Ryan Johnson joined Nick Reed in the KSGF studio to discuss an odd phone call between gubernatorial candidates Eric Greitens and John Brunner. They also discussed what Missouri can do to halt the President’s idea to bring Syrian Refugees, some of which could be ISIS terrorists, into our state.
Operating a brick and mortar school is expensive. Maintenance of the physical plant is expensive and limits growth opportunities to the space available. Hiring teaching talent locally can also be […]
Original Post: I know it was you, Fredo.
Fredo Corleone: I’m your older brother, Mike, and I was stepped over! Michael Corleone: That’s the way Pop wanted it. Fredo Corleone: It ain’t the way I wanted it! I can handle things! I’m smart! Not like everybody says… like dumb… I’m smart and I want respect! —The Godfather: Part II I’m sure John Brunner…

Original Post: The Real Story of Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving celebrates the Pilgrims’ break from socialism. Schools and textbooks avoid the topic, but it’s worth remembering. The Plymouth and Jamestown plantations were dying under “common store” approach. Only by establishing a free market did the settlers thrive. Here’s the beginning of Kent Dillon’s excellent story of Thanksgiving, which you can continue reading in its…

I recently joined several others in a tour of the West Lake and Bridgeton landfills to review the publicly expressed concerns about potential radiation and health hazards in the nearby communities emanating from the landfills. My conclusion is that there is no health threat to those communities beyond normal day to day issues existing in […]
Original Post: John “The Weasel” Brunner.
RADAR: Did you lose something, sir? HAWKEYE: Hi, Stinky. RADAR: Uh, sir, that’s the sort of name that kind of sticks with a fella. I’d appreciate it if you’d just call me by my given nickname. —M*A*S*H Some names stick with a fella. A friend emailed the link and this note: Brunner is indeed a…

Original Post: Slay Poverty.
Paul Berry III made me laugh out loud. “Francis Slay hung out the vacancy sign but he’s running the Bates Motel.” We were talking about the Syrian refugees and Francis Slay’s insistence that hosting a lot of them is in the city’s vital interest. Leaving aside the question of security and vetting for the refugees,…

Today, conservative leaders sent a letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell urging them to continue the policy contained in recent appropriations bills restricting the use of Obamacare’s “Risk Corridor” program: As you begin negotiations over legislation to continue government funding past December 11, 2015, we the undersigned individuals and […]
Original Post: Our military leaders are no Pattons.
Yesterday, Lee Presser made a great point in this guest post, The Only Rule of Engagement Will Be Victory. As one commenter noted: This is the best analysis of the war on terror that I have read. If we do not fight to win, we shouldn’t be in the fight. Winning the war on terror…

Original Post: Mizzou Protests Were About Abortion All Along.
I hate to say “I told you so.” But the St. Louis Post Dispatch has found that I may have been right on November 8. That’s when I made the outlandish comment that the whole race issue at Mizzou is actually an abortion issue. I suspected that Planned Parenthood’s vast lobbyist network is agitating leaders…

Original Post: The Only Rule of Engagement Will Be Victory.
Guest Post by Lee Presser When FDR sent the troops to fight World War 2, he sent them to win. Since 1945, the political class has not given America’s military that clear instruction when being sent to war. Political considerations have modified the goal of winning. In Korea, it was fight but do not anger…
