COMMITMENTS AND SECOND AMENDMENT TO

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

THIS INCREASE AGREEMENT REGARDING INCREMENTAL REVOLVER COMMITMENTS AND SECOND AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this "Amendment") is entered into as of September 28, 2021, by and among WELLS FARGO CAPITAL FINANCE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the arranger and administrative agent (the "Agent") for the Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below), the Lenders party hereto, WABASH NATIONAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Wabash"), certain Subsidiaries of Wabash designated on the signature pages hereto as borrowers (together with Wabash, such Subsidiaries are collectively referred as the "Borrowers") and certain Subsidiaries of Wabash designated on the signature pages hereto as guarantors. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the definitions provided therefor in the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

WHEREAS, Borrowers, Agent, and Lenders are parties to that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 21, 2018 (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Credit Agreement");

WHEREAS, Borrowers have requested, pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Credit Agreement, that certain Lenders party hereto (each an "Increasing Lender" and collectively, the "Increasing Lenders") increase their Revolver Commitments under Section 2.2 of the Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount equal to $50,000,000 (the "Incremental Revolver Commitments");

WHEREAS, the Increasing Lenders have agreed to make the Incremental Revolver Commitments on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, Borrowers have also requested that Agent and Lenders make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement, and Agent and Lenders have agreed to the foregoing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Increase. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness set forth in Section 3 below, each Increasing Lender party hereto hereby agrees to increase its Revolver Commitment by the amount set forth beside such Lender's name under the heading "Incremental Revolver Commitment" on Schedule C-1 hereto, such that after giving effect to such Incremental Revolver Commitments (the aggregate amount of which equals $50,000,000), the Revolver Commitment of each Lender shall be as set forth beside such Lender's name under the heading "Total Commitment" on Schedule C-1 hereto. The Incremental Revolver Commitments and any amounts borrowed in respect of the Incremental Revolver Commitments ("Incremental Advances") shall constitute Revolver Commitments and Advances under the Credit Agreement, respectively, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from any

guarantees and the security interests created by the Loan Documents. Borrowers shall take any actions reasonably required by Agent to ensure and demonstrate that the Liens granted by the Loan Documents continue to be perfected under the Code or otherwise upon giving effect to the Incremental Revolver Commitments, the Incremental Advances and the Maximum Revolver Amount set forth herein. The interest margins for the Incremental Advances shall be the same as the interest margins for the Advances under the Credit Agreement. The outstanding unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Incremental Advances shall be due and payable on the earlier of (a) the Maturity Date (subject to extension in accordance with Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement), and (b) the date of the acceleration of the Advances in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the increase to the Revolver Commitments contemplated by this Section 1 shall constitute a Revolver Increase under Section 2.2 of the Credit Agreement.

2. Amendments. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness set forth in Section 3 below, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(a) A new Section 1.8 is hereby added to the Credit Agreement in appropriate numerical order as follows:

1.8. Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction's laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Stock at such time.

(b) The second sentence of Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety.

(c) Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following new sentence immediately before the last sentence thereof:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including Section 5.11 hereof and this Section 5.12) or in any other Loan Document, Agent shall not accept delivery of any joinder to any Loan Document with respect to any Subsidiary of any Loan Party that is not a Loan Party, if such Subsidiary that qualifies as a "legal entity customer" under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation unless such Subsidiary has delivered a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Subsidiary and Agent has completed its Patriot Act searches, OFAC/PEP searches and customary individual background checks for such Subsidiary, the results of which shall be satisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion.

(d) New Sections 17.17 and 17.18 are hereby added to the Credit Agreement in appropriate numerical order as follows:

17.17. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, "QFC Credit Support" and each such QFC a "Supported QFC"), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the "U.S. Special Resolution Regimes") in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States). In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a "Covered Party") becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

17.18. Erroneous Payments.

(a) Each Lender, each Issuing Lender, each Bank Product Provider and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error) such Lender or Issuing Lender or Bank Product Provider (or the Lender which is an Affiliate of a Lender, Issuing Lender or Bank Product Provider) or other Person that has received funds from Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Lender or Bank Product Provider (each such recipient, a "Payment Recipient"), that Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously

-3-

transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 17.18(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an "Erroneous Payment"), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section shall require Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine.

(b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly notify Agent in writing of such occurrence.

