.

In the news today... the Biden administration thinks the Masterson and Wilburn clowns are wrong:

"Senior State Department officials disputed that claim, identifying it as Chinese surveillance craft and calling its presence in U.S. airspace an "unacceptable" violation of American sovereignty."

Folks, I cannot express enough how fortunate we are to have our own resident astro physicist rocket scientist. -- Posted by Michael Masterson on Sat, Feb 4, 2023, at 12:16 PM

Like anyone should take the advice of a guy who worships Joe Biden and raised money for the democrat party?

You said Trump colluded with Russia - wrong.

You said the Hunter Biden laptop was "Russian disinformation" - wrong.

You said Biden and Fauci were right to close our schools and masks worked - wrong... even Fauci and the CDC research says they didn't work.

===

And anyone should believe you? The fact that you disagree with my observations about China - common information for the rest of us - is just an affirmation that I'm right. Because you are wrong every time.

Another republican solution for a non-existent problem.

Jamie Burger said some of the issues used through the referendum process should have been handled through the legislature.

The reason for the referendums is due to the fact the legislature would not act and fought the referendums whole heartedly.

A few of those issues are:

Right To Work

Medicaid expansion

Medical marijuana

Recreational marijuana.

We elect our politicians with either a plurality or majority so just leave this referendum process as it is.

Folks, I cannot express enough how fortunate we are to have our own resident astro physicist rocket scientist.

I'm referring to the amazing not_sorry.

I'm always in awe where he comes up with some of his BS?

Got to admit, the guy is entertaining.

And you continue to ignore the homeless problem in the area. How many froze to death during this last storm? Not one time did I see any mention of warming centers open in Cape.

These balloons are only nominally maneuverable, and of limited effectiveness. -- Posted by Wilbur Right on Sat, Feb 4, 2023, at 5:43 AM

Says who - Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar?

The Chinese have advanced hypersonic missiles, landed a spacecraft on the dark side of the moon (a first), have 100's of satellites in space and are expanding their influence and power around the world.

Not surprised you'd dismiss a far-left communist regime since you support one in this country. Or make excuses for the lame administration whose focus on our military is filling it full of people just because they check a box on the democrat agenda and CRT lectures.

This democrat-described "Chinese weather balloon" is just 12 miles above the earth. The lowest satellites go around the earth every 90 minutes at about 160 miles above the earth to stay in orbit.

This low altitude and slow progression can permit unbelievable close surveillance and follow wind patterns to possible drop deadly viruses undetected. They are conducting a test and your response to defend Biden is "Chines are old and antiquated".

Yep - the Democratic Party was created in the early 1790s founded by influential Anti-Federalists including Thomas Jefferson and James Madison and separated in the 1800's to form it's own party.

The same Democratic Party that fought for slavery against Republican president Abraham Lincoln.

The same Democratic Party that fought against civil rights and integration in the 20th century.

Looks like Wilburn's logic applies well to the party you both cling to.

There are plenty of local residents that have the resources and attitude to improve a property like this and enjoy rehabbing/growing Cape. They’re also smart people and know a bad investment when they see one. I’d say there are multiple people waiting for this to be demolished so they can jump in and build something new that will improve the quality of life and aesthetics of downtown Cape. Is it a shame that we can’t restore this historic building? Yes. Is it time to let it go and allow for a new development? Also yes.

We miss the predominently Thai restaurant on Broadway & the Indian restaurant in the Mall. It's now an hours drive to Carbondale to enjoy these two ethnic cuisines.

It is interesting that the Bubble and the Jefferson pool are mentioned as accomplishments. Both are guaranteed to be money pits. Historically, the Bubble has never come close to breaking even, costing the city millions over time.The Jefferson pool was built to pacify the CPS people, with no other demonstrated need. Maybe there should have been a category called "Fooled Ya!"

But don't forget it is a business.

Typical foot dragging! They threw TIF money at the Esquire, even cut corners with the process, and "buyer" didn't even have all the property needed to make it work. I'm sure the city is waiting to throw TIF money at the Broadway.

In this day and time, can you imagine what the Chinese or Russians would do if some type of surveillance device “accidentally”(haha) flew into their airspace from the USA? I promise you it would get more attention from their president/dictator than it got from dementia Biden.

100 Billion of USA Taxpayers' money so far to fight Russia indirectly while the USA Number one enemy China is allowed to grow militarily per the Woke Biden/Harris Administration and our Woke Military Leadership!! God Help the USA!

Any Republican candidate elected in 2024 for President would be better than any Democratic candidate for President.....period end of discussion!!

President Joe Biden told Steamfitters Local 602 last week: "As long as I'm president, no one making less than $400,000 will have a single penny of their taxes raised. Period." Betsy McCaughey

The Biden Inflation Tax of the last 1.5 years of 6% or greater is a hit on All Americans....the Senile Demented Resident of the White House Nursing Home Joe Biden doesn't know what the heck he is talking about!!

