@AGCHanaway My 75-year-old mother has received over 35 spam texts today trying to trick her into giving away her financial information.
She received one before 6am today. I’m texting you after midnight because she’s received one just now.
Help protect our seniors from scams.
Please @AGCHanaway — protect our parents and grandparents. Protect our seniors from endless scammer texts that harass them day and night.
This is my mom’s phone. Help her.
@AGCHanaway *PLEASE* do something about this. My mom gets junk texts from foreign scammers all day and night.
Protect our seniors, please! Our parents and grandparents need you.
@walterfootball I had hoped you would take responsibility for your comments rather than hide behind the notion it's a mere "joke." I would urge you to reconsider, delete this post, and issue a sincere apology.
I will discontinue visiting your site until that day arrives.
@walterfootball Should I interpret that as you declining to take the post down and apologizing for making those comments, sir?
Again, I appreciate your insight in football but I will not be able to indulge past this.
This morning I had the opportunity to speak to a class at @OTCedu about my role as a legislator and Missouri politics. A great group of students with thoughtful insights who aren’t afraid to ask tough questions and hold me accountable. Proud to have OTC in SGF! @AC_Rocker
“In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.
A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.
Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.
A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”
Values are transmitted from generation to generation.
What values are we teaching our children?
Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.”

Literally every academic I know is doing the same thing this week: going to the dentist / doctor/ hair salon / whatever appointment they’ve put off. As a group, we are very predictable.
Congratulations to OTC Provost Dr. Tracy McGrady for receiving @PHITHETAKAPPA's Distinguished College Administrator Award. The recognition was driven by students who know her personal commitment to every Eagle's success and opportunity. Story: https://t.co/391LKBI05F 🦅💙