(c) In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of Agent, and upon demand from Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to) promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by Agent in accordance with the immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an "Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency"), then at the sole discretion of Agent and upon Agent's written notice to such Lender, such Lender

-4-

shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Advances (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the "Erroneous Payment Impacted Loans") to Agent or, at the option of Agent, Agent's applicable lending affiliate (such assignee, the "Agent Assignee") in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Loans, the "Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment") plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by Agent Assignee as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. Without limitation of its rights hereunder, following the effectiveness of the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, Agent may make a cashless reassignment to the applicable assigning Lender of any Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment at any time by written notice to the applicable assigning Lender and upon such reassignment all of the Advances assigned pursuant to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment shall be reassigned to such Lender without any requirement for payment or other consideration. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 13 and (3) Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.

(e) Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to Agent under this Section 17.18 or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by Agent from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never occurred.

-5-

(f) Each party's obligations under this Section 17.18 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(g) The provisions of this Section 17.18 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) nothing in this Section 17.18 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient's receipt of an Erroneous Payment, (ii) there will only be deemed to be a recovery of the Erroneous Payment to the extent that Agent has received payment thereof from the Payment Recipient in immediately available funds,whether directly from the Payment Recipient, as a result of the exercise by Agent of its rights of subrogation or setoff as set forth above in clause (e) or as a result of the receipt by Agent Assignee of a payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Advances assigned to Agent Assignee pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, but excluding any other amounts in respect thereof (it being agreed that any payments of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts (other than principal) received by Agent Assignee in respect of the Advances assigned to Agent Assignee pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment shall be the sole property of Agent Assignee and shall not constitute a recovery of the Erroneous Payment), and (iii) no Borrower shall be deemed to be a Payment Recipient under this Section 17.18 in respect of the proceeds of any Advance funded in accordance with Section 2.3 of this Agreement.

(e) The definition of Maximum Revolver Amount set forth on Schedule 1.1 to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Do you think counties need to establish themselves as a Dedicated Second Amendment County? - Wahpeton Daily News

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) A state House committee has approved a constitutional amendment that would change Pennsylvanias election process in several ways.

Some Republicans see this as the best way to get the changes they desire. For years, Republicans have pushed the idea that every voter shows an ID card when voting.

In this state, thats only required the first time you vote in a new precinct. When a bill to expand that to all elections was vetoed by Governor Tom Wolf, Republicans decided to put the question on the ballot as an amendment to the State Constitution. Its one way to bypass the governor.

Its a way to overcome his unwillingness to come to the table on these issues and ignore the will of the people, said Bill Bretz, the chair of the Westmoreland County Republican Party.

Bretz likes the proposed amendment approved Monday by the State Government Committee.

It states: A qualified elector shall present a valid government-issued identification prior to voting.

ID would be required whether you vote in person or by mail and voting by mail would also require the electors signature on the envelope, which would have to match a signature of record.

I think thats an easy thing to implement. I dont think thats disenfranchising because everyone has an ID, and I think that would restore a lot of confidence in the electoral process, Bretz told KDKA political editor Jon Delano on Tuesday.

If you want a photo ID in rural Pennsylvania, there are no photo centers in some of the counties. There are no buses and no transportation, so the poor and the elderly will be the ones left behind, said State Rep. Scott Conklin, a State College Democrat who leads the Democrats on the committee who voted no to this amendment.

Conklin said most forms of voter ID discriminate against certain voters, and he said Republicans are trying to solve an election problem that doesnt exist.

Not one county commissioner has come to me, who run the elections, and said, Weve got to overhaul the system. The County Commissioners Association who oversees the elections has not come to us. This is strictly a fraud thats run to try to fool people, Conklin said.

In 2012, the Commonwealth Court struck down a photo ID requirement, saying it disenfranchised voters, but this amendment makes no mention of a photo, calling instead for a government-issued ID, leaving the Legislature free to dictate the type of ID necessary to vote.

Theres also a strong push for voter ID, and I do think thats something that most Pennsylvanians and most Americans would like to see implemented, Bretz said.

A second amendment would require elections to be audited by the auditor general prior to being certified. Democrats said this is already done by the Secretary of the Commonwealth, who oversees elections.

Before those ballots are certified, the election is certified, there is an audit to check a certain percentage of all the ballots randomly to make sure theyre true. Its worked very well. Theres not been widespread fraud, Conklin said.

But Republicans unhappy with the performance of former Secretary Kathy Boockvar want to make her office a statewide election like the attorney general, auditor general and state treasurer.

We should approach the idea of electing election officials with a great deal of skepticism, said David Thornburgh, who heads a good government think tank and is the son of the late Republican Gov. Dick Thornburgh.

Thornburgh warns against this amendment.

It politicizes it. All of a sudden, theyre out raising money. Theyre asked to take positions on issues before theyre in office, Thornburgh said.

