We must stop blaming the wrong people as we try to find who is responsible for creating the crisis about the towed vehicles and claiming that the vehicles needed towing. Mr. Sanders and Mrs. Hope seem to have been trying to help Convention goers out. My theories about what happened are: An Employee, without permission, said they would clear cars by towing. They lied. An Employee was given an incentive to say they were going to tow cars by someone. The Hotel is lying about its policy. This one seems the least likely as there is no good reason for them to hide their policy, and they would also have no way to distinguish cars from Art Fest, Hotel Guests, Prom Attendees, and Convention Goers by 6 pm when many people had already left. There are bad actors in this. Either for trying to cover their own butts, for accidentally causing this, purposely causing this, hoping to blame Sophia Shore for this, or hoping to clear the attendees. We also need to know if the Convention rules allowed this to happen or if the Parliamentarian is to blame for advising Mrs. Shore to allow the motion to proceed. Was she forced to take it by rules, or was it bad advice?

******Details***** Jonica Hope shares information about the Missouri Republican State Convention. On the crucial date of May 4th, Representatives Ben Baker and Dan Stacy strategically employed parliamentary procedure to halt the resolutions that were in favor of life, medical freedom, and girl sports. They also managed to quash a resolution that could have potentially held representatives like them accountable. Ben Baker has a history of hurting conservative causes and criticizing conservative journalists. Jonica shares how they didn't allow a crisis to go to waste when it was announced tow trucks were outside the convention center. While there remain questions about the tow trucks and who called them or if they were there at all.

I'm taking a two-week hiatus to write a book, but here is a weekly review of the local news I've covered and written in Missouri and Christian County.

Were you not invited to the propaganda meal tonight at the VFW, put on by the Americans for Prosperity? They want to convince you that SB727 is a good bill, despite the fact that they refuse to allow journalist to come and record or ask questions. What does that say to you about their propaganda meal? If they are afraid of the press, then are they really confident about this bill? Or do they hope the gravy will make the lies easier to swallow? Gretchen Garrity from Right to Win Ozarks and I discuss the problems in SB727, though we don’t provide a meal because we are afraid you might choke on your food when you hear about this bad bill. This bill is unconstitutional. It violates our agreement with elected officials to protect us against an overreaching government. They should act in an interposition between the government and us, in this case, DESE and its collusion with wealthy businesses, to gain access to our children for its nefarious purposes. This bill also strips away the Safe Harbor language, which previously protected homeschooling families by providing a daily log and an activist prosecuting attorney. Now, despite having to do even more work, families no longer have Safe Harbor language, which would have protected them from accusations of educational neglect. Last, they have created a Fascist agreement with businesses that will make money off of the donated amounts by taking up to 10% for administrative and marketing costs by transferring the wealth to those who “deserve” it, according to this bill. So, if you don’t go to the VFW to get your propaganda with your meal, then listen to us discuss this bill and the problems with it. Below are my notes on SB727 Here is the SB727 Text to review.
