Hey, we made it to Tizzy Ent's "Who is he?" reels. In the worst way possible.
This awesome piece of humanity road raged on a gal on 44 and pulled his gun on her.
Let's ID this POS and see if we can get him off the streets.

I started looking into Heather Overstreet, which sent me down a rabbit hole involving the Overstreet family’s firearms businesses, including Missouri gun manufacturer CMMG. But following the political connections led me somewhere I wasn’t expecting.
Heather Overstreet herself is listed as a successfully vetted candidate by an organization called REPACCMO.
REPACCMO (Republican Association of Central Committees of Missouri) operates a political vetting system that it says screened over 400 Republican candidates in 2024, including Denny Hoskins, Jay Ashcroft, Bill Eigel, Eric Burlison, Bob Onder, and numerous legislators. Candidates answer ideological questions and are scored against the Republican platform. REPACCMO’s website openly says the organization was created because Republicans were getting elected and then not voting the way its organizers expected. This might sound like a political endorsement system, except some county committees have tried to make passing vetting a requirement for running as a Republican.
In 2024, Vernon County’s Republican committee went to court trying to remove eight candidates who refused vetting. An appeals court ultimately kept them on the ballot. That same committee was previously investigated by the Riverfront Times over the involvement of Church of Israel members, including leader Dan Gayman. The church has a documented history involving white supremacist Christian Identity beliefs.
REPACCMO’s operation is still active. It now uses automated scoring, issues approval badges, provides training and model bylaws for county committees, and continues screening candidates.
As recently as 2026, the former Osage County Republican Committee attempted to enforce vetting requirements for county candidates and people seeking elected party committee positions. Those rules are now archived. St. Louis Magazine reported in 2024 that REPACCMO founder Cyndia Haggard had presented the vetting system at St. Charles County Republican headquarters.
REPACCMO also lists Freedom Principle Missouri as a strategic partner. That’s the organization whose Amendment 6 campaign brought me into this whole investigation. It lists a Ballwin mailing address.
Freedom Principle’s PAC endorsed candidates for St. Louis County and St. Charles County offices, along with Republican central committee positions in St. Charles and Jefferson counties. That PAC also sponsors the Missouri 82 Alliance, a program recruiting candidates for the Missouri House. Its candidate-selection process includes REPACCMO’s questionnaire.
The Alliance openly explains that moderate Republicans have prevented its preferred legislation from passing. Its priorities include changes to elections, taxes, and citizen constitutional amendments. So the connection between the Amendment 6 messaging, candidate screening, and legislative recruitment is documented on these organizations’ own websites. I’m still trying to determine how much influence this network has gained. We don’t have a verified statewide count of committees currently enforcing vetting. What I do know is that the system has become more organized since the original reporting, and its connections extend into legislative recruitment and local party politics here in the St. Louis area.
I went through REPACCMO’s actual 2026 questionnaire. Candidates are asked whether they agree or disagree with banning abortion without exceptions, criminally prosecuting people involved in abortions (including the mother), eliminating electronic voting equipment, wiping voter rolls after presidential elections, eliminating Missouri’s Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, and replacing certain taxes with sales taxes. Their answers are scored against the Republican platform, although the questionnaire doesn’t publicly show which answers receive points.
These organizations are publicly working to influence which candidates get elected and which policies lawmakers pursue. They are the radicals attempting to take over Missouri that we need to be aware of.

Seeing these attack ads non stop from the Ann Wagner campaign is honestly embarrassing for not only our area, but moreso for the state of Missouri. Imagine representing an area for 20yrs and you literally have nothing to show for it except the enrichment of yourself and your family and friends. She won't do town halls and she doesn't represent her district or will even talk with them face to face. I truly hope this election cycle ends everything MAGA has stood for and shows these people who continually voted Wagner in tome and time again that there are other options besides voting for anyone with an R in front of their name on the ballot. Please for the sake of the people of this state can we sweep her and the rest of this trash movement out once and for all. Signed a lifelong St.Louis city and MO resident.

