They want military rule. So now they got us doing paperwork since they’re all inept at documentation.

The Guvna is an AssHoe not KeHoe.

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe is dispatching the Missouri National Guard to help support President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement efforts.

The GOP governor announced on Tuesday that, starting on October 1, members of the Missouri National Guard will “assist with administrative, clerical, and logistical duties at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing facilities within the State of Missouri.”

“Public safety, keeping Missourians safe, and upholding the rule of law is our administration’s top priority,” Kehoe said in a statement. “The Missouri National Guard is uniquely equipped to provide this essential administrative support, and we are confident their contributions will be invaluable to immigration enforcement efforts. Missouri is proud to join in the Trump administration’s efforts to keep our state and nation secure.”

Kehoe’s move comes as the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement tactics are garnering a broader public outcry, most notably this week in Chicago. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has called on Chicago residents to film ICE personnel who have been spotted Downtown.

When asked if the Missouri National Guard will protect ICE facilities or ICE personnel detaining people who are suspected in being in the country unlawfully, Kehoe spokeswoman Gabby Picard said members of the Guard will assist “with tasks such as data entry, case management, and logistical support, enabling ICE personnel to focus on core enforcement and security functions.”

Democratic state Rep. Ray Reed, D-St. Louis County, criticized Kehoe’s decision, adding that “it does not make our communities safer.”

Goteem!

Weaponizing the Cops.

Modern Day Lynchings.

A woman staying at a Holiday Inn called 911, claiming a Black man was breaking into her room. The hotel staff immediately knew she was lying, as the man she accused was just checking in at the front desk. The situation went from bad to worse for her when the responding officer turned out to be a Black officer.
Visibly frustrated that her plan was failing, she refused to cooperate. She ended up being arrested

After they didn’t listen in 2015, I sent a press release to then leadership about our reality. Just change the names to the current people and it’s still spot on.

Press Release from Tyree Byndom in response to statements from the Mayor Bob McDavid and City Manager Mike Matthes of Columbia, MO in the news media and my take of our state of affairs, in this community. (Both of them gone now!)

The City of Columbia has been no more responsive than the University of Missouri when it has come to addressing systemic racism and the city’s lack of empathy toward minorities and minority based issues. The current administration essentially played us all for fools when they created the “Mayor’s Task Force on Community Violence.” After 14 months of sincere effort by an exceptionally diverse group of individuals devoted to curbing Columbia’s violence and its subsequent root causes, the report that was submitted to the City Council in November of 2014 still sits gathering dust. We were lied to at its inception and told that our solutions would be acted upon. A year later, we were informed that we were nothing more than an idea generator, and that our ideas might be considered at some future date. Of course, no funding mechanism has ever been added to the City’s budget, and since Columbia is now somewhat desensitized to reports of gun violence, the mayor and the City Council don’t feel the same degree of pressure that they did when the task force was originally formed.

I was a member of that task force, and I have personally met with the Mayor of Columbia as well as the City Manager, Mike Matthes. I have had meetings with REDI, UMC, Columbia Public Schools and several Boone County Commissioners. I have shared my ideas, my concerns and viable solutions devised by our task force and solutions that have also worked well in other cities nationwide. People have been willing to listen to me, but it has been with the same polite patronization that epitomizes the systemic racism they unwittingly propose to address.

The truth is minorities, the marginalized, the disenfranchised and disadvantaged in our community have no real voice in City government. And even though I have explained the “trifecta of poverty” to the powers that be, our current leadership is unwilling to be proactive and work toward genuine long-term solutions that will guarantee the safety and welfare of the community. Their unwillingness to think globally and address the serious issues at hand is what brought down the President of the University of Missouri. I would hate to think that change in Columbia is only possible via protest, sit-ins or hunger strikes and not through sensible discourse and an honest effort on the part of our leadership.

An effort to prevent a new Missouri congressional map from going into effect is getting a boost from the Democratic National Committee.

The DNC announced on Monday that it will be contributing staff and financial resources to help bolster a referendum effort to place the new map up for a statewide vote. A group called People Not Politicians is trying to collect roughly 106,000 signatures before the middle of December to prevent the new lines from going into effect until a successful statewide vote.

They want our active oppression to be bitter sweet.

Gov. Mike Kehoe said the request prioritizes healthy foods and nutritional value and supports Missouri agriculture.
