Wondering if my experience is unique with my @Ember_Tech cup. Will only keep coffe warm for an hour and requires 4 hours to charge. My @thecreatedco cup keeps coffee warm for an hour without technology and at a fraction of the price.

According to @mobankers 90% of Missourians will lose access to their credit cards should @HawleyMO credit card interest rate cap bill pass. Access to this type of credit is critical to working class families in Missouri so please drop this bill Senator Hawley.

@catdailmusic @BradHensonPro Agreed hard for me to cheer for someone who quit on his teammates. He is an exceptional athlete for sure.

With tax-exempt credit unions accounting for roughly a quarter of this year’s bank acquisitions — each of which expands the federal tax exemption for more than $2 trillion in credit union assets and displaces a trusted provider of credit in local communities — Congress must act on this dangerous trend. https://t.co/PQYuMEokkU

Say goodbye to your credit card rewards & hello to the higher costs of groceries and gas without those cashback discounts, courtesy of @SenatorDurbin and @RogerMarshallMD. New commercial on the impact of their proposed mandates 🡆 https://t.co/bA07lUONQI

It is important to share how all legislation impacts you and your business with our representatives. Our ability to do this is one of the many things that makes our country still the best in the world. Thanks to the @ABABankers for creating space for us to do this!

[J.R. Buckner II @JRBuckner2]

Wow! If you haven’t seen the Grand Canyon or hiked it rim to rim in a day, put it in your list. It’s a great place to meet God!

[J.R. Buckner II @JRBuckner2]

It’s always refreshing to get to visit with Federal Reserve Governor Bowman. I am grateful she takes the time to learn how policy and regulation impacts community banks and be our voice.

[J.R. Buckner II @JRBuckner2]

No good deed goes unpunished! There was a time as bankers we encouraged people to pay back their debts. This new FHFA mortgage pricing model actually penalizes you for doing that.  If you are getting ready to buy a home your payment could be $100 higher a month as a reward!

[J.R. Buckner II @JRBuckner2]

Humbled and thankful to be recognized by Mayor Tyrone for the impact our team is having on helping the Mexican American community realize the dream of home ownership!

[J.R. Buckner II @JRBuckner2]

Home ownership is a key to financial wellbeing, building generational wealth, and having a thriving community. Penalizing those with good credit is not the way to get there. https://t.co/KwYoneWgTY

When you bank with @firstfederal_kc your deposits support our local economy. You can support Wall Street or Main St, it’s your choice. We are from KC and for KC!

[J.R. Buckner II @JRBuckner2]

Many thanks to the entire team at ⁦@ABABankers⁩ for a great Community Bankers Conference and for hosting an awesome Chiefs tailgate party for the big game! My condolences to the Pennsylvania bankers that were with us that evening.

[Mr. T @MrT]

Thank GOD and Merry Christmas! I just can't Thank GOD Enough, because He Gave The Greatest Gift of ALL! Now, that Act alone should Make You Merry on Christmas Day! #MerryChristmas #JesusIsLord

[J.R. Buckner II @JRBuckner2]

@LawrenceKS_PD Prayers for the officer and his family. I’m grateful for those that serve and protect us.

[J.R. Buckner II @JRBuckner2]

Director Chopra does not understand the economics of banking nor the value of the products and services we provide to our customers. https://t.co/R713B2WC9S

[J.R. Buckner II @JRBuckner2]

I was on a panel speaking to a number of young banking leaders and asked what books or podcasts I’d recommend. ⁦@craiggroeschel⁩ is one I don’t miss and this two part series is especially impactful. https://t.co/ZzF75Hx914

[Bob Goff @bobgoff]

It will be our love, not our opinions which will be our greatest contribution to the world.

[J.R. Buckner II @JRBuckner2]

Had a great few days in Washington DC with ⁦@jburgmoney⁩ and other bankers from Missouri sharing our thoughts on pending and proposed legislation that could impact our ability to serve our communities.

[J.R. Buckner II @JRBuckner2]

These men and women are working to protect the most vulnerable in our community. I’m excited to recognize their hard work this Sunday at @thekccurrent game!

[FirstFederalKC @firstfederal_kc]

Our hometown heroes this week are the Greater Kansas City Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force. This task force is made up of law enforcement from both Kansas and Missouri who are working hard to rescue victims.

Come celebrate this Sunday at @thekccurrent's match!
