GOP Senate Hopeful Catches Claire McCaskill in Lie

April 19th, 2012 · 2 Comments

I love it when someone catches an elected official — especially when that official is a lefty-liberal Democrat — telling bald-faced lies.  Today, Army Maj. Hector Maldonado shared a video in which he did just that.  In this case, he caught U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) telling one of those lies to a campaign-trail crowd [...]

Do Residents Living Near Weldon Spring Site Deserve Compensation for Radiation Exposure?

April 9th, 2012 · No Comments

Do residents living in neighborhoods near a former EPA Superfund site 30 miles west of St. Louis deserve compensation for being exposed to radioactive materials?  The answer to that question could very well be “Yes.” Located adjacent State Highway 94 in a once-rural section of St. Charles County, Mo., the Weldon Spring (Mo.) Site was [...]

Letter Outlines Alleged Wrongdoing at Republican Presidential Caucus in Jefferson County, Missouri

April 7th, 2012 · 4 Comments

April 2nd, 2012 · 8 Comments

Unfortunately for Republican gubernatorial candidate Dave Spence, there is no “easy button” when it comes to running a state like Missouri. Though loaded with money and able to flood the airwaves with slick advertisements, Spence demonstrated his lack of issues awareness during the Greene County Lincoln Day GOP Gubernatorial Forum March 3. In the video above, [...]

Causus 2.0: Venue Booked for Only Five Hours

April 2nd, 2012 · 1 Comment

Weeks after the “St. Patrick’s Day Massacre,” many voters in St. Charles County, Mo., are probably wondering whether or not the upcoming second attempt to conduct the county’s 2012 Republican presidential caucus (a.k.a., “CAUCUS 2.0″)  will produce better results. The latest effort to select delegates for the upcoming congressional district, state and national GOP conventions [...]

Missouri Legislators Pass ‘Birther,’ Jumping Jacks and Butterfly Bills While Ignoring Cancer Report

March 29th, 2012 · No Comments

On Wednesday, the 46th day of the 2012 Regular Session, Missouri state legislators tackled at least one important bill which, I predict, will never be signed by liberal Democrat Gov. Jay Nixon.  That bill, HB1046, “requires proof of identity and status as a United States natural born citizen for the office of President and Vice [...]

Missouri State Legislators Not Inclined to Place High Priority on 2011 Weldon Spring Cancer Report

March 26th, 2012 · No Comments

March has been a miserable month for me when it comes to dealing with Republican Party officials in my own backyard. While most of my interaction about “things Republican” has revolved around the 2012 St. Charles County (Mo.) Republican Presidential Caucus, other interactions have involved GOP members of the Missouri House of Representatives. During the [...]