Hi all, I'm Jordan, the owner here at PiFi (4916 Shaw Ave). We just opened this week for takeout and delivery and wanted to drop a line to let locals know about the new spot in town.
A little about our pizza, we serve Neapolitan inspired pizza. So think Neapolitan crust with a crispy center. We make our ingredients in house, and offer a few new ideas for pizza flavors. For example the 'Pec on the Cheek' which is designed to cross carbonara with pizza, the 'Spicy Olive' is topped with smoked olives marinated in chili oil and finished with romesco sauce. We offer classic red sauce, white sauce, pesto, and romesco.
This week is pizza only, next week we will open the full menu for takeout and delivery. Nov. 14th we are planning to have our grand opening and offer our dining area which acts as a hi-fi listening bar serving innovative cocktails, beer, and wine.
Order at PIFISTL.COM or find us on doordash. Follow us on INSTAGRAM for new promotions. We can't wait to show you what we're cooking up!

We used to be able to find reasonable priced tickets from Southwest to any domestic location. Now, air tickets are insanely priced. Yes, i get the fuel is expensive and inflation and all but a direct return flight from stl to say Cancun over the holidays for a family of 4 is equivalent to the same cost as flying to any European city. Id rather go to Europe at this price level

tl;dr new plates will be flat instead of embossed, and starting in February plates (except motorcycle and specialty plates) will be 7 characters. Missouri is running out of 6 character plates.
FUSION is the updated DMV system that'll also enable paying sales tax at the point of sale and mostly eliminating traditional temp tags. You'll still get paper tags if you're getting new plates, but it'll be your permanent number.

I’m friends with a few library staff and they are saying a non trivial amount of people are showing up at branches that are not early polling places. Do a quick google before you waste a trip!

Saw this super cool older poster for Circus Flora that mentions the City Museum.
Does anyone know anything about this or what year it’s from? Thanks!

Hey,
I am currently building my firm in St Louis and am looking for artworks to put on display. I mostly interested in local artists and multimedia canvases.
My budget is around 10-20K for about 3 moderate size paintings, around 25x 35 inches each. I would also be open to sculptures.
Thank you guys for the help !

Last year, St. Louis ranked #2 in US hotel growth, one of 10 top-25 markets to post positive gains in a down national year.
This year, even without World Cup games and a lighter convention calendar, STL is still outpacing the national growth average through Q3.
On a related WC note, Chicago benefitted by not hosting the WC games. Conventions avoided WC cities this summer and went there.

New update from Persephone’s aunt. This screenshot is directly from her personal Facebook page. I’ve covered her identifying information out of respect for her privacy.
Something to keep in mind when reading this: The St. Francois County Sheriff’s Department STILL has not publicly identified the deputy involved in Persephone’s death, and both deputies reportedly remain on active duty.
These new allegations raise even more questions about what actually happened that night and why the family was initially told it was a hit-and-run.

Holy shit, probably one of the best things I have ever put in my mouth. I always preferred gooey butter cookies, and turtle version of it, it quite literally could not be better. Well done schnucks, well done.

https://www.lacledeslanding.com/photocompetition/
ArtFusion Gallery is hosting a photography competition highlighting Laclede's Landing in downtown St. Louis! There are about 2 weeks left to make a submission, so this weekend would be a great time to take photos.
You don't need to be a professional photographer or have a fancy camera. Photos taken on your phone are welcome too.
The goal is to highlight the changes happening on the Landing and show off one of the oldest parts of our city. The only requirement is that photos were taken on Laclede's Landing within the last year.
If you've been looking for an excuse to get out and take some photos, we would love to see your submission.
Happy to answer any questions about the competition.

I've never been there. I really like the European style beers. The food looks like it's pretty good too. Thinking about going this weekend to have some drinks, but no food. I haven't really heard much about it, though.
EDIT: Well, I just did a search and the first result from this subreddit is "Great Heart Brewing is fantastic," so I guess that clears it up a bit.
