Israel has the moral upper hand against hamas, and it's not even close. Remember who attacked who on October 7th. Israel needs to end hamas and all arab terror organizations once and for all, even if FJB tries to interfere.

This enemy, will not quit, until it is no longer alive.

Israel DID NOT INVADE PALESTINE!! THEY invaded Israel!!

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.

Catherine Collins

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?

I have no confidence in Biden doing anything but what is best for his corrupt regime.

It's easy to say yes, but both my boys are over there as was I my entire career. If the end mission isn't, Iran is are 51st state. Then why, why kill if you just end up giving it back to your enemy. My sons are more than people's pawns. Easy to send people when it's not you.

Max DeYoung

My son and I are both veterans. You don't win, when you walk away. I do honor your concern, with the current president.

Fat Guy Outdoors

Have you been to war? If not don't call for it unless you would be willing to be on the front line. It's funny people who haven't taken life are so willing for others to do it for them. So if you didn't serve in a combat role, don't tell the men and women who have testicular fortitude to do it 4 u

Toasty

Amen brodda'. Iran knows we could turn them into glass, so why the provocation? Its a game the elite want to play with our sons and daughters. No thank you.
