China

If you're like me, an invasion by a foreign army seems unlikely and in most cases really unbelievable. However, the state of Missouri is warning that evil foreign agents are already here (so to speak) and they are targeting our water towers.

Here's one of those what-if scenarios you hope you never live to see. China has made some threats against the United States over Taiwan including nuclear retaliation. What if only one of those ICBM's were used against St. Louis, Missouri? A simulation map shows the devastation is likely greater than you think.

I'm no military expert, but I don't understand why the powers that be allowed this to happen. Did you know that China owns much farmland adjacent to two vital military bases in Missouri? It's being called a "grave national concern" for a good reason.

The world stage continues to heat up as China is staging war games around Taiwan. As the United States promises to protect Taiwan in the event of an invasion, China is threatening a "big war" against America if that happens and some of its 500 nuclear weapons are believed to be pointed at Missouri.

I love Chinese food and consider myself a loving person, but even I have been suspicious of why China wants to own so much Missouri farm land. The state apparently feels the same as it just dropped the hammer on how much land China can own in Missouri and where they can own it.

Arkansas is the southern neighbor to the Show-Me State, and they just became the 1st state to force China to sell the land in their state, will Missouri follow their lead? Here are the details...

I don't mean to offend, but I generally have low expectations for Pekin, Illinois. It's fine. I just don't get my hopes up too much. Even with that low bar, I've just learned something that stunned me. The fact that Pekin, Illinois really used to deeply believe (literally) that they had a direct connection to China.

It has been confirmed that residents in all 50 states have now reported receiving suspicious packages of seeds.

Every four years, you hear it from both sides of the aisle: "If my candidate doesn't win, I'm moving to Canada." The ratio of those who have said it compared to those who have actually done it is ridiculously lopsided. Primarily because it's not as easy as moving from Quincy to Hannibal...

I was inspired by a story I saw this morning about the efforts from citizens in Dull, Scotland to become a sister city to Boring, Oregon.  I personally think this is a great idea and apparently so do a bunch of Facebook people since there is now a page created for this project.  This brought to mind the fact that we have sister cities to our hometowns and haven't heard from them lately.
