Sportsplex misinformation

To all the people who shared false messages about what happened at the Sportsplex, realize that all you do is create panic and misinformation, which in itself can actually lead to injury. If you don't know something is true, don't make things worse. And above all, when real, fact-based information comes out, don't then suggest, stupidly, that a coverup is taking place. You are part of the problem. You are the one creating the falsehoods.

No on RFK Jr.

Called both Missouri Senators to NOPE to RFKJr today. All operators were busy. Will they actually listen to the will of the people? Kennedy is unfit in every way.

Spending priorities

Re: Cape council receives annual audit report with no deficiencies found. So, saying that the money spent was reported properly, yet no subsequent validation that spending was in the best overall interest of those funding the expenditures? Pay no attention to the man (or woman) behind the curtain.

Unlikely pair

Wow , Josh Hawley and Bernie Sanders as a team. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., co-sponsored a bill capping credit card interest at 10% — Trump talked about it. It sounds great, except it will virtually eliminate credit cards for all but the very rich. Reality check: The laws of economics cannot be repealed even by an act of Congress. Sure, sticking it to the banks sounds great — but it will hurt the very people it’s designed to help.
