“Hi! How ya doin’?”
That was how Megyn Kelly greeted Donald Trump at Thursday night’s Republican presidential debate. The Fox News anchor and the GOP frontrunner hadn’t encountered each other since their notorious clash way back in August of last year. (Yes, think about how long ago that was and weep.) Their reunion came midway through the debate. Things felt like they had somewhat recovered from the segment about Trump’s penis size—which was so surreal that it virtually obliterated the next half hour from the collective consciousness—and Kelly looked like she was ready to get into it with her former tormentor. She promptly did.
Here’s where I add the normal Kelly caveats: She can stir up a lot of nasty, racist stuff when she feels like it. But she takes her role as one of the vetters-in-chief for the Republican establishment very seriously, and she makes sure that she does her homework when she decides she’s going to go for blood. Judging from her handling of Trump, she was hungry.

Welcome to my blog. As a member of the St. Louis chapter of the Retired Steelworkers and a member of the Alliance for Retired Americans, I can say without a doubt groups are busy in the St. Louis area. This blog is a modest effort to inform members and the general public of some of our activities and concerns. I will also "soapbox" areas and issues.
We see the solution to many of the woes of the St. Louis area as economic and political. St. Louis has a myrid of problems, but a strong economy with responsible leaders would help greatly in the solution to these woes. Alas, such is lacking on several levels with many of the "civil leaders" squabbling like children or worse, taking care of special interests instead of the public. Business leaders? get real, many of these so called leaders shame the term "Captains of Industry".
Once the St. Louis area was a leader in many areas. Now, some of the area can be compared to Third world areas with no problems what so ever.
That is unacceptable.
