More gaslighting.

Did the McChrystal Group suggest that you divide up allocation of vaccines by MSHP regions? If so, once again, MO taxpayers pay the price for inept political leaders that spend our money on private companies that screw us.
"After 10 weeks of statewide vaccine distribution, which Parson and Williams promised would be handled by population, Cape Girardeau County in southeast Missouri has received enough vaccine to cover more than 54% of its population; St. Louis County has received enough for 8.6%
of its population. The problem is bad enough that, perhaps accidentally, the governor finally acknowledged the state’s failure. On Wednesday, Parson tweeted a photo of National Guardsmen helping to administer vaccines in the “vaccine deserts” of Kansas City and St. Louis."
"Yes, governor, they are deserts. That is precisely what Dr. Garza was trying to let you know early on in the vaccination efforts. They are deserts because you have been sending too much vaccine to rural areas and not enough to the cities."stltoday.com/news/local/col…
"A Wednesday [Feb. 24th] mass vaccination event in southeast Missouri's Bollinger County, that saw only 648 of 1,950 available doses administered, has Missouri Gov. Mike Parson defending the state's distribution plan.radio.com/kmox/news/loca…

Sen. Doug Beck has offered SB243. This bill stops foreign corporate ownership of #Missouri farmland by prohibiting any future purchases of Missouri farmland by foreign corporations.

It also eliminates the W-9 loophole that essentially allowed foreign corporations to buy
#moleg
unlimited amounts of Missouri farmland by bypassing reporting requirements to the MO Dept of Ag.

The Senate Agriculture Committee will be hearing the bill on Monday at 2:30pm. They need to see an outpouring of support for this good bill.

Please call and email today!

The Kansas City Star castigates Sen. Hawley for his speech at CPAC.

Here's an opinion piece I never expected to see in a Baptist news org. However, mediabiasfactcheck.com rates them as left-center biased and factual in their reporting.
What does Pelagius have to do with Josh Hawley and White nationalism?

Watching User Clip: Jim McGovern v. Jason Smith @cspan c-span.org/video/?c494878…
I've had a difficult time finding out what "the formula" that @RepJasonSmith Smith talks about in this clip. I think that what he's referring to is the American Rescue Plan uses a modified Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) formula and funding to counties based on
population numbers.

I haven't found information on the "modified" CDBG formula. Here's what I found on eligibility for the grants. Image

@RepJasonSmith 's disinformation/misinformation campaign continues. "He [Rush Limbaugh] was able to cut through the spin and propaganda to provide clarity in a complicated world unlike anything we’ve ever seen."

Molly Ivens, back in 1995, wrote in a piece entitled "Lyin' Bully", "One of the things that concerns a lot of Americans lately is the increase in plain old nastiness in our political discussion. It comes from a number of sources, but Rush Limbaugh is a major carrier."

"Parson addressed his priorities during a virtual legislative event with the Missouri Farm Bureau." The Farm Bureau is funded by Big Ag. Why didn't he have the event with small family farm owners?

His record on supporting pre-K-12 education is abysmal, so what does he mean by
"his focus on education"?

Parson, the federal gov't has given MO lots of grant money to help extend broadband. How much $ has come from the state treasury?
Why does the Agricultural Product Utilization Contributor Tax Credit continue to be extended when the MO Auditor determined in 2007 that the it would create a $13.5 million loss to the state? Has the program changed since then so taxpayer money isn't being wasted?

1. Neither of these senators are on the Foreign Relations Committee.
2. Neither of these senators have cosponsored S.37 - Preventing Future Pandemics Act of 2021 congress.gov/bill/117th-con…
3. Unethical reactionary Senators like to receive headlines but often don't do their homework, i. e. rely on provable facts, before writing op-eds, speaking to the media, or sponsoring legislation.
