    Things that annoy me

    I read an article on this crockett. She went to a prestigious high school in St Louis, then went on to a highly regarded college, don't remember which one. This same article showed her in her years before running for congress speaking and it was very articulate. Fast forward to now. Appealing to...

    Things that annoy me

    I know Trump is much smarter than me when it comes to business but why fix what's not broken. The economy and the market were doing just fine. You have to know these countries are not going to sit back and not do anything. I'm afraid the common people will feel the brunt of this especially if...

    See George Binner wasn't a fluke. He should have gotten the star of the game. All the TV announcers were heaping praise on the way he held Canada in the game. I wanted the USA to win but it was nice knowing a St Louis Blue did so well. That woman that sang the Canadian National Anthem was...

    I don't have a problem with Trump pardoning most of the Jan.6 people but I don't think he should have on the ones that actually assaulted the police. I am bias having been a police officer for 40 years. But in regards to the other post about the 3 or 4 officers, think ex-officers now, that...

    The one post mentioned the endless war in Ukraine. Here is what stumps me. I just ordered some plastic 3D printed figures that are being produced in Ukraine. For some reason I can't wrap my head around a country that is being invaded by a superior force and yet that invaded country can still...

    Things that I really like

    The Daniel Penny acquittal, he was the subway rider who restrained the idiot acting a fool and threatening people on the NY subway. He should not have been charged in the first place but at least this jury got it right.

    Someone brought out an interesting point. If congress was to hold hearings on any corruption involving Biden. Hunter could not use the 5th amendment as he is immune to prosecution. Therefore he would have to testify. If not he could then be faced with other charges for not testifying. I'm not...

    Are when he got caught in an outright lie, "I misspoke". I will say this I only watched about 20 minutes of the debate but it was kinda nice that they weren't mf-ing each other all night.

    I remember a few years ago whenever the weather got a little colder than normal the weather person would call it an "artic vortex" whatever that was. Seems that year was the only year we had "artic vortex's" as I have not heard that term used again. You could have a triple ax murder and the lead...

    Things that annoy me

    I believe you can only bring up convictions not total arrest and only if the person charged takes the stand to testify. Brad is that correct? I'm sure Trump will use this somewhere in his campaign. This past Sunday a St. Louis Police Officer, my former department, was struck and killed while...

    Things that annoy me

    Missouri just executed another "innocent person" 11 minutes ago. The way these bleeding hearts talk every person in prison is innocent just because they say so. The guy they just "86,d" has been on death row for 24 years, now that's wrong! You would think that the police just go down the street...

    Don't get me wrong I do feel for the parents, relatives of the people who OD. There has been a "war on drugs" for as long as I can remember and as long as people will pay for illicit drugs we will have a problem. Again I'm not saying don't try to stop it but it will never go away. Just try to...

    Things that annoy me

    I may take heat for this but I feel no sympathy on these od cases. Everyone has a fee will. These people choose to do drugs. You say some people became addicted because they originally were prescribed opiates. Then why haven't everyone prescribed these drugs become addicted. WILL POWER. I get...

    I agree on the one set then sit there and play with the phone. If I see that happening and I want to use that piece of equipment I politely ask them can I use it. My big peeve are people who when lifting weights let out loud grunts. You look and they really are not lifting that much weight. It...

    In a perfect world that would work, lock them up no matter what. Not these days. You know who would be indicted if things went south? The police. You say they don't need permission? WRONG. The police department is a semi military organization The patrolmen take orders from the sergeant, the...

    Things that annoy me

    Don't blame the police. They are told by politicians what and what not to do. If it was strictly up to the police it would be less than 5 minutes before people would be locked up. Again if it was just up to the police about the first 4 or 5 would resist and after that the others would see what...

    One of my best friends as we came on the police department together but a few years later he became a secret service agent. I talked to him yesterday to get his take. He first said that the SS is responsible for 200 feet around the protected person the other areas are the responsibilities of...

    When I walked a foot beat in downtown St Louis in the late 70's, 80's we would always issue summons for "begging" it was a city ordinance violation. Now if they showed up in court is a different story. Speaking of downtown St Louis. It is a ghost town. One vacant building after another. No foot...
