July 4

Orchids to

Independence Day!

Shane Medaris, Robbie and their crew for all the honest, hard work, going the extra mile to make clients happy and just overall being good people, from the Halls.

Commissioner Tony London for helping a senior citizen in her time of need.

Onions to

the city council member who strives to always micromanage projects and developers, and has deaf ears for arguments of reason.

the local hospital for cutting jobs because a magic eight ball said yes, instead of waiting to see what actually happens.

politicians for taking the phrase “representing my constituents” and turning it into a misnomer, because they certainly are not representing anyone, but taking a knee to the KOTUS.

to all the Congress men and women who voted to please the king instead of doing what’s best for their constituents.

gutless politicians who abandoned their constituents and once again took a knee to their king and gave him what he wanted at a price we will all come to regret. 

the lie that “trickle down” economic tax breaks for the rich actually pay for themselves when they actually never have.

Happy Anniversary to

Vallie Colleen and Doyle Rich on No. 72, from your family.
