they can all kill

Thank You for Completing the Tea Party Journey gloating over election

Thank You for Completing the Tea Party Journey: "
You've Completed the Journey
Thank you.

Last week, you helped elect a Tea Party President. Don't let anyone tell you Trump isn't the Tea Party's product. He is. Without the Tea Party--without you--Hillary Clinton would be getting ready to nominate Barrack Obama to the Supreme Court.

Without you, most of the 1st and 2nd Amendments would be on their way to the ash heap of history.

Without you, the American experiment would be about to end in surrender to putrid kleptocracy.

But you never folded, never whined, never ran away from the fight. Even though the Tea Party became less visible, we became more formidable.

In short, we won.

We still have the hard work of accountability, of course. The war isn't won, just the battle.

But that, my friends, was a crucial battle. While our win on November 8 does not assure final victory, a loss would have meant certain defeat. Defeat for everything we stood for. Defeat for the founding philosophy of America. Defeat for the idea of self-governance. Defeat for the rule of law. Defeat for Judeo-Christian civilization.

As I wrote last week, Trump's win completed the Tea Party. And, while we may not go away, we finally have an answer when asked, "what has the Tea Party accomplished?"

We can now say simply, "we've made America great again."

Thank you for being with us through every battle, from the steps of the Arch in February 2009 to Russ Carnahan's office parking lot to the front porch of SEIU. Those boiling hot nights of August 2009. Those depressing days of horrible Supreme Court decisions. That deflating evening in November 2012.

Finally, to bastardize a line from that great adopted-American Winston Churchill, if the American experiment lasts another thousand years, let them say the Tea Party saved the country.

Sincerely,
Bill Hennessy

as I watch results of elections

dems taking a beating.

why:?

Bernie sanders would have won far more because the powers-that-be  misread the mood of the american people.  Many dems are candy-assed fighters.  You fight as dirty or dirtier than your opponents in such fights.  High road---my behind.

watch tomorrow and see how many union folks voted republician.  we did predict some defenctions to gop when bernie was screwed.

JEFFERSON CITY • Missouri’s prisons were largely quiet over the weekend against the backdrop of a nationwide threat by inmates to go on strike.
George Lombardi, director of the Missouri Department of Corrections, told a legislative panel Monday that the state’s 21 facilities experienced no uprisings as part of a push by activists aimed at highlighting labor conditions within prisons.
“We’re very fortunate we had none,” Lombardi told members of the House Appropriations-Public Safety Committee.
There were problems in other states.

2016 Ballot Measures missouri

2016 Ballot Measures:



click link



two tobacco tax increases and I intend to vote against them  this is the larger



Official Ballot TitleConstitutional Amendment 3
[Proposed by Initiative Petition]
Official Ballot Title:
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to:
  • increase taxes on cigarettes each year through 2020, at which point this additional tax will total 60 cents per pack of 20;
  • create a fee paid by cigarette wholesalers of 67 cents per pack of 20 on certain cigarettes, which fee shall increase annually; and
  • deposit funds generated by these taxes and fees into a newly established Early Childhood Health and Education Trust Fund?
When cigarette tax increases are fully implemented, estimated additional revenue to state government is $263 million to $374 million annually, with limited estimated implementation costs. The revenue will fund only programs and services allowed by the proposal. The fiscal impact to local governmental entities is unknown.
 Fair Ballot Language:
“yes” vote will amend the Missouri Constitution to increase taxes on cigarettes each year through 2020, at which point this additional tax will total 60 cents per pack of 20. This amendment also creates a fee paid by cigarette wholesalers of 67 cents per pack of 20 on certain cigarettes. This amendment further provides that the funds generated by these taxes and fees shall be deposited into a newly established Early Childhood Health and Education Trust Fund.
“no” vote will not amend the Missouri Constitution relating to taxes and fees on cigarettes.
If passed, this measure will increase taxes on cigarettes.

Obamacare Is Now Beyond Rescue





alas, obamacare far worse than this.

Fable of the Bees by Bernard Mandeville





very famous philosophy argument against public welfare and more.  predates the

american revolution and elements still used today

pipelines, a comment

It is well known that I and many members of soar 11-3 have opposed and condemned pipeline construction, upkeep, planning, politics and more of pipeline construction.  The   Dakota pipeline is nothing novel or new.

In our estimation, it is being built on land stolen from indians and farmers, it could well become an enviromental disaster and the benefits will not trickle down to workers, farmers and everyone else.

watching vids of how the construction company treated protesters looks like some of the antilabor films from the 1930s.  dogs and teargas for unarmed women and children, how brave.

this, I speak for myself at this point and time.