And who can forget how former President Donald Trump called Georgias secretary of state, asking him to find 11,000 votes.

There are lots of reasons why we should protect that office from partisan interference, Thornburgh said.

Before these proposed amendments can get on the ballot for voter approval, they must pass both houses of the Legislative twice in separate sessions. That means nothing will be on the ballot until 2023. This process is just beginning.

Where Humor Stops

The musket and cannon debate is admittedly prone to silliness but opinions such as Bidens suggest a horribly shallow knowledge of history and no willingness to learn the facts, either among the public or the establishment media. They allow gun prohibitionists, including the president, to get away with such nonsense without challenge.

This is where grassroots Second Amendment activists step in. This column has encouraged readers to write letters to the editor, or be so bold as to write an Op-Ed for the local newspaper. Were heading into late autumn and soon it will be winter. Of course hunting seasons are under way, but set aside a little time for gun rights research and get busy writing.

There is ample material from which to draw for such a project. The National Rifle Association and Second Amendment Foundation are excellent sources, and one can go on a search engine and simply look for information about Gun Control or Gun Rights and start studying.

This is not for laughs. Youre trying to educate people who havent made up their minds and the most important thing is to explain how Rights are different from Privileges. When Joe Biden, or some other anti-gunner declares, Nobody needs 100 rounds for deer hunting, remind them the Second Amendment is not about hunting, its about prohibiting the government from stepping on your rights.

Keep your writing terse and on topic; short sentences, proper spelling and punctuation. Put your name, address and telephone number on it. Do not plagiarize someone elses work. If you quote someone else, put it in quotation marks and provide attribution.

Offer yourself as a source to local reporters. Be someone they will want to contact for the other side of any story on guns. Build your credibility by telling the truth, providing honest assessments of situations, understanding firearms and being able to explain the differences between military arms and modern sporting rifles.

One year from this month, America will hold its mid-term elections. If you want things to change, youre going to have to vote and get everyone you know to vote. In 1994, frustrated citizens changed the face of Congress by throwing out more than 50 anti-gun politicians who voted for the Brady Law in 1993 and the Clinton Crime Bill with its 10-year ban on so-called assault weapons and original capacity magazines. Bill Clinton was effectively neutered for the rest of his time in office.

The time has come to do it again. If you entertain, even for a heartbeat, any notion the party now in power doesnt want to turn your Second Amendment right into a heavily regulated privilege, you are woefully nave.

The nomination of David Chipman earlier this year to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives wasnt a signal; it was an open declaration of war on Americas gun owners. Here we are five months later. Any questions?

Excerpt from:
Undoing the Musket Argument - GUNS Magazine - Guns Magazine

At least 20 mayors of American cities apparently understand that the world can be a dangerous enough place to require armed securityfor them. Yet, these same mayors have worked to defund the police in their own cities.

Armed security for me, but not for thee?

Thats the inevitable conclusion one has to draw from an article published in the Daily Mail, which noted that, At least 20 mayors from cities that have called to defund the police enjoy the perks of private security at a cost to taxpayers of millions of dollars a year.

One example is San Francisco Mayor LondonBreed, who took $120 million in funding from her citys police department and redirected it to new and existing programs.

San Francisco spent $12.4 million to protect Breed between 2015 and 2020, with the bill rising from $1.7 million in 2015 to $2.6 million last year, reported the Daily Mail.

In another example, in 2020 the Baltimore City Council voted to eliminate $22 million from the police budget, supported by then-City Council President Brandon Scott, who is now the mayor of Baltimore.

This is just the beginning, and I intend to continue leading this process to redirect our public dollars and reimagine public safety in Baltimore, said Scott at the time.

Other examples where taxpayers fund police details or private security for officials in cities where law-enforcement budgets are being reduced or are under attack include:

Many of these same mayors are members of the Bloomberg-funded Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG).

As the NRA-ILA noted, MAIG was created in 2006 to lobby for gun control, including increased restrictions and bans on completely legal firearms.

NRA-ILA also reported that political elites receiving taxpayer-funded security, while police forces are being reduced, was not limited to mayors.

On June 26, [2021] the Minneapolis City Councilvoted unanimously to advance a measure to disband the Minneapolis Police Department. The move to defund the police received significant criticism from leaders of the communities that most rely on the police department.Being charitable, the left-leaning Minneapolis Star Tribune described the city councils proposal as not well thought out.

But Minneapolis taxpayers spent $63,000 on private security for three council members who voted for the defunding law enforcement!

