Onions to

letter writers who only give their side to a complex story.

those not realizing top priority for Congress when they return is to provide funding for government.

Indiana keeping the minimum wage at $7.25 an hour.

this administration for dissolving our southern border and giving the illegal immigrants everything while ignoring our veterans and homeless.
