June 7

Orchids to

Ukraine, who has shown Russia what happens when you poke a hornet’s nest.

eliminating SpaceX and all of Musk’s companies contracts with the government, saving billions and having enough money for Medicare and Medicaid.

the judge who issued a restraining order against the Labor Department’s intention of shutting down the Jobs Corps.

all those urging their congressmen to impeach Trump.

Onions to

shutting down Job Corps, just another example of the Trump administration being cruel and not interested in the common person.

the president who will surely blame his predecessor for the financial mess he’s actually creating.

the unpresidential display of bickering and sniping between the head of this nation and his closest ally who are tearing this nation apart.

legislative immunity whereby a member of the state legislature cannot be arrested for driving under the influence while the legislature is in session.

the budget cut approved by the Indiana General Assembly that resulted in Ivy Tech laying off more than 200 people.

the preposterous plan for a tremendously expensive, ridiculous military parade, while at the same time cutting benefits to veterans.

thinking that state legislators should move to do something about the township government system when most of them are already not serving us well.

failed media types and politicians who have nothing to offer the country except doom, gloom and bitterness.

the small white car driving recklessly Wednesday at U.S. 31 and 25th Street.

the one who lied to us for two years and now wants us to buy their book full of lies.

police who refuse to control speeders and sign-runners.

the national leader for pardoning wealthy Ross Ulbricht, sentenced to two life terms with no parole for creating and operating an internet source for fentanyl, creating a clear and proven danger to American lives.

Happy Anniversary to

Suzie Newland on No. 50, from Steve.
