Onions to
the “vengeance squad” appointees who will fill key positions with the sole purpose of doing the biddings of the once rejected, now reelected one.
the developer demolishing the historic house, creating a dust plume over the nearby funeral home during the visitation and funeral for a person who died from mesothelioma.
the winner who is now saying he probably won’t be able to lower prices, which may possibly rise because he’s giving even bigger tax cuts to billionaires then he did last time.
the people who think Biden has done nothing because of all he has done with health care, infrastructure and jobs.
the car running the red light at 25th Street and U.S. 31, causing the ambulance with lights and sirens to come to a complete stop to avoid a collision.
Happy Birthday to
Jack Kelley
