The Battlefield

Fellow Americans, Welcome to the battlefield; an unorthodox arena where unlikely allies wage war against their enemies. Welcome to the place where flashpoints lurk behind every corner. Welcome to the 24/7 coverage of violent protests gleefully publicized by every news outlet around. Welcome to the...

GBE’s attorney shared with the Commission that if the project was dismissed, it was dead.

Grain Belt Express Strikes Out

Citizens across Missouri are celebrating today in the wake of the Public Service Commission’s (PSC) denial of Grain Belt Express’s (GBE) application to build a high-voltage transmission line across the state.

Put Up or Shut Up

Fellow Americans, How much longer will this fishing expedition continue? Since Donald Trump was elected president, his opponents on both sides have been desperately trying to bring him down, by hook or by crook.

We lived in Boston, so that was about like flying from Kansas City to St. Louis—you’re barely up in the air long enough to feel air sick. A few years later I became a regular on the Boston to St. Louis...

Dear Editor:

In the past couple of weeks, I have written about the unfair, unkind, unbiblical and ungodly acts the pastor and the district did be removing me from the Assembly of God Church in Polo. I have had many changes in my body since having gastric bypass done in February. I went back to the doctor who...

Letter to the Editor:

What the heck is going on with the Aldermen/women in the city of Kidder. Last month Alderwoman Bratcher was shocked to find out that “SEMIS” are not allowed to park in the city of Kidder even though she, Alderwoman Bratcher, fought to get the ordnance approved, and personally made the motion to get...

A Time For Offense

Fellow Americans, It is a well-known military fact that your best defense is a good offense. Hopefully, President Trump agrees with this philosophy. Hopefully he understands that by bolstering our military and presenting a formidable offensive presence, our enemies will be less likely to want to...