Maybe for once the Board will demand that this new leader actually LIVE in the district so their kids attend Cape Public Schools. None of the other administrators do so.

Biden is scared that if he blows it up then China will take it out of his allowance!

There are 8 billion People living on this spinning rock now . Only 350 million People out of that 8 billion are privileged enough to live in America , the odds are staggering . And half of those 350 million People who are privileged enough to live in America are going to ruin everything for the other half. (select the half of your choosing).

Smile . Wave . Say ,"Cheese!" .

Well the citizens get to see them this time , usually they're as quiet as a Church mouse.

At 5:30 pm yesterday it was just north of Cape. Very visible from my house in north Cape.

In the 1940s and 50s, the United States had a project called skyhook which used high altitude balloons for surveillance. Our government also passed those balloons off as weather balloons. With the advent of satellite reconnaissance, the project was abandoned. These balloons are only nominally maneuverable, and of limited effectiveness. The Chinese currently have an extensive satellite reconnaissance program, so it is curious that they would employ this old technology. Should it be shot down? According to air force experts,, it would be very difficult to do, and potentially very dangerous to civilians. The equipment bay is the size of three city buses, and weighs many tons. If it plummets to Earth from an altitude in excess of 50,000 ft, it would pose a serious risk to life and property for miles around. Given that, and it’s limited effectiveness, it’s probably better to milk the propaganda value of the knucklehead act by the Chinese, and if the opportunity arises to shoot it down safely, do so.

"They don't make them like they used to..." Not always, but sometimes, thank God they don't.

Looks like our self-proclaimed "student of history" just gave a perfect opinion that aligns with democrats in the South in the 1850's who justified slavery.

It's been around since humans have existed and it isn't going away. I always wondered how people could justify slavery, murder, racism, anything. You just gave the perfect excuse for such terrible behavior.

The Biden’s, all of them are probably more corrupt than the Clinton’s were. The pathetic thing is the “big man” doesn’t have a clue what’s going on. But I guess with his ever increasing dementia, he doesn’t really worry about it. His wife probably worries enough for both of them.

In recent months the Esquire has had the asbestos remove and more recently a new roof installed!

Today as i drove past the Old Broadway the front is starting to bow outward! Going to fall soon!

The libertarian side of me is happy but I’m concerned, marijuana is not a harmless drug with no side effects. Like any drug or alcohol it changes brain chemistry and causes damage. Especially in those under the age of 25 with not fully developed brain!

Be responsible and use it in moderation.

"...they hope to name a new superintendent by the end of February."

Kinda wonder whether there may not already be a 'stalking horse' candidate in the queue, with any job search done just to see if there may be anyone better out there?

In the final analysis, it doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court, Congress, the President, state lawmakers, the Pope, you, me, or Anyone else thinks about abortion. It has been around since humans have existed, and it isn’t going away. So preach, scream, protest, commit violence, stand on you head singing glory Hallelujah naked. It isn’t going away. If you can’t deal with that, find another planet.

Thinking outside the box...

Perhaps the owners of the continually problematic rental property at 2070 N. Sprigg could buy one of the theatres and turn it into an ice cream shoppe.

Profits would then be turned over to the City towards offsetting the costs of the way-excessive LEO, fire, and medical calls demanded by their tenants.

An idea here that goes beyond epic, to the point of being called LegendDairy... ar, ar, ar, I crack myself up. :-)~

I agree, parking is a problem. In my opinion the Broadway theater is beyond repair but if the esquire was redone and it offered good entertainment/food, people will find a place to park. We eat at restaurants in St. Louis that are in residential areas and people have no problem parking on side streets and walking to their desired destination.

Unfortunately, the Esquire and Broadway Theatres will be rehabilitated when donkeys fly. A shame, but slanted floors and repairs deem them unusable without millions of investment. Then? What’s the return on investment? Without parking, this generation will have no interest.

The are people are nuts! They are looking for peace and healing in the wrong place!

It is very obvious p kamath is a hate filled person who is obsessed with trashing anything that doesn’t start with “lib”. I wonder how many people he tried to brainwash when he was practicing his occupation? A person like this does not need to be working with any kind of mental problem person when he has so many problems himself. I agree, maybe his home country did kick him out.

Yes….had Omar confused with AOC, but they are 2 peas in a pod…neither should be included in special committees as neither can be trusted.

Just because a woman takes this pill doesn't mean she is aborting anything. She may or not be. Whereas birth control works nearly the same way. With them you are stopping a child from being conceived the whole time you take the pills or use any form of birth control. I really don't see a big difference.

This decision was a no brainer! This bartender has no need for access to material that is top secret national security documents. She is a loose cannon and cannot be trusted.

Obviously, some people would rather name call of ignore facts stated in this article. Obviously, some people like Biden selling almost half of our oil reserve to China, a country that wants to rule the world. Obviously, I totally disagree with weakening our country and having a president suffering from dementia and having his nut case administration and his wife calling the shots. So thank you Jason for more enlightenment of what the current administration is doing.

