Highest rate of Missouri state senators facing primary challengers since 2014
Six of the nine Missouri state senators running for re-election—all Republicans—face contested primaries. That equals 67% of incumbents seeking re-election, the highest rate since 2014. This is also the first cycle since 2014 with more than one Republican incumbent facing primary challengers. A primary is contested when there are more candidates running than available nominations, meaning at least one candidate must lose. Historically, however, Missouri incumbents tend to win contested primaries.
The total number of contested primaries—including those without incumbents—is also at its highest point this year. With 17 districts holding elections, there are 34 possible primaries every election cycle. This year, there are 13 contested primaries, all among Republicans. This is the first time since 2014 without any contested Democratic primaries in the chamber. All but four districts up for election will have a contested Republican primary.

[Opinion] Missouri lawmaker again tries, fails to pass MONA
By Don Hinkle
It was tried again – and failed. State Sen. Greg Razor, a homosexual from a Kansas City district, offered the so-called Missouri Non-discrimination Act (MONA) and once again the Missouri General Assembly rejected it. MONA, similar to the so-called federalized “Equality Act,” would restrict religious freedom, threaten faith-based charities and undermine the civil rights protections for women and girls. It would represent the most dramatic departure from the foundations of civic tolerance that Missourians have ever seen.
The carnage that would lie in its wake if ever passed would be devastating because it would attack the conscience of every citizen who disagrees with the LGBTQ+ agenda. For example, women’s shelters for those escaping domestic abuse or homelessness could be forced to house biological males who identify as women. It disregards the privacy and safety concerns that women rightly have about sharing sleeping quarters and intimate facilities with the opposite sex. This legislation would also harm women’s sports and scholarships as girls would be forced to compete with biological males for limited positions.

Epictetus and the Enslavement of Your Mind
By Paul Curtman
People like to think more highly of themselves, but the truth is that if you are like the vast majority of people in the world, you are quick to believe what you are told to believe, especially if it is something that reinforces a bias you already have. People instinctively trust sources that seem reliable. The mainstream media is only mainstream because it’s of all the different streams of information, Fox News, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS etc. are the main streams of information people prefer. People also are likely to believe bias reinforcing information when they hear from their congressman, the White House Press Secretary, or a scholarly journal. When people see information from a “trusted” institution, they are usually quick to surrender their minds and accept what they are told.
Every night when we go to bed we lock our doors because we aren’t comfortable trusting people with access to our homes while we sleep. But when it comes to safeguarding our mind we’re less concerned about who we let have access to it. We open the door to strangers on social media. We let any headline that comes across our social media feed immediately affect us – without even clicking on the link and reading the article, we’ve already “liked” it, shared it or commented on it. We judge headlines and what social media “friends” are saying about important issues rather than looking inward and reflecting on who are and who we want to be.
