We need to come together to protect our most vulnerable Americans. People should be grateful that a Covid-19 vaccine was developed so quickly. The people who battled polio and smallpox would have done anything to accomplish such a task to help save their loved ones.

Max

13 of our most vulnerable Americans were murdered by Joe Biden's buddies in Afghanistan.

Wendi Newman

It's the only responsible thing to do. We have an alarming amount of children hospitalized due to people dragging their feet.

Max

This year, a total of 214 U.S. children 17 years old or younger have died of COVID-19 while 261 children have been shot in Chicago. This is what Democratic leadership produces. The Liberals are proud of this.

Zaos Gonzolez

Responsible?

Sue Evans

Since we all can't come together for the common good of mankind, it's the only way.

Zaos Gonzolez

Sue? Are you serious? You’re killing me here.

Rachel Brekhus

Just returned from Italy, where proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID test was required to do pretty much any optional indoor activity from museums to restaurants to weddings, and masks were expected even for the vaxxed. They have 80% vaccination rates there. It was AWESOME. No drama.

Adam Schrader

Zach, maybe one day you and your moronic beliefs will end up in a hospital. Begging for oxygen. Wishing you had the vaccine. Or just die..This is NOT a political issue. God I wish people would stop being so short sighted and see this is a horrible pandemic. It KILLS people. It doesn't discriminate.

Max

I'm glad we have you to protect us. Now quit bothering the Americans and go away.

David Johnson

The vaccine is important to end the pandemic. People who refuse are only extending the virus. We all want to get back to life as normal. The vaccine is the only way to accomplish this. Unvaccinated people are causing overflow at hospitals and deaths.

Zaos Gonzolez

The vaccine wont end anything. In fact, the vaccinated are spreading the virus. EITHER WAY, the virus has less deadly despite its high transmission. A good virus, a good parasite, a good politician, will never kill its host/voters.

Amelia Lewis-Allen

We have been required to get vaccines our whole lives, this should be no different

Zaos Gonzolez

Not true. Where and when are vaccines required? ONLY when the government is involved. Less government = more freedom. Homeschool your children.

The plans are already drawing backlash from Republicans and will be opposed by the many Americans who have thus far refused the coronavirus vaccine.

We have our freedom. This is NOT A COMMUNIST COUNTRY !!!! People, start speeking up or the government Will turn this into a communist country !!!!

Max

The Supreme Court will send this mandate packing, and we should send Creepy Joe packing too. His mandate does not apply to Illegal Aliens. This mandate is only to take attention away from the failing economy and raging inflation, and all of his other massive failures that the Left is responsible for

Kevin Jones

He has no authority to mandate anything.

Max

I will not support any decision made by an administration that can't secure the border, has trust in a phony Dr. Fauci, and has surrendered to a third world country, controlled by the Taliban less than 20 years after they attacked our Nation.

Teresa Parsons

All it's going to do is make more people unemployed than there already are and even more businesses with employee shortage. Why make it worse than it is??

Max

It is the early stages of Communism, soon after that there will be a Civil War.

Thomas James Hoey

It is unconstitutional and tyrannical. Government overreach at its finest. This is exactly why the second ammendment was written.

Zaos Gonzolez

COME AND GIVE IT!

Wendy Kauffman

My body! My choice, right. Isn’t that what they have been preaching forever

Brian Topping

Who died and made him dictator?

Adam Schrader

We can only pray that all of you incompetent morons suffer a slow agonizing death from this pandemic. If all the idiots die thinking this Is a political issue, maybe all the sane people can get on with life

Not since the Great Depression has wealth inequality in the US been so acute, Top 0.1% now worth as much as the bottom 90%. Prior to Reagan and trickle-down economics in the mid-80's, the bottom 90% held over 35% and the top 0.1% about 10%. And yet, the wealthiest among us still want more!

Max

It will always be that way, because most people make bad choices.

Fred

Forgot one important fact ... Reagan and trickle-down economics also put us on the path to huge budget deficits and financial ruin.

Fred

This data is from 12 years ago, but it is only WORSE now. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/nov/13/us-wealth-inequality-top-01-worth-as-much-as-the-bottom-90

Nothing the Democrats have done of offered has ever helped the majority of the people. Obamacare caused my healthcare to skyrocket and quality to plummet. Democratic scandals, such as those seen in Minnesota with the Somalians, far too common. It's past time to support out President.

Fred

Prior to the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies routinely denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. How exactly does that reduce the quality of coverage?

Fred

Right ... other than the 19th Amendment, Social Security, GI Bill, Medicare, Medicaid, Securities and Exchange Act, Rural Electrification Act, unemployment benefits, Voting Rights Act, Head Start & student loans, Republicans? Tax cuts for corporations & the wealthy.

JIC CoMo

I say fire every Politian. I have not seen one yet that knows what they are doing. They are only for themself and not for the people of the State.

Toasty

If the revenue isn't replaced (along with cuts) with a flat/consumption/fair tax, then it's a waste of time. When it comes to spending money, republicans can waste it as much as the democrats.

Fred

It would probably be replaced by higher regressive sales tax rates.

Your question is way too generic. To a degree that that renders it pointless.

Eric Smith

Kehoe is ok, and I mean just ok. Unfortunately, Missouri has now had two weak governors back-to-back.

Toasty

Is he Tim Waltz level incompetence? No, but with a republican majority, he could do better. Listen to The Eagle every morning and Randy will give you all the details.

Steve Sargent

He rammed through legislation reversing laws enacted via the ballot box. This LBJ wannabe needs impeached or voted out into obscurity

J Harris

He does not act for all Missourians and his policies so far have hurt more Missourians than helped. He's just another smug St Louis rich guy helping his buddies in the Good Ol Boys Club out and hurting everyone else through terrible policy and not supporting or protecting the will of voters..

Lisa Harter Kerns

Public schools need funded

Ed Smith

Allowing gambling on sports, while ACL, relocation and retirement occur in that same instance sounds premeditated. Reversing voter decisions is communist! And, have car dealers started getting their commission on the property tax collections, yet?

Danny Bowling

No income tax doesnt work check all the states that tried it. RESCT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE!

John Scherer

Killing the rural public schools. Promoting the St. Louis County private school agenda. Where is the accountability for private schools supported with public money?

Vancie Brown

Nothing is getting done

Bruce Russell

Governors tax policies are misguided. Capital Gains and income tax elimination will shift the tax burden to lower and middle income folks. Saying this is to attract new business is a weak argument.

Tom Maxwell

He is screwing over the average Missourian to give himself and other rich people a tax break.

Robert Rasmussen

He's continued Missouri's race to the bottom with Texas and Florida when it comes to this culture war bull, his proposition to eliminate income tax is fake populist pandering, in reality it's a rug pull on the poor and a handout for the rich.

John Shadwick

His tax plan is a blatant wealth transfer. A sales tax increase disproportionally harms lower income individuals.

Madison Haleigh

Because he hasn't done anything to help people get affordable housing or access to healthcare. He takes money from big companies to build data centers.
