In December, then-Missouri Gov. Mike Parson commuted the life sentence of Patty Prewitt, who had already spent 38 years behind bars for a crime she maintains she did not commit. Now, she's out with a new book, "Trying to Catch Lightning in a Jar: Letters from Prison."

A child welfare bill that passed through both chambers of the Missouri General Assembly this week will raise the minimum age for marriage from 16 to 18. House Minority Leader Ashley Aune, a Democrat from Platte County, says this will prevent young women from being victimized.

Jackson County legislator Sean Smith says it's essential for the county to "straighten out the property tax debacles" if it wants to keep the Chiefs and Royals local. Smith was one of two county lawmakers to meet with Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe last week for closed-door discussions over the matter.

Jackson County legislator Sean Smith, who along with a handful of local lawmakers met with Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe last week, says it's essential for the county to "straighten out the property tax debacles" if it wants voters to pass a future stadium sales tax measure to keep the teams in town.

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe is pushing for a state board to oversee the St. Louis police department because he says it will make the city safer in the long run. The GOP chief executive is brushing aside criticism that the idea is another example of Republican-controlled state government micromanaging the heavily Democratic St. Louis region. In a wide-ranging interview with STLPR the day after his first State of the State address, Kehoe discussed public safety and a host of other issues including taxes, education funding and diversity programs.

In his first State of the State as Missouri governor, Mike Kehoe described a lack of hope among young people due to crime. He urged the General Assembly to pass legislation that would support law enforcement officers and increase penalties.

Gwendolyn Grant, president and CEO of the Urban League of Greater Kansas City, said her colleagues and community members are outraged that Missouri Gov. Mike Parson freed former KCPD detective Eric DeValkenaere last week.

After six and a half years, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson is set to leave office in January. In an interview with KCUR, Parson reflected on his tenure — including accomplishments like expanding I-70, if he plans to pardon former KCPD officer Eric DeValkenaere, and his hopes for the future of Missouri.

Despite hinting that it could happen, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson won't say for sure whether he will pardon or commute the sentence of Eric DeValkenaere, the former KCPD officer serving six years in prison for killing Cameron Lamb. Parson spoke to KCUR's Up To Date about his tenure before leaving office on Jan. 13.

Quade is the Democratic leader of the Missouri House of Representatives and is her party's nominee to replace Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, who is term-limited. Here's where she stands on some of the most important issues facing the state, including control of the KCPD and abortion rights.

That timeline allows for a ruling by the end of the court's regular term in June, which is faster than is typical when the court hears arguments but not as fast as prosecutors wanted it to be.https://www.politico.com/news/2024/02/28/how-the-supreme-court-just-threw-trumps-2024-trial-schedule-into-turmoil-00144043 2024 Election Era Is Biden's Michigan Problem A Media Creation or a Serious Issue? https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/28/politics/biden-michigan-vulnerabilities-israel-gaza/index.htmlhttps://newrepublic.com/article/179386/media-overhyping-uncommitted-threat-bidenBorder Wars https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-biden-border-election-news-02-29-24/index.htmlTrump's Increasing Money Pithttps://www.cnn.com/2024/02/28/politics/donald-trump-appeals-court-new-york/index.htmlAlleged VP list for Trumphttps://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/mar/1/trump-puts-texas-gov-greg-abbott-on-vp-shortlist/ The Biden Replacement Debate continues, but is it just noise at this point? https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/2895228/liberal-pundits-debate-biden-replacement-scenarios/Delegate counts https://www.google.com/search?q=democratic+primary&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS901US901&oq=democratic+primary+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQRRhAMgYIAhBFGDsyBggDEEUYPNIBCDMzOTlqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8ABC election center: https://abcnews.go.com/electionsI am begrudgingly including this AXE piece: https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/29/opinions/biden-trump-michigan-primary-revealed-secret-axelrod/index.htmlLAST CALLI disagree to agree but I am not disagreeable Esther Perel on Pivot @TheHeartlandPOD on Twitter and ThreadsCo-HostsAdam Sommer @Adam_Sommer85 (Twitter) @adam_sommer85 (Post)Rachel Parker @msraitchetp (Post) Sean Diller (no social)The Heartland Collective - Sign Up Today!JOIN PATREON FOR MORE - AND JOIN OUR SOCIAL NETWORK!“Change The Conversation”Outro Song: “The World Is On Fire” by American Aquarium http://www.americanaquarium.com/

