My friend Buddy unloaded his home last week. It’s been on the market so long they put mood lighting on the For Sale sign. The house was built during the Great Depression, and that’s how visitors describe it. To call it a “dump” gives garbage a bad name. The yard’s green...but it’s weeds. Buddy says if he can mow it, it can grow there. That may explain what happened to the missing earthworms. The kitchen needs lots of work. Not […]
WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Hope Hicks, the interim White House communications director, is now the permanent director, a White House spokesperson confirmed Tuesday. Hicks, 28, was among the first of President Donald Trump's staffers in his presidential campaign, and became interim communications director in August. She replaced Anthony Scaramucci, who was removed from the position in July; Scaramucci replaced Mike Dubke, who resigned in May. The Trump administration has thus had three communications directors in eight months. Prior to Trump's presidency, Hicks was employed by New York public relations firm Hiltzik […]

SPRINGFIELD (Heartland Newsfeed) -- The historic education funding reform enacted in Illinois last week is a compromise that will help students from all income levels, Rep. Keith Wheeler (R-Oswego) said as the House debated Senate Bill 1947 on August 28. “Ladies and gentlemen, this is a rare opportunity in my tenure here for us to actually look at what we can call a bipartisan success,” Wheeler said. “We haven’t done a lot of that lately. It’s time for us to […]
WASHINGTON (UPI) -- President Donald Trump on Friday ousted Steve Bannon, his chief White House political strategist and architect of his populist campaign, sources told The New York Times and NBC News. The Times reported Bannon has already returned to the helm of Breitbart.com, the conservative online news outlet he ran before joining Trump's campaign last year.

[…]

Davidsmeyer in the 100th District of the Illinois House of Representatives, as Pittsfield businessman Jonas Petty has thrown his name into the ring in next spring's primary.

Ray Downs, United Press International Writer WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The House approved a $788 billion national security bill Thursday that includes $1.6 billion towards a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The bill, which passed along mostly party lines, 235-192, mostly allocates money for programs other than beginning construction of the wall -- including energy, water, defense, the Army Corps of Engineers, and implementing a 5% raise in veteran's programs. GOP leaders praised the bill as a fulfillment of one of President Donald […]
Andrew V. Pestano United Press International JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (UPI) -- Republican Missouri Rep. Vicky Hartzler said she will not run for the Senate to challenge Democratic incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill. Hartzler's decision follows the same call by Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Mo., to seek reelection in the House rather than mount a campaign for a Senate seat in the 2018 midterm election. "After much prayer and discussion with my family I have decided to seek re-election to the United States […]