Still, when it comes to pure hypocrisy, big-city mayors have few peers on this issue. Consider Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot. Though she eliminated 600 jobs from Chicagos police departmentand the Chicago judicial system is notorious for going very soft on criminalsLightfoot regularly blames the Second Amendment for the citys out-of-control crime and drug gang related shootings in her city.

At the same time, according to NRA-ILA, Lightfoot has gone to great lengths to ensure her personal safety. The city has constructed what some locals are referring to Fort Lori around the mayors entire neighborhood, with the Chicago Police Department effectively banning protesters from demonstrating on Mayor Lori Lightfoots block. The police have orders to arrest anyone refusing to leave.

NRA-ILA said it best: Through their actions, these politicians have made clear that they are willing to sacrifice the safety of their constituents, but are unwilling to compromise their personal safety in the process. Such a flagrant breach of the social contract forfeits whatever perceived moral authority they may have claimed in order to control how their constituents provide for their own defense.

Kids These Days: Not a day goes by that we dont ask ourselves what in the heck is wrong with people. This week, our ire is pointed at the idiots that sprayed graffiti on a limestone bluff at Hickory Canyons Conservation Area in Ste. Genevieve County, forcing Missouri Department of Conservation staffers to grind down the limestone to remove it and try to restore the natural beauty of the place. To the people with the spray paint: What the heck is wrong with you? Since you just sprayed your names and dumb smiley faces, were assuming that youre stupid kids and not professional artists. And as stupid kids, you should know that its much cooler to spray paint goverment buildings. Were not saying dont tag anything anywhere, were saying that you should be more strategic with your vandalism! You go out into nature to get high, not to tag shit! Keep the tagging in the city, keep the weed in the woods. Didnt your parents teach you anything?

Hearts of Stone: Really, would it have been so fucking hard to wear your mask at the Rolling Stones concert at the Dome at Americas Center? Were almost two years into this thing and youre still being pissy little babies about masks? Every photo from the event showed a sea of maskless people with just a few non-idiots sprinkled in with their faces covered. The hospitals are full, the nurses are at the end of their ropes, the vaccine isnt infallible, yet still, you wont make even basic moves to protect yourselves or those around you. Some 688,000 people have died from COVID in this country, and at the rate were going well see hundreds of thousands more slowly suffocate to death because nobody is willing to face reality. To quote the Stones: Ain't nobody slowing down, no way / Everybody's stepping on their accelerator / Don't matter where you are / Everybody's gonna need a ventilator.

Jimmy Kimmel Defense Squad: Jimmy Kimmel caused quite the stir in St. Louis this week when he went up against Imos Pizzas No. 1 fan, Simone Biles, over the infamous za. On his show, he told Biles the pizza was very, very bad, leading the gymnast to challenge him to combat over his opinion. But in defense of Kimmel, wed like to emphasize the very fact that St. Louis itself is split over our pizza. Depending on who you ask, you either get the cracker with cheese mentality or immediately pointed to a shrine dedicated to the Provel gods. With a wife from St. Louis who loves the pizza while the Brooklyn native says it tastes like melted plastic, he represents a very real split. St. Louis was quick to throw Kimmel under the bus for his thoughts on our culinary proclivities, but we all should be praising him for his bold stance. Standing up to Biles is no feat. Shes proven herself time and time again as a strong woman, going up against predators like Larry Nassar, and as an undefeatable gymnast who knows when to take a break. And while Kimmel will never be widely beloved by St. Louisans in the way Biles is, maybe we all should take a second to recognize the tenacity of Kimmel to go against a city as passionate as St. Louis. That takes some serious balls. We respect it.

Quick on the Flaw: Governor Mike Parson is apparently having second thoughts about Missouris publicity stunt gun rights law now that the cluster it has caused is too obvious to ignore. In June, Parson signed the Second Amendment Preservation Act at a gun shop called Frontier Justice, grinning like hed just won a lifetime supply of Werthers Original candies. This legislation today draws a line in the sand and demonstrates our commitment to reject any attempt by the federal government to circumvent the fundamental right Missourians have to keep and bear arms to protect themselves and their property, he said at the time. But guess what? Cops hate it. Parson was so eager to own the libs that he and Republican legislators ignored police chiefs across the state who warned the $50,000 penalty for anyone caught helping enforce federal gun laws would make all those federal task forces they count on unworkable. KMOV was the latest to point this out, and Parson admitted to them the law needed to be revisited so they could move forward on this, without causing problems for local law enforcement or the federal agency. Parson meant the law to be a message to President Joe Biden, KMOV reports, which tracks with the governors line in the sand machismo. But the weird thing about treating laws like press releases is that laws stay laws, with actual consequences that outlast the headlines.
