People will remember, that it costs way too much to go to the store, to buy overpriced food, and not having enough money to pay for it. Hamburger helper without hamburger, is already real for many families. And it is going to get much worse, thanks to Joe Biden. LGB

All plays a part, Trump can still MAGA!! He did it in less than 4 years twice, even with a Plandemic in place. Cause he is the People’s President. Prices of Food, Gas, Shortages cause increases. Our pResidementia is horribly Marxist-Communist. We will vote a Red Republican Wave in! No Doubt!

It is my body and my choice. No abortion is not birth control, but it is a medically viable procedure to save lives. Would our government feel the same if it was their wife, daughter, or grand daughters who was raped? How is this helping with the problems of money for WIC, SNAP, medicaid, etc.?

Max DeYoung

Let the baby decide. The baby has more skin in the game. The age of majority is 18 in most places, except three states. Alabama and Nebraska set the age of majority to 19 and Mississippi sets it at 21. At this age, let the baby decide if he or she wants to be aborted.

Jack L

Let the woman decide. It should be her choice

Adam

Next topic please. I hope it's not anything to do with guns or the latest mass shooting. We've beat that dead horse enough

Adam

Any way you slice it, still a woman's choice

Max DeYoung

Very small number of abortions are to save a life or because of a rape. One abortion per each 76 child bearing age women per year, is not a morally acceptable option. Babies body, babies choice. 850,000 abortions per year, 65 million child bearing age women. Do the math.

As long as we follow the TRO filed by Ali Graeff HOR candidate two days ago which will bar us from also using any electronic voting devices and preserve the 2020 election results for further analysis. 2000 mules movie is true!

Adam

You seem to have an oral fixation about people soiling themselves. Another quirk you picked up in prison Justin?

Adam

Again, Justin fails to bring anything but his childish dribble. As usual it'll be deleted like most of his crap. Time to lay off the social media and grow up

Adam

If someday someone has documented proof there was fraud, I'll be first in line to agree to hold them accountable and put Trump back in office. Till then, you all can shove a wet sock in it. Justin, I understand that's a game you and your cellie played to pass the time away.

Adam

Again, Lisa stfu about your fraud. Enough crying over it. 2000 mules is a bogus one sided documentary made by a right wing supportive convicted felon of illegal campaign contributions fraud that of course Dump pardoned. When you or anyone has proof, REAL proof, please please show it.

Adam

Jesus....here we go again about election fraud. Give it a rest already. How many times to we beat a dead horse over this?

Max DeYoung

Adam, maybe it's not Justin, maybe it's you.

Jennifer M

Agreed

Max DeYoung

Thank you Jennifer. Many of the questions stimulate opinions and arguments. Opinions and solutions would be much better. We are all guilty, we can do better. Let's try!

Max DeYoung

I would like to see a question about how to end the daily shootings in Columbia, or why the homeless percentage in Columbia, is two times the states percentage of homeless people. What is Columbia doing to encourage this kind of activity?

Jack L

The republicans have gone to court over alleged "voter fraud" dozens of times, and they have lost every one of those cases. Even Trump appointed judges have said there is nothing there. Time to move on

Jennifer M

Max, I agree. Something along those line would be a refreshing change.

Jack L

Adam, apparently that dead horse will be beaten 100,000 more times. That dead horse has been beaten into glue already

Critics say there's so little election fraud that it's not worth potentially disenfranchising voters.

It's interesting to see all the people complaining about federal election takeover when these bills include things such as: requirement for independent redistricting so no more gerrymandering, prohibition on campaign spending by foreign nationals, improved election security, and better outlined...

penalties for those who try to subvert peoples right and ability to vote whether or not a minority. Though the calls of this being federal election takeover is not much different than the same thing being said back when passage of the original VRA was going through the senate. It also does not...

change the DOJ's current role when it comes to elections due to preclearance. But hey its like we are in the 1960s again and the right to vote and ones ability to is for some reason dangerous because there is power in minority numbers.

Lisha Lammers

Equal voting rights for all Americans!

Max

I agree. Voter ID, and no mail in ballots.

To my knowledge (even though many vote-fraud accusations haven't been verified), there are far more verified cases of vote fraud than verified cases of legally entitled voters denied their right to vote. I have no doubt that such cases would be broadly publicized if they existed.

To an extent there are cases that are showcase creation of difficulty in voting such as closing of polling centers in minority areas, creating very nuanced things that make it harder to vote by mail or absentee without telling the public and other things that are minor but not at the same time

Will Mason

Quit calling it "voting rights" it is a democrat fraud easing scheme. It makes cheating easier. Something democrats tend to cheer.

David Kertz

we do not need federal election laws, especially this one proposed. we need total voter id laws and minimal abstentee balllots that are verified well in advance of elections

Fredrick Green

Voting is left up to our states. Don't allow the federal government to change laws and take control. Why? Have you seen what happens when the government is left in control of something? Everything tends to mess up. Examples include public education, mail services, etc.

Lisa Gore

States are in charge of our voting rights, this allows us to regulate and make sure there is election integrity. These Federal rules take that accountability away. CoMo got $647,000 CTCL money, we wouldn’t know how much 2020 fraud went on in Boone county if it weren’t state-county local. Vote no!!

Max

The Constitution gives the states the right to control the voting process. The democrats do not believe in the constitution. The United States, under its Constitution, is a federal, representative, democratic republic, an indivisible union of 50 sovereign States. Biden is trying to subvert the Law.

Max

To JH, Yes your statement is true, but it requires a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Good luck with that. What Biden is doing is called senseless Grandstanding.

Mr. DeYoung You are right to an extent but also wrong, Article 1 section 4 states, The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations

Max

To make that easier to understand, the Biden administration, is crooked to the bone, and communist in nature.
