Presidential Immunity?

Situation that happens often these days. We are not technically at war with any country. The president authorizes a drone strike somewhere in the world against a bad guy the USA doesn't like, the target and a half dozen innocent bystanders are killed.

No charges, no arrest, no trial. The president just decides to kill some people.

Should he be allowed to be charged with murder after he is out of office??

Bullit

Glad that making a joke when you are wrong makes you feel better.

The Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau consists of 39 primarily rural counties in the southern third of Missouri. It includes the cities of Springfield, Branson and Cape Girardeau. This region is mainly located in the Ozarks and Bootheel of Missouri, where Catholics make up about 5% of the total population.

They Called Me a Mad-Man! M-I-Z!

I said a couple of months back that this was the most talented/best Mizzou team in 50+ years. I received pushback from the Nostalgic old men in here.

At the time I said Mizzou went toe to toe with the #1 Team in the country, on the road and actually dominated the L.O.S. Didnt do any gimmicks/trick plays just lined up man on man and played with Georgia. NO OTHER MIZZOU TEAM has ever done that or even close.

Mizzou still lost the game because we have a C- player at QB.

Then we go to the Cotton Bowl and physically whip the Buckeyes. Knocked their QB out the game and bullied them at the line.

This team may have 6 or 7 guys be drafted and maybe 10+ play in the NFL. Extremely talented group. The other great Mizzou teams, all were too soft in the end. I believe if this team had even a B- QB they would have won the National Championship.

Bill would open Mizzou Public School sports to home-schooled students...

A bill to allow home-educated students to participate in Missouri public school activities is back for the upcoming legislative session -- and has been coupled with provisions rolling back state oversight of homeschooling families.

Sen. Ben Brown, a Washington Republican, pre-filed a 52-page bill that largely resembles the version he sponsored that cleared the Senate last session.

While it initially was only two pages and focused on giving homeschool kids the opportunity to play sports and join clubs in public schools, it now would add a new category for home-educated students and rescind attendance officers' authority over homeschool families.

"As a former athlete myself whose childhood was greatly impacted by my participation in the sport of wrestling, I feel strongly that it is wrong to deny these potentially life-changing opportunities to children," Brown told the Senate Education and Workforce Development Committee during a March hearing.

The Missouri State High School Activities Association policy is to allow homeschool students to participate in their local school districts' sports if they are enrolled in at least one credit hour of instruction, which is typically two classes in non-block-scheduled schools. School districts are allowed to be more restrictive and ban homeschool participation.

Brown's bill would prohibit schools from requiring enrollment in classes, but any instruction or training required for the club or sport would still be allowed.

No one testified in opposition to the bill in March, but that was expanded to remove local oversight of homeschooling families.

Oversight

State Rep. Maggie Nurrenbern, a Kansas City Democrat, said what concerns her about the legislation is "simply not knowing which students are being homeschooled."

"It's imperative ... that when parents make the decision to homeschool their child, we have some reporting procedures in place so that we know which students are actually being homeschooled," she said in an interview with the Independent.
