Our law enforcement officers go above and beyond the call of duty every single day. They know that when they lace up their boots in the morning and kiss their loved ones goodbye, they might never return home. Fortunately, most do, but that's tragically what happened yesterday in Independence.

According to reports, a process server was serving an eviction notice when, in an instant, a gunman opened fire. An Independence police officer responded to the scene to render aid. Tragically, both were fatally wounded. Two other officers who responded to the scene were wounded.

If you want to grow a good crop, you need to put in a couple of things—nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and a whole lot of blood, sweat, and tears. Even then, you're going to need a good deal of prayer, planning, and rain to make things work.

Farming is what economists call a high-operating cost, low-margin business. To put it simply, it costs a lot of money to scratch out a living farming.

The death tax is something I’ve been fighting for years. It just doesn’t make sense. We work all our lives to scrape by, pay taxes all along the way, and if we’re lucky, pass something along to our children. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why the federal government thinks it’s owed something when we die. Death shouldn’t be a taxable event.

The crisis happening on our southern border is weighing on the minds of Americans across the country, and for good reason. Since President Biden took office, there have been over 7 million illegal crossings, with over 302,000 illegal immigrants encountered in December 2023 alone.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is a lifeline for millions of Americans. Whether you live in Kansas City, Macon, Troy or anywhere else across North Missouri, we all count on the Postal Service to deliver our prescriptions, bills, packages, and checks on time.

It's so important, that the Postal Service is the only federal agency specifically authorized by our Constitution. Delivering the mail on time is one of the few things the federal government should do—and should do well. Unfortunately, they aren't.