As a third-generation farmer, Mike Parson, the 57th Governor of Missouri, has a deep empathy for the challenges and opportunities facing farmers in the Show-Me State's agricultural community. As his time in office winds down and a return to the seat of his John Deere tractor draws near, Gov. Parson goes Inside the ICE House to discuss Missouri's agribusiness output, the highlights of his tenure, and the goals he's focused on completing as the state's chief executive.  https://www.ice.com/insights/conversations/inside-the-ice-house

The Mayor of Kansas City expressed frustration with Missouri Gov. Mike Parson as he used the word "thugs" to describe suspects in the mass shooting at a Kansas City Superbowl Rally.  Torrey dives into the use of the word "thug" and if it's really a racial dog-whistle.  Baltimore's citation docket didn't get many citations from the Baltimore Police Department, and there appear to be some possible gaps with services.  We discuss if this is the right approach to dealing with low-level crimes.  We also scrutinize Maryland Gov.

After former Kansas City Police officer Eric DeValkanaere was convicted of killing unarmed Black man Cameron Lamb, there's been speculation — and protest — about his potential pardon by Missouri Gov. Mike Parson.

Former Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon dove back into the political fray last week when he announced his involvement with No Labels, a group of centrist politicians pushing back against what they see as the extremes of both the Republican and Democratic Parties. The group is rankling some Democrats who think its actions could create an avenue for Donald Trump to return to the White House. STLPR political correspondent Jason Rosenbaum talks with Jay Nixon on this episode that first aired on the station's Politically Speaking podcast.

