Dec. 3

Orchids to

the big box grocery store that waited until the turkey got cold before putting up the Christmas decorations.

the lawmakers who are still listening to their constituents and refusing unlawful redistricting.

the good Samaritan who pulled out our company vehicle during the snow Tuesday morning, from a grateful local business.

Onions to

the store manager who had the employee come to work after she fell and broke her nose.

the person who claims he’s “the affordability president” that really should visit a grocery store and then drop that adjective.

those who concocted the new redistricting map, nothing but dirty, gerrymandering politics.

the federal official’s golfing trips, which have so far cost the U.S. taxpayer about $71 million, is that his definition of affordability?

volunteering while getting paid at your regular job, which doesn’t sounds much like really volunteering.

our leader who bombs alleged—but not proven—minor-league drug runners while granting pardons to convicted major-league drug lords, all the while claiming he’s fighting a war on drugs.

politicians who appose medical unaffordability, but allow billions of dollars worth of fraud and corruption.