Masterson….obviously this is beyond your intellectual skill but there is a thing called google, that will provide you statistics. But since you are not capable of that here you go. According to the Guttmacher Institute 74.5% of all abortions are “elective”. Also according to the CDC .5% of the abortions are performed because of rape, 7% are performed because of risks to the mother and/or deformed babies who will not live. That leaves over 90% of abortions are done because the baby is not wanted. So maybe you should shut something up and it’s not where you “P”. Here’s a novel idea….what don’t you educate yourself?

"The law makes it a felony punishable by five to 15 years in prison to perform or induce an abortion. Medical professionals who do so also could lose their licenses. The law says women undergoing abortions cannot be prosecuted."

So what happens if a woman performs or induces her own abortion , does she commit a felony that cannot be prosecuted? Will coat hangers be out lawed next.

I'm as pro-life , or more , as the next person but that Law makes no sense . Fact is , if a woman wants an abortion she'll find a way to get one . It's no different then drugs , guns , or anything else , if a person really wants something , they'll find a way to get it . How about getting a room full of women and letting them decide what the abortion Laws , if any , should be...and if there are abortion Laws , men should be specified too

Anyone who stands to "P", should shut the he** up about a woman's reproduction rights, period.

Proud PP...where did you get your info about the reason for abortion?

Mailing these pills to chemically kill a baby is like mailing someone a gun to kill someone. What has our country become when we knowingly kill babies mostly because it is too inconvenient to bring them into this world! And PLEASE, don’t use the excuse of brutal rapes because we know most abortions are performed simply because the man AND women want the act but not the responsibility.

Maybe Schnucks could do something similar for Veterans every day .

What a wonderful opportunity! Thank you!

Poor ol' Wilburn... by far the most quintessential, ignorant self-proclaimed "student of history", "student of pre-law" and "salesman of pre-arranged funerals" gets it wrong again:

"At Least 14 New Pro-Life Women Elected to House"

"Record Number of Pro-Life Women Elected to Congress"

"As of April 14th, 31 pro-life women won their races, including 11 who flipped their districts, defeating pro-abortion Democratic incumbents."

Keep trying Wilburn. Your personal attacks don't mask your inability to comprehend. Now go run and hide... it's your modus operandi. Did they teach you what that means in your "pre-law" days?

Maybe Schnucks could do something similar for Veterans Day. Regional Schnucks (Cape) procedes could go to the local Veterans Home. Just a thought.

“Women also support and make the rules so that babies won't have to experience being chemically murdered in the womb by pills you believe are "OK".”

By far the most quintessentially ignorant and bizarre remarks ever posted out here. Enough said.

It's frequently not well taught in school, but the United States and the State of Missouri function as a representative form of democracy; ie. a 'Republic. It functions best when we elect representatives that represent our values while applying focus, skills and time to navigate the complexities of a given policy. We voters frequently fail to elect capable representatives as it is; often relying on emotion, sketchy information, perceived personality, sexual orientation, or race in the voting box. Nevertheless, we have a voice and can throw the bums out if properly motivated and informed. Imagine how much worse things would be if we similarly apply shallow criteria in deciding constitutional amendments. No thanks.

Schmitt already has a press secretary William O’Grady and now adds a senior adviser for his external communications, Marianna Deal. Isn't that like two People doing the same thing.

Wonder what could happen if one said something and the other said something else but neither say what U.S. Sen. Schmitt does , things would sure get mixfusing, musical chairs as it were. Aren't Republican against big Government ?

Women also support and make the rules so that babies won't have to experience being chemically murdered in the womb by pills you believe are "OK".

The sell off of the USA Strategic Petroleum Reserve of 250 million barrels of oil for Biden to save his behind from his failed War on the USA Energy Industries only will cost the USA taxpayers mega dollars to relish the SPR for Real Emergencies!

250,000,000 x $77 (current price) equals $19,250,000,000

Money made from the original sale went either to the corrupt Ukrainian government or to pay to transport and feed the Thousands of Illegal entries from the Southern Border per day!

wow Tyflon Jason , great job !

So many questions , so few answers , but hey , why go there , you know , those "Democrat" accusations and all . "Biden sheep" , "Democrats messing their pants" , the usual daily blah , blah , blah against Americans who might question you --no such thing as just plain Americans anymore . Please keep on giving these tyflon updates , juxtapositions of transparency are good things .

Americans shouldn't think aloud , or worry about it , or speak of doubt , lost as you swear they are , ain't that right Tyflon Jason...

Jason, Jason, Jason! What do you know about the majority of working class Americans? You are totally inaccessible and out of touch with your constituents! Lets talk about spending sprees, don't forget your mentor ($6.7 trillion to the debt between fiscal year 2017 and fiscal year 2020, a 33.1% increase). Always give credit to where credit is due!

Hey, how about reading and answering my emails instead of the form reply?
