Caleb Rowden is a Rino. I regret voting for him. The 7:1 matches the census but if you’re getting some push back from whoever paid for your election bid, maybe you should look at who they are and their motives before you run. MO got over $6,800,000 in CTCL $, it is influencing a lot of big counties.

I have the same respect for Caleb Rowden, as I do for Cori Bush. That should explain itself.

I'm going to have to disagree here, in a 7-1 map either St. Louis or Kansas city loses a democratic seat. A person or representative in rural Missouri is not going to understand or even care about those in the urban, same could be said if you expanded the democrat seats into rural areas

Following very closely since according to Parson, we Missourians are too stupid to vote to have an independent redistricting. The representatives are biased and should not be writing their own district's end of the story.

Mainly, because the news has me burned out, with all of the whining, and virtue signaling.

The politicians are going to do whatever they want regardless of what the public wants so why bother to watch it?

The current administration of Iran has proven to be unreliable and is not trustworthy.

Max

Iran has plenty of oil for energy generation.

Fred

No, not as long as the current regime is in power. Theocracies are always bad news ... something we should keep in mind!

Max

That has been going on since the Prophet Muhammad found the Muslim church in 610 AD.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Max

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Max

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.
