In less than one year, the Missouri legislature has seen 3 resignations due to inappropriate conduct with interns or other associates at the state capitol. Don Gosen, a Republican from the 101st district in Wildwood, is the latest to leave…

You might have heard that State Senator Dave Schatz gutted ethics reform in Missouri.

Original Post: Ted Cruz’s ultimate strategy.
Ted Cruz has a powerful strategy available to him. This strategy could not only determine the winner of the Republican convention but put in position to influence policy for generations. But it’s probably not what you’re thinking. I’m going to lay out some assumptions, many of which you could disagree with. That’s okay. But for…

Who thinks a state senator or state representative should quit their job as a public servant for a lucrative position lobbying their former colleagues? Or who believes in citizen legislators who temporarily serve in public office then return to the lives they came from? The concept of a citizen legislator is simple: if you are […]
I got tire of scrolling. Politico shows the results of each county in South Carolina, my state of residence from 1985 to 1992. Abbeville: Trump Aiken: Trump Allendale: Trump Anderson: Trump Bamberg: Trump Barnwell: Trump Beaufort: Trump Berkeley: Trump It goes on and on and on.

Who would have thought that Pat Buchanan would become the spokesman for Generation X? I put a lot of stock into generational history. I am a big fan of Howe and Strauss, a pair of historians whose works include Generations: The History of America’s Future, 13ers: Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail?, Millennials Rising, and, my favorite, The Fourth Turning. As someone born…

Original Post: I’m with Apple.
The government wants Apple to build a back door into the iPhone. Apple has refused. I’m with Apple on this one. This back door would allow the FBI to access the content of the San Bernardino terrorists’ phone, possibly exposing more terrorists. That would be a good thing. But Apple never built a back door…

It is quite possible that if the CCSSI had only focused on reading and writing first, the public might not have noticed or cared much about the standards. The lack […]
Original Post: How the Pope helped Trump.
Pope Francis said today that Donald Trump is not a Christian. I can only assume the Pope has secretly cut a deal with The Donald. “Pope. Donald here. I need you to give me some crap about the wall.” “Si.” “Just, uh, call me a Muslim or something. Make it look sincere, ya know?” “Si.”…