And Missouri should see $1.7 billion of that money. Alabama is set to get about $1.4 billionArkansas just over $1 billionIndiana more than $850 millionKansas over $450,000Iowa over $400,00According to administration estimates some 24 million folks are without high speed internet access to their homes, many of which are located in the areas largely represented by and governed by Republican members of congress like Jason Smith in the Missouri 8th District one of the single most impoverished districts in America. Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, noted Federal money glut who pretends to hate the government for political points said that the money will “greatly assist our ongoing investments in Missouri's broadband infrastructure”This comes as part of the Biden administrations “Internet For all” initiative. “What we're doing is, as I said, not unlike what Franklin Delano Roosevelt did when he brought electricity to nearly every American home and farm in our nation. Today (Vice President) Kamala (Harris) and I are making an equally historic investment to connect everyone in America to high speed internet, and affordable high speed internet, by 2030,”So far none of the Republican governors have denounced this redistribution of wealth as a massive government overreach or bloated spending. Wonder why? https://missouriindependent.com/2023/06/27/white-house-unveils-42-5b-to-connect-every-american-to-high-speed-broadband-internet/https://arkansasadvocate.com/2023/06/26/white-house-unveils-42-5b-to-connect-every-american-to-high-speed-broadband-internet/LIBRARY MEETING DRAWS A CROWDMore than 350 people crowded into a St. Charles County library board meeting Tuesday night, in Missouri, a new chapter in a fight about a library employee's clothing choices.The heated meeting included three hours of public comment, centered on a woman's complaint that when she visited a branch of the Library, an unnamed worker was wearing makeup, nail polish and also had… (gasp) a goatee. LGBTQ supporters were swift to push back on the woman's complaints, and they showed up in droves Tuesday night to counter complaints by the woman and her supporters.Some say the employee is dressing like a stripper, and only appropriate for night clubs. The public comment portion of the meeting lasted three hours before the board decided to end comment and allow others to simply email their diatribes. Sadie Anderson, who described themselves as being the partner of the library staff member, urged the library board to continue to support the employee.“My partner is having to do something that no person on earth should have to do, they are having to fight for their mere right to exist,” Anderson said. “My partner, myself, and every single person in this room should be able to express themselves and feel comfortable in the clothing they choose and wear those clothes without fear of ridicule. It is as simple as that.”https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/stcharles/more-than-350-people-pack-st-charles-library-meeting-in-fight-over-dress-code-lgbtq/article_363f3d66-1069-11ee-afd9-a7e1bfb0bc7d.htmlKANSAS VOTING RIGHTS CASE GOES SUPREMENo, they didn't add sour cream and tomatoes - but the Kansas election law from 2021 is being challenged in court and it's headed to the Kansas state supreme courtto review portions of a voting rights lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of mandates created in 2021 in response to election fraud conspiracy theories - all of which were lies.The question is whether Kansans' right to vote is undermined by state law restricting the number of advance ballots a person can deliver to an election office and the new state law requiring election volunteers to verify signatures on advance ballots.The plaintiffs challenging the laws filed have asked for an injunction during the pendency of the case.Davis Hammet with Loud Light, one of the groups involved in the case. said “It should be concerning to every Kansan, the idea that you do everything right, and then the state just alleges that someone didn't think your signature match so your vote isn't counted.”The law also created new penalties for touching somebody else's ballot, distributing ballots or altering the postmark on an advanced ballot. Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly vetoed both bills, but was overridden.So if you're in Kansas, keep your hands and arms inside the voting booth at all times.Wisconsin Elections Commission Still Impacted By Trump's Big LieThe Wisconsin Elections Commission failed to reappoint administrator Meagan Wolfe in a vote Tuesday that three Democratic commission members are banking on to protect her from a Senate confirmation process - Wolfe is expected to lose a confirmation vote. Democrats argued a Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling in 2022 allows Wolfe to remain in the seat indefinitely — defying the efforts of election deniers to oust her after falsely accusing her of helping to steal the 2020 election, a claim that has been shown to have no merit, and is simply put: Not true.Before the “Big Lie” of 2020, Wolfe was unanimously endorsed by the commission for the administrator's job in 2019 and confirmed by the Republican majority in the Senate. It appears that while she was qualified to do the job prior, the only change is that she told the truth in 2020 which made former President and current federal indictment facer, Donald Trump, grumpy.Biden won Wisconsin by over 20,000 votes but that didn't stop Trump and his supporters from attacking Wolfe, who again was confirmed by a republican state senate, and claiming that she was a secret democrat or Biden agent, among other baseless attacks.Earlier this month, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on a campaign by some Republican state senators against confirming Wolfe for another term. https://wisconsinexaminer.com/2023/06/28/election-commission-fails-to-reappoint-wolfe-in-maneuver-to-keep-her-on-the-job/Iowa Governor Costs Taxpayers For Keeping SecretsThe Polk County District Court approved an agreement between the governor's office and three Iowa journalists and their media organizations following the Supreme Court's decision allowing an open records lawsuit to proceed in April.The Governor's office agreed to pay $135,000 (of tax payer money) in legal fees and costs incurred during the legal battle, as well as agreeing to undergo a one-year period of judicial oversight in regard to open records requests by the plaintiffs to ensure the office continues to comply with the state Open Records Act. In other words, Iowans will also be paying for judges to babysit the Governor's office because they can't play nice. Thomas Story, an attorney for the ACLU of Iowa, said:“Throughout this litigation, we have emphasized one crucial point: that nobody is above the law,” “The Iowa Supreme Court reinforced that point and set valuable precedent that supports the right of all Iowans to a transparent, responsive government at every level.”https://iowacapitaldispatch.com/2023/06/26/district-court-approves-settlement-in-open-records-lawsuit-against-governor/Missouri Independent, Arkansas Advocate, St. Louis Post Dispatch, Kansas Reflector, Wisconsin Examinor, and  Iowa Capital Dispatch

Hour 2 -  Happy Thursday, friends! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: Should we allow children to no longer like the rainbow because the LGBTQ has taken it over? Missouri Gov. Mike Parson on Wednesday signed a pair of bills into law banning transgender health care for minors and restricting athletes' participation in sports to teams that match their biological sex. Starting Aug. 28, Missouri health care providers won't be able to prescribe sex change surgeries for teens and children.

The CDC raised its alert level for monkeypox to level 2 on Monday, recommending that travelers wear masks, among other health measures.

Kansas lawmakers returned to the capitol last week for a whirlwind veto session, notable not only for what passed but also for what failed to make it across the finish line. Also, why former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens is stoking concern among Republican political insiders.

Gov. Gets "Hacked"Estonia VS Russian Gas

St. Louis Post-Dispatch journalist Josh Renaud heard gasps from across the newsroom when Missouri Gov. Mike Parson publicly accused him of being a hacker. The ordeal has caused anxiety and sleepless nights. Now that prosecutors have declined to file criminal charges, Renaud is telling his side of the story.

