By NewsPress Now Nothing but hate I see where Trump and the Republican allies are spreading lies about FEMA assistance. How can any true American not see that he is nothing but hate, is a hate monger? Their denial is bad If Republicans who hold office cannot admit that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election,

By NewsPress Now Where do they get their info? We just had a blowout jobs report. Unemployment is down, wages are increasing by more than 4% and inflation is going down. Where are Trump, Vance and the MAGA Republicans getting their economic information? Social media. Small potatoes To the caller that called in about Gov.

By NewsPress Now It’s a raceway I was wondering when the police are going to be out there on Woodbine Rd. It is a raceway there. There’s people going to faster than 35 miles an hour and there’s no police officers to pull them over. Debate was interesting The VP debate was rather interesting. Walz

By NewsPress Now Wrong state You know, this is on payment disability. I called the Missouri Disability Association the other day about getting my disability. I get a phone call back from New Jersey.

By NewsPress Now Just once would be nice Hey MoDOT, just once but I like to go from St. Joseph to Springfield or St. Louis or Hannibal or even Kansas City without having my teeth knocked out.
