Bailing Out Missouri?

 

August 19, 2025

 

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, he of the numerous grandstanding lawsuits, debunker of science, and no friend to the common man, has been named Co-Director of the FBI by President Trump. (I didn’t think of it while I was drafting this, but they have a lot in common.)

 

As loath as I am to see Andrew Bailey in any position of authority, let alone one that is responsible for public safety and even-handedness with the law,

 

It may save Missouri taxpayers a ton of money in frivolous lawsuits if he’s out of state office.

 

Where Would Trump Move the Homeless? Wanna Guess?

 

August 12, 2025

 

 

In what may foreshadow an attempt to start taking over the country using the military, Donald Trump has said he will take control of the police in Washington, D.C., and will activate the National Guard across the city in order to combat crime.

 

 

The president has other items on his “Clean up Washington” agenda, including removing the homeless. The article I read said that it was unclear where they would go.

 

 

I’ll give you one guess as to where he’ll try to make them go.

 

 

As fond as he is of interment camps,  he may have the barbed wire ready to go.

 

 

Umm—What About the Guns?

Background: Missouri has horribly lax gun laws, and is working to eliminate the laws they still have.

 

Today’s issue: Some lawmakers want to require schools to post the Ten Commandments in school.

 

Sen. Jamie Burger supports the law because he thinks that the increase in school shootings is a result of the absence of prayer in schools.

 

Sometimes legislators just make it too easy to take—you should excuse the expression—potshots at them.

 

 

Moving into the 20th Century

 

March 6, 2025

 

Once again, the Missouri Senate has voted to end child marriage.

 

Now it’s again up to the House to give the bill a hearing and vote for it. Let’s hope that they can start catching up to the realities of child trafficking and stop this old-time practice.

 

Maybe someday they’ll be enlightened enough to catch up to the 21^st Century.
