Rep. Jason Smith, Powerbroker

My congressman, Jason Smith, a Republican, has finally taken a break from his relentless quest to raise campaign cash and pose for pictures with every tractor and cow in southeast Missouri - and he has had a meeting with someone of consequence in Washington, DC.   In a recent email newsletter Congressman Smith revealed that Ivanka Trump had dropped by his office for a visit.  The  First Daughter, when not focused on selling Chinese rags or trying to manage her emotionally unstable father, busies herself by promoting women's issues in the most notoriously anti-woman administration in recent history.

Smith is a member of the House Appropriations Committee, a group that could conceivably be instrumental in writing the promised tax "reform" - if Paul and Mitch and Donald actually let the committee have any say in the matter.  Ivanka wanted to make sure that Congressman Smith knew of her interest in providing tax breaks to moms who have to put their children in childcare so that they can go to work.  Socialist schemes like that will not  be an easy sell with the current Congress.

Surprisingly, Jason Smith, the consummate name-dropper, did not include a photo of him with Ivanka in the newsletter.  Perhaps he is saving that image to grace his government-funded Christmas cards

Congratulations, Congressman Jason Smith - you are developing into a real powerbroker.   Your constituents here in Missouri's 8th are very proud of you - especially the cows!
