Iran killed an American contractor, wounding many. We strongly responded, and always will. Now Iran is orchestrating an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Iraq. They will be held fully responsible. In addition, we expect Iraq to use its forces to protect the Embassy, and so notified! 6:02 AM · Dec 31, 2019
Perfect timing, as always.

“…a day for organized marches and events in support of science across America and the world. Think about that for a second. People feel the need to organize marches in support of science in 21st Century America.”
It’s been another very interesting year for us. We could all benefit from less interesting.
We took a lot of photos in 2019. Many having to do with the aftermath of the 2016 (yes) and 2018 general elections.
Over the course of the last year we covered a number of government and political events in Missouri (and elsewhere, including Iowa for some reason), in the process taking thousands of photographs. Most of them didn’t make it into the blog. Some of the things we saw and heard made us smile, made us think, made us gasp, made us hope, and made us despair.
We thought we’d provide a retrospective of some of the pictures and stories we consider to be memorable.

That’s a total of $750,000.00 in three contributions from one individual to MO Opportuniy PAC in 2019.
August A Busch III contributed a total of $100,000.00 to MO Opportuniy PAC in two installments in 2019. CL PAC contributed a total of $50,000.00 to MO Opportuniy PAC in two installments in 2019. Herzog Contracting (St. Joseph) contributed $100,000.00 in 2019.
That’s a lot of money. That’s not all of it.
After a PAC acquires all that money they spend it. On candidates.
Not how you efficiently reach or convince those Iowa Democratic Party caucus participants.

Like many moms, mine is a master multi-tasker who can be many places at once. For instance, this Christmas she is cuddling with her youngest granddaughter in beautiful California – while apparently living rent-free in someone’s rage-tweeting head. #HappyHolidays 11:29 AM · Dec 26, 2019

Public support for Trump impeachment at all-time high: Poll
Public support for Donald Trump’s removal from office is the highest it has ever been, according to a new poll. Fifty-five percent of those asked said they were in favor of the president’s conviction by the Senate, a figure that shot up from 48 percent the week before.
