ST. LOUIS (KMOV) -- St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner resigned Thursday amid a firestorm of legal troubles, including the Missouri Attorney General’s attempt to oust her from office. The Circuit Attorney’s Office confirmed the resignation, effective on June 1, on Twitter and in an email to News 4.

Yesterday's drone attack on the Kremlin (and other installations) mark the end of the Zelenski regime. While Russia had so far refrained from regime change in Kiev it will now have to pursue it. The former prime minister of Israel Naftali Bennet had reported that president Putin had promised him not to hit Zelenski:“I knew Zelensky was under threat, in a bunker… I said to [Putin], ‘Do you intend to kill Zelensky?’ He said, ‘I won’t kill Zelensky,’” Bennett recalled in the interview, which was published on his own YouTube channel. ...Bennett said he called the Ukrainian president immediately after...

Missouri’s incompetent Circuit Attorney, Kim Gardner, backed by George Soros funds, has finally resigned thanks to pressure from Republicans around the state. Soros funded her her election in 2016 and again in 2020. She was going to seek a third term as of last month, but her resignation letter is dated effective June 1. Her office is dysfunctional, and she won’t prosecute minority criminals. Earlier this year, a criminal violated his bond over fifty times and was awaiting trial in a separate armed robbery case. While out on bail, he drove into a teen volleyball player. She lost both her...

Dr. Shonna Waters is Vice President of Strategic Alliances & Partnerships at BetterUp. “There’s a social contract between an employee and an employer,” Waters says, noting that some of these “contract” elements are stated, as in an employment agreement and job description, while others remain unstated and more subjective, such as workplace recognition and employees feeling appreciated and valued. “The boundaries of work have just disappeared. And people are finding this harder and harder to push back [and return to] what was that original contract, what have we agreed to. It can feel like you're on call 24/7, and you’re...

Boston, Mass., May 3, 2023 / 13:30 pm Republican Gov. Phil Scott of Vermont signed a bill Tuesday allowing non-residents to avail themselves of the state’s assisted suicide law. Vermont legalized assisted suicide in 2013, but with this new law became the first state in the nation to change its legislation to allow the life-ending procedure to those living out of state, according to the Associated Press. Oregon stopped enforcing its residency requirement for assisted suicide in 2022 but has not enshrined that provision in law. Earlier this year Vermont reached a settlement with a Connecticut woman who had sued...

One of the greatest betrayals in our history happened while America slept.. When Biden met with Lula da Silva, the founder of the Marxist Brazil’s Workers’ Party and a convicted criminal, it was a victory lap for both socialists. Lula da Silva, Brazil’s former leader, had survived his bribery conviction and rigged an election that overthrew Jair Bolsonaro: his conservative patriotic predecessor. Biden had survived his own trial by fire during the midterms which locked down the 2024 Democrat nomination. Lula also met with fellow Marxists: Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. Biden and Lula talked of “democracy” and “fighting...

Tammy Wynette’s mother gave her the wonderful gift of birth on the 5th of May, 1942. Tammy went on to become a legendary country music champion who fought like hell to get mothers more respect and articulate their needs. Wynette channeled the spirit of Hank Williams away from the interests of men towards the deep concerns of women as mothers. In D-I-V-O-R-C-E she wrote of the pain of family break-up: “I spell out all the hurtin’ words And turn my head when I speak ‘Cause I can’t spell away this hurt That’s drippin’ down my cheek.” Another number one hit....

They all knew it was a lie. Former CIA Director John Brennan and former DNI James Clapper will now be forced to testify before the House Weaponization subcommittee about the statement they signed in 2020 discrediting the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian propaganda. Just the News founder John Solomon on Thursday evening obtained an email...
