It seems that when we had strong leadership in the White House, there were world problems, but not near as bad as what we are experiencing now with no leadership in the White House. Not in many years have we had the pressures we now face with Russia, and now they are boycotting back at us for our boycotts dealing with Urkraine.

Something needs to be done. For a town the size of Cape Girardeau, the crime situation, the shootings have gotten out of hand and are an embarrassment to the rest of the state.
