Burlison Files Legislation to Expand MO “Stand Your Ground” Laws
Senator Eric Burlison has pre-filed legislation that would expand Missourians’ rights under the current ‘stand your ground’ law. Under current law, the defendant has the burden to prove he or she reasonably believed physical or deadly force was necessary to protect him or herself or a third person. This act provides that there shall be a presumption of reasonableness that the defendant believed such force was necessary to defend him or herself or a third person.
Eigel Pre-Files Legislation to Fight Vaccine Mandates
Senator Bill Eigel has pre-filed legislation for the upcoming session of the Missouri General Assembly that, if passed, would prohibit employers in the state from requiring the covid-19 vaccine as a condition of employment. Under this act, no private or public employer may require an employee or prospective employee to receive a vaccination against COVID-19 as a condition of commencing or continuing employment.
Koenig Files “School Freedom Act” Relating to Covid-19 Policies
Senator Andrew Koenig has pre-filed legislation that, if passed, would restrict the way schools in Missouri are able to implement covid-19 policies. The act establishes the "School Freedom Act". No public or charter school shall implement or enforce any student dress requirements or COVID-19 preventative measures that include a mask or face covering mandate. No student shall be required, as a condition of school attendance or participation in school-sponsored extracurricular activities, to be immunized against COVID-19 or to undergo any testing policy as an alternative to a COVID-19 vaccination. A school may require a student to have a negative COVID-19 test to return to school attendance and activities following a positive COVID-19 test or COVID-19 symptoms. Schools shall allow parents or legal guardians the authority to choose whether to quarantine their child or send their child to school following close contact with an individual with COVID-19, provided that the child does not demonstrate COVID-19 symptoms or test positive for COVID-19.
Opinion: Still Looking for the Perfect Gift? Consider the Gift of Education
By Scott Fitzpatrick
Somehow, it’s December already, and Christmas is mere days away.
If you are still looking for gift ideas for any of the children in your life, don’t forget the gift of education and contribute to their MOST 529 Education account. Sure, it isn’t a Red Ryder, carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle, with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time, but studies show that children with 529 accounts are more likely to pursue higher education.
Greitens Flips on SAPA after Missouri Firearms Coalition Video Goes Viral
Last week we wrote about Aaron Dorr of the Missouri Firearms Coalition going after Eric Greitens’ opposition to the Second Amendment Preservation Act, calling Greitens claims “unforgivable”. Greitens claimed that SAPA would defund the police.
After thousands of views of MFC’s video on Facebook and YouTube, Greitens reversed course this weekend saying he “100% supports” the “Missouri Second Amendment Protection Act”.
Senate Leaders Face Pushback Tying Debt Fight to Defense Bill
Senate leadership is facing bipartisan pushback over one option floated for raising the country’s debt ceiling: tying it to a sweeping defense bill. The path has potential benefits. By tying a deeply partisan debt limit fight to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which typically passes with wide bipartisan support, leadership takes two items off of Congress's packed year-end to-do list ahead of a Dec. 15 deadline for taking action on the borrowing limit. But the idea is already setting off alarm bells on both sides of the Capitol. Both House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who agree on little these days, are warning that a defense bill that includes a debt ceiling hike would struggle to clear their chamber. “We’ve told the Senate that. That’s the reality. Those are the numbers,” Hoyer said. Hoyer confirmed the option has been discussed by Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) but added, “We don’t think it’s the best option because we’re not sure we can do it. And we have to pass the debt limit.”
Bob Dole, Soldier and Stalwart of the Senate, Dies at 98
Bob Dole, the plain-spoken son of the prairie who overcame Dust Bowl deprivation in Kansas and grievous battle wounds in Italy to become the Senate majority leader and the last of the World War II generation to win his party’s nomination for president, died on Sunday. He was 98. His death was announced by the Elizabeth Dole Foundation. It did not say where he died. He had announced in February that he had Stage IV lung cancer and that he was beginning treatment. A Republican, Mr. Dole was one of the most durable political figures in the last decades of the last century. He was nominated for vice president in 1976 and then for president a full 20 years later. He spent a quarter-century in the Senate, where he was his party’s longest-serving leader until Mitch McConnell of Kentucky surpassed that record in June 2018. President Biden called Mr. Dole “an American statesman like few in our history. A war hero and among the greatest of the Greatest Generation.” He added, “To me, he was also a friend whom I could look to for trusted guidance, or a humorous line at just the right moment to settle frayed nerves.”
