Opinions

With Missouri’s 2022 legislative session just around the corner, you can expect to see more frequent communications from my office in the coming months. Since the Legislature adjourned last spring, I’ve been busy visiting with constituents at fairs, festivals, and other public events. I’ve also...
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive in the womb, and shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Emmanuel (ancient Septuagint/Brenton's 1851 English Translation).         In this third discussion of the Early Church's...
As a loyal conservative Republican, I still believe that Missouri's Attorney General Eric Schmitt should be arrested, charged, tried, and convicted of crimes against humanity... especially in light of our state motto "salus populi suprema lex esto" the health / welfare of the people should be the...
In honor of the 80th anniversary, today, of those who lost their lives at Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, so we can freely express our opinions, perhaps Mark Twain said it best when he said, "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble, it’s what you know for sure that just isn't so...

Hebrews 10:5 Wherefore when he (Christ) cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me (KJV).       Approaching the holy seasons of Advent, we genuinely appreciate St. Paul quoting Psalms 40:6 from the ancient Greek Septuagint...
Genesis 6:14 Make therefore for thyself an ark of square timber; thou shalt make the ark in compartments, and thou shalt pitch it within and without with pitch (Orthodox Bible from the ancient Greek Septuagint). To get our minds momentarily off Covid, I am starting a new adventure, and I invite...
I’m writing to let you know that I’ve encountered one of America’s main problems right here in Willow Springs MO. You published an opinion of mine where I mentioned the irregularities of our election last November. More states are now looking closely at those results, they are finding that...
