Fellow Americans,
The lazy, over-paid bureaucrats in our bloated, inefficient federal government have failed us again. They had a golden opportunity to repeal Obamacare, but didn’t. Instead, President Trump and company tried to force a lousy health care bill on us. Luckily, enough opposition shot...
Are Smart Meters a good choice for Hamilton?
Back in December 2012, I led a campaign to stop the city of Hamilton from installing smart meters in their new water system. In 2013 I had called Ameren UE and asked what their intentions were about installing smart meters. At that time, not giving me a...
Fellow Americans,
Have you ever seen a statue of Lady Justice? She is found in many courthouses and government buildings across America. She holds a balanced scale, is armed with a sword, and is blindfolded. Her blindfold, scale, and sword are symbols of objectivity, fairness, and authority under...
The Missouri Public Service (PSC) staff helps the commissioners determine whether or not to grant utilities a certificate allowing them to construct high-voltage power lines. For nearly five years the Texas based company Grain Belt Express has been attempting to gain access to eminent domain...

Well last week, I attended the city Aldermen meeting for Kidder and well to be honest I was a bit surprised. Though I had heard about what goes on at the meetings, I had read what went on, but I never would have believed it if I had not gone. One of the topics of discussion was to raise the price...
President-Elect Trump has thrown out several immigration ideas during his march to January Twentieth, but I think we of “The Basket of Deplorables” should have the right to toss in our two-cents before Congress announces their final plan.
The most important part of any plan needs to be the...
I’ve been reading the book of Jeremiah recently.

And he fully anticipates that he will suffer along with his...
