Another campaign promise is that in my first 100 days as Senator, I will work to increase the overall intelligence level of the US Congress. This can be considered a jibe at the current intelligence level of congressmen and women, but it really is a serious exhortation. And an incredible […]
Strauss for US Senate in ’22 for Missouri
As part of my candidate run for U.S. Senate in Missouri, I try to reach out. Am I a “real” person to you? This can be difficult to do in our virtual networked society where so much of our interactions are via zoom. But what is greener than going to […]
Dear Nick, I am terrified of bullies and haters. I will only allow you to print my letter, IF you list me as anonymous as well sing songs about these four topics: please make songs about stopping police brutality, stopping bullying, hypocrisy within the democratic party, and protest the media […]
Often, when I am petitioning, I am asked “What are you?” This is a general question with many interpretations. It really is a grab bag politically, but it really boils down to whether I am liberal or conservative, or whether I am Republican or Democrat. The citizen wants to know […]

People talk about the “forever wars” and the costs of war associated with them to our US Government and the US economy. During the height of the Afghanistan war, when we had 100,000 men and women in uniform fighting, we were spending about 100 billion $ a year. A BBC […]
Hi, I downloaded the most current version of FECfile onto my Windows 7 PC. The installer works great, and FECFile runs. But then it says I have to upgrade and the installer runs agains. Then when I try to run I get the error "MSVCR120.DLL not found" and the program […]
I am standing on a soap box. I am an Independent candidate with about 150 signatures, and I need 10,000 to be legitimate. Still, I am a registered with the US Federal Elections Commission (FEC) for US Senate in 2022. And I know that each of those who signed my […]
It’s 2021 and the U.S. has unilaterally withdrawn from Afghanistan. Why? It is not because we were losing the war — we had a stable occupation. It is not because we ran out of money — we are planning on spending trillions of dollars on infrastructure. It is not because […]
