40K?!?!? Its more than enough. GORSH, I'd say just giving them a cheese sandwich is enough. If you send your children into the care of another, you do not love your children.

The fix is temporary and some argue the raise isn't enough to stay competitive.

Teachers have to go through so much just to get certifications and are now vilified more than ever. Its a thankless job that's never gotten enough credit (and pay) it deserves.

Robin

The teachers work way too hard and deal with way too much much for the pay they get. They teach the children of what is going to be our future leaders and I want them to have the best possible education.

I'm a teacher. And Missouri's retirement system takes 14.5% off the top without permission. We work hard but we are hardly left with a living wage.

In 1989 the min teacher's salary for the state of MO was 18,000. Using an inflation calculator it would be approximately 43,500 today. Many teachers work 2nd or Summer jobs to supplement their salaries.

Is this question really needing to be asked? Really ? This is what society is reduced to? Paying football and baseball and a host of other sports players HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS PER GAME OF 3 OR 4 HOURS duration all the while paying first responders and K thru 12 educators pennies... Really?

Of course I am an American. I will always support my country.

Gerald Ashford

This operation is no different than any operation conducted by any president dating back to the Truman administration

VoxLesPaul

Watch the video of rejoicing Venezualans, and the wisdom of this decision is self evident. We saw the same thing when Saddam Hussein was deposed.

Fred

And how did that turn out?

Zaos Gonzolez

All commies deserve the same.

Eric Smith

Absolutely! It's wonderful finally having a president who is trying to do every single thing he promised the American people in the campaign.

Max

Maduro's drug trade, is an "Act of War" against the US. The military strikes and arrest of Maduro, are Self-Defense. There will be more, and more American lives will be saved.

No. It's an act of war.

If you elect a criminal who thumbs his nose at our laws, you can expect him to ignore international law as well. I can't believe in this country elected him the first time. Doing it a second time shows you how ignorant people are in our country. It's embarrassing.

Max

Trump was, and continues to be the best thing that ever happened to our nation. Three more years, hooray.

Peggy Carney

It's a act of war, Trump just wants the oil there. He is the criminal.

Max

Biden put a 25 million dollar bounty on Maduro.

Max

Maduro's drug trade is an "Act of War." You have that part correct.

Fred

Remember when we were told we would be welcomed as liberators in Iraq ... This is criminal. DON'T FORGET ABOUT EPSTEIN!!!

Fat Guy Outdoors

Was you in Iraq Fred? I was. Do you know the reaction of the people in Iraq or are you getting this from the news?

Max

Why are all of the Epstein files full of democrats? And, no pictures of Trump?
