Editorial: Direct superpower confrontation with China no longer seems a distant scenario

Ominous signs are growing about the potential for direct military conflict between the United States and China. It’s not every day when a top military commander predicts in a memo that military confrontation could happen by 2025 with Beijing. But that’s exactly what Gen. Michael A. Minihan warned a few…

Best Bites: Hostess Crispy Minis

Made with light-as-air wafers, real cocoa and mint and topped with a flaky sea salt, these new snacks from Hostess were a big hit in my family. Each piece is about the size of a quarter (but square in shape) and have about 25 calories. Two of them completely satisfied…

Lynn Schmidt: Coping with a post-shame world

Growing up I remember hearing the phrase “Have you no shame?” That question must have held some power back in the day. But if you asked that now, some shapers of our current political culture would respond with a resounding “No.” Hyper-partisanship has moved us into a post-shame world.

Editorial: Nichols' death shows complexities of police violence — and urgency of reform

The fact that the five Memphis former police officers accused in the beating death of Black motorist Tyre Nichols are themselves Black could actually clarify the issue of police violence, which is more complicated than just a few bigoted white cops. It highlights that policing in America is in desperate…

Benjamin Hochman: What matters isn’t Chip Caray’s relations to Harry, but his relationship with St. Louis

ST. LOUIS — His is the televised voice of summer, the chosen voice to serve as a soundtrack for St. Louis. Chip Caray’s narrations will carry across Cardinal Nation, wafting and weaving through the city like a knuckleball, from living room to back patio; from the neighbor’s home to the…

Editorial: Drag-show measure is a right-wing faux controversy dressed up as a real issue

Jefferson City has once again immersed itself in faux controversy. This time, some Republican legislators are sounding the alarm about drag shows that are supposedly corrupting Missouri’s youth. The topic is so silly that even top legislative Republicans are trying to shrug it off, but that didn’t prevent last week’s…

Editorial: The right's meltdown over M&Ms reveals more than just a chocolatey center

It’s unclear whether the recent move by Mars Wrigley candy to sideline its iconic M&Ms “spokescandies” is a genuine reaction to the silliest right-wing controversy yet, or is just a setup for a commercial stunt in the upcoming Super Bowl. Either way, we were hesitant to bite on this non-issue…

It's official: Caray's deal to call Cardinals games on television is finalized

It was in October 1969 when Harry Caray was fired as the Cardinals' lead broadcaster, one of the most controversial — if not the most controversial — moves in St. Louis sportscasting history. The dismissal of the immensely popular broadcaster who didn't hesitate to speak his mind, after 25 years…

Best Bites: Simply Nature Cocoa-Dusted Thinly Dipped Chocolate Coated Almonds

So the name is a mouthful, and not in a good way. But the almonds themselves — yes, cocoa-dusted, thinly dipped and chocolate coated — are quite delicious. The best part is the chocolate, giving flavor to the heartiness of the almond. The second best? The “thinly” part is perfect,…

Editorial: 'Fair Tax' won't pass, but even the debate is an ominous omen about McCarthy

There is a 0% chance that a proposal to eliminate the federal income tax and replace it with a massive national sales tax will even get out of the Republican-controlled House, let alone become law. But the fact that such a bluntly soak-the-poor idea is even getting an airing under…

Editorial: Lying liars and their constitutional right to keep on lying

Long before his own #MeToo demise as a U.S. senator, satirst Al Franken wrote a shocking investigative exposé of politicians and pundits who — prepare yourself — don’t always tell the truth. The subtly titled book, “Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them,” caused upheaval in Washington and led…

Editorial: Missouri's abortion ban reads like a sermon. That's a constitutional problem