Law Licenses Suspended for McCloskeys, the Missouri Couple Who Held Off Protesters Outside Their Homehttps://gorightnews.com/law-licenses-suspended-for-mccloskeys-the-missouri-couple-who-held-off-protesters-outside-their-home/https://www.spreaker.com/user/9922149/law-licenses-suspended-for-mccloskeys-thhttps://rumble.com/vuw306-law-licenses-suspended-for-mccloskeys.htmlhttps://rumble.com/embed/vs9wxoThe Missouri Supreme Court has indefinitely suspended the law licenses of a Missouri couple convicted of misdemeanors for holding guns outside of their St. Louis home in 2020, when a group of protesters, including Black Lives Matter activists, demonstrated in their gated community.At the same time, the court stayed the suspension, subject to a year of probation during which the two attorneys—who have become folk heroes among conservatives—must “not engage in conduct that violates the Rules of Professional Conduct.”For defending their home, Mark and Patricia McCloskey were honored speakers at the 2020 Republican National Convention. Mark McCloskey is currently running for the U.S. Senate as a Republican.Although the McCloskeys, who were pardoned after their convictions by Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, a Republican, argued that they were justified in holding firearms outside of their home to dissuade the crowd, which they said meant them harm, local prosecutors disagreed.The case, which involved prosecutorial misconduct, received national media attention.Kimberly Gardner, a Democrat and St. Louis's first black chief prosecutor, who has accused local police of racism, was removed from the case in December 2020 by Circuit Judge Thomas Clark II for using the incident in inflammatory campaign fundraising emails that were sent out days before the McCloskeys were charged. Clark ruled that Gardner's behavior raised “the appearance of impropriety” and jeopardized the defendants' right to a fair trial, National Public Radio reported.Leftist financier George Soros, whose philanthropy funded groups that were involved in the violent protests following the 2014 death of black teenager Michael Brown in nearby Ferguson, Missouri, also contributed to Gardner's campaign through his political organizations as part of a “rogue prosecutors” campaign to elect soft-on-crime district attorneys, Capital Research Center found, according to the Washington Times. Critics say that these radical prosecutors have caused crime rates to escalate in communities across the country.The Black Lives Matter activists who appeared outside of the McCloskeys' home were marching to the home of the St. Louis mayor to protest the death in Minneapolis police custody of George Floyd, a black man whose death sparked violent protests nationwide. Nine protesters involved in the incident were charged with misdemeanor trespassing, but the charges were later dropped.The McCloskeys said at the time that their actions “were borne solely of fear and apprehension” at the presence of the mob on a private street.Under court rules, the fact that Mark and Patricia McCloskey were each convicted of a “misdemeanor offense involving moral turpitude” requires them to be disciplined, Chief Justice Paul C. Wilson wrote in twin orders on Feb. 8.Moral turpitude is a legal term describing “wicked, deviant behavior constituting an immoral, unethical, or unjust departure from ordinary social standards such that it would shock a community,” according to the Legal Information Institute.Mark McCloskey entered a guilty plea on June 17, 2021, to a “class A misdemeanor of harassment in the second degree,” Wilson wrote. He was fined $750. Patricia McCloskey entered a guilty plea on the same day to a “class C misdemeanor of assault in the fourth degree,” the chief justice wrote. She was fined $2,000.The couple had originally been charged with felony-level unlawful use of a weapon, although prosecutors reached a plea deal with them to reduce the severity of the charges.Alan Pratzel, the court's chief disciplinary officer, previously moved to have their law licenses suspended. He said what the couple did showed “indifference to public safety” and involved “moral turpitude.”Pratzel acknowledged that the governor's pardons erased the McCloskeys' convictions, but said in such cases “the person's guilt remains,” as The Epoch Times previously reported.Patricia McCloskey told local media that she was “disappointed the Supreme Court found it appropriate to discipline us.”“I think what we did was certainly not an act of moral turpitude,” she said.She noted that they'll both comply with the probation conditions.[Source: Waking Up Right Newsletter, The Epochtimeshttps://www.theepochtimes.com/law-licenses-suspended-for-mccloskeys-the-missouri-couple-who-held-off-protesters-outside-their-home_4266507.html]

Missouri's Republican governor is walking back comments that he would not nominate a state health director “who does not share the same Christian values.” And he's defending the state's legal campaign against mask mandates and its controversial law that bans police in Missouri from enforcing federal gun restrictions.
