Many Americans are ignorant of the U.S. Constitution. I think this is because most high school U.S. History course don’t really study it properly. Basically, the Constitution is taught as being a refined and finished product from the Founding Fathers in 1789 with the bill of rights in 1791. For […]
Today, John F. Wood decided to end his candidacy. The race is becoming a face-off between the red Eric Schmitt and the blue Trudy Busch Valentine. His rationale was that he was not facing Eric Greitens. Personally, I don’t think he needed to give a reason for terminating. And the […]
I am not going to argue the morality of state secrets, just as I am not going to argue the morality of capital punishment, standing armies, nuclear arsenals, or other sins of the modern nation. I will leave it at the fact that all nations practice these. I will keep […]
At some point, I realized that I wasn’t going to get to 10,000 signatures. I had a good plan. I didn’t have a team — paid canvassers, unpaid volunteers. How much time could I realistically spare with a full-time job, and a disabled wife? Where could I legally petition without […]

One hot day at the St. Louis Arch, Gateway to the West, I am playing my guitar and petitioning. I will be doing this until August 1. Yes, I will answer your questions about my platform. What I feel about the issues. What I want to get done with policy […]

One year ago, I wrote in this blog, “I am trying very hard not to “sell you tickets to the ghost train”. This train is real.” Yes, this train is real, but the quote is apt. The song I sing at the Gateway Arch “Freedom Train” recounts American History from […]
