Anyone there?

 Are there any Americans left in the Republican party? Need 5-10 reps in Congress to stand up for America and say vote in a reasonable Republican Speaker or say hello to Speaker Hakeem Jeffries. That group would hold more power than any of these crazies that are stalling everything. Congress needs to get back to work! 

We the People

 I read on X/Twitter today a Republican person saying that the Republicans cannot govern. This is true. They do not want to govern because they do not believe in government. Trump was the epitome of this message. Regardless the Republicans belong as the minority keeping check on the Democrats. The Democrats need to be the adults in the room and work with the Republicans on key issues, whether that be taxes, the border and so on. The key is having a party in control that can keep control of the institutions and guide the country. Both parties have good ideas and if they could only work together instead of acting like enemies the whole country would be so much better off. I understand it's wishful thinking but the people can decide. The people have the power to come together and force action when there is none. It's up to We the People.

The Missouri hypocrisy

    Politicians in MO are typically Republican and talk about deregulation, a hands off approach to business. But in the latest example of hypocrisy some state politicians are "pressuring" Tyson foods on a plant closing. Instead of simply closing the plant, like Tyson wants to do, the politicians are pushing Tyson to sell it.  

    Previous to this stunt a few years back the state held an election wherein voters statewide decided to increase animal protections. However after the "election" the state legislature thought they knew best and the citizens were stupid so the legislature overturned the election results and allowed continued abuse of animals in the state.
