the Russian foreign minister for showing happiness when he visited the prior federal executive in the White House.

the local condo community for putting down toxic fertilizer, not pet- or child-friendly, and for not letting residents know.

the so-called severe sanctions that are doing nothing to help the people of Ukraine, or Taiwan when that time comes.

the vehicles that passed my mommy as she was trying to wave you down for help after her car accident.

the foreign leader with no soul who is invading a free country.

the body shop promising my car to be done in three days, gave it back to me in eight, and it was dirty.

the driver who passed us in a place where there was a turn lane going in the other direction.

the train conductor who held the air horn down all the way through Taylorsville Sunday afternoon.

the “freedom fighters” and “patriots” who blindly side with a murderous dictator, incapable of discerning what liberty actually means.

the county elected officials who continually show up to meetings unprepared and have no idea what is on the agenda.

the county elected officials who can’t think for themselves, always having to see how others are voting before they do.

the county leader unwilling to get the county employees at least an average wage.
