Yes, in fact, your "leaders" are doing too much. This isn't a gun problem. This isn't a crime problem. It's a money problem. Poor people commit violent crimes. Solve the money problem, solve the, well, everything else.

Because it continues to happen regularly. Too many times they lack suspects or leads. They lack community trust.

They are, however spending too much time luring homeless people to the city.

As we can already tell, the orange shirt campaign is really working this week to curb crime and gun violence. So glad they came up with that idea!

This has become such a regular occurrence that we have started avoiding going shopping in Columbia. Instead driving to Moberly. There seems to be more daytime incidents than ever before. The criminals seem emboldened by the lack of police presence.

We need more police and fewer guns and more politicians who don't fear the NRA.

We already have too many democrats that are trying to crush the second amendment along with the rest of the Bill Of Rights, and the entire Constitution.

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I have no desire to watch him spew lies and pat himself on the back. He's a sorry excuse of a human being.

Thee truth is hard for some to swallow. Maybe you could find a Biden or Obama clip to watch?

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.

Not seeing very good returns on the 5 day schedule. Are we sure 4 days are the answer. Dropping standards is never an option. You soften standards on discipline and look where it has got you. Do the hard right over the easy wrong.

One full day, for the kids to be unsupervised, in most cases, spells DANGER for them, but if it's good for the teachers, then let's do it. Teachers Unions have been so good, for so for so long, for everyone, but the children, and their parents....
