This has been a very difficult year for those of us who live in Missouri’s southern rural areas. Over 100,00 children were removed from Medicaid and now we are dealing with the Corona Virus pandemic disrupting our lives, not only medically but financially.
Missourians will be voting on Missouri...
I hate to break it to you folks, but not only are Americans becoming extinct, but so is America! In addition to children who weren’t raised correctly, the average voter across our land doesn’t care that they continue to vote for Representation in D.C. and our State who go with the flow. I would...
Dear Editor:
I have a few things on my mind that I would like to share.
I would like to thank Convoy of Hope and all the churches who have been involved in distributing the boxes of food every Thursday. They have gone above and beyond making sure the residents of Willow Springs Senior Housing have...
Letter to the Editor:

Defund?
Morning folks. I have been watching the news sometimes and am really confused. No police? So what do we do without police? Now just about everybody has a gun or two or three. And some are fully automatic. Hell is just one trigger finger away and no police? Death all around everybody!...
This letter is in regards to the nationwide rioting going on.
One of their supporters has claimed that this is what the founding fathers did in their day. That is not correct! The founding fathers petitioned their government- King George III and the English Parliament- for years before citizens...
