The citizens of Missouri, and every American, should oppose any gun legislation other than efforts to enforce existing laws prohibiting certain persons from possessing firearms, such as prior felons and those legally declared mentally unstable. Background checks are instantaneous today, and many states have waiting periods of three or more days from date of purchase…

What happened at Benghazi?

I have two grandchildren, one in kindergarten and one in second grade. I have looked over their school work, and I have noticed, and told my daughter to be aware of, the fact that they are showing “family” units that do not include a mother and father, or even one or the other for that…

I was hoping he would insist that a budget be passed. The most devastating part of his speech? President Obama demanded that Congress pass climate change legislation, or he will do something by executive order. This will kill America’s economy.

Although I am not Catholic, I know how much the Pope is loved by people all over the world. If he feels he needs to step down because he is not able to keep up with the rigorous demands of his office, I admire his courage in doing so, especially at a time when followers…

It would be difficult for the states to conduct business with each…

I am very conflicted on this issue, perhaps because the White House declines to discuss the parameters they use to determine who they consider a terrorist operative to be placed on this “kill list.” I understand the necessity to eliminate those who plot to commit terrorist acts against our country and its citizens. I worry…

Congressman Paul’s tweet was ill-informed, ignorant, and showed an utter lack of respect for the true heroes who serve or have served in our military.
