Onions to
the driver of the black Blazer who must think that so long as they signal lane changes, speeding and passing cars down Central, Haw Creek and Third on the way out of town meets the “Treating People With Kindness” sticker on the rear window.
the local 27-hole public golf course for closing its course between Dec. 24th and Jan. 31st even though we are having great weather.
the 20-year cycle in US history when a leader takes his followers to their deaths but this time also taking along innocent non-followers.
those failing to mention if people have found a way to survive without employment that will make the unemployment numbers falsely low.
those that don’t understand the true percentage of people who don’t have jobs or aren’t making enough money is often worse than the official unemployment rate suggests.
another 23K going into the money pit.
those who only look backward, when what is in front of us Americans, with this president, is to be feared.
the current administration for allowing more Americans to die of COVID than did under the former administration.
those who claim a mandatory voter ID requirement, ergo fair and honest elections, is voter suppression.
North Korea, which has imposed a ban on laughter, leisure activities and alcohol for 11 days in honor of former leader. America open yours eyes! First comes socialism then communism.
the exponential overuse of the word exponentially.
politicians who support fellow politicians at all costs and pretend they have done nothing wrong.
the former dynamic duo who will go down in history as having been responsible for more American deaths than any foreign enemy has ever caused.
the former leader whose lies and failure to quickly act against the virus resulted in thousands of unnecessary deaths.
the company that takes money from the working poor and gets credit for helping Bartholomew County School District.
the ball hog and the coach who supports her.
