Orchids to
all the generous supporters who helped me raise more than $4,000 for Bowl For Kids Sake, from Bob Langdon.
all who understand the facts about the $6.8 billion in education funding that Congress approved and was signed by Trump in March.
Onions to
CRH for eliminating many worthwhile and needed services.
letting hate overwhelm common sense and what’s best for our country.
the administration doing little else but disgracefully watching Ukraine slowly slip into the hands of Russia, who is now using banned chemical weapons.
the KOTUS and his “party of yes men” who have to “sell” the Big Beautiful Bill to their constituents by lying about how good it is, and forcing it down our throats.
the leader for increasing state security by 10 while withholding more than $6 billion in federal grants for after-school and summer programs, English language instruction, adult literacy and more.
the KOTUS and his administration for redefining the saying to read “give him an inch and they will take more, much, much, more.”
the daily killing of starving Palestinians while they are trying to get to a relief center.
the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation which is nothing but a travesty designed to put a cover on an ongoing genocide.
abandoning Ukraine after having made a deal to get their rare earth/mineral resources.
the faith leaders who staged a protest against the federal tax and spending cut bill outside the Indiana senator’s office in Indianapolis, yet their church doesn’t pay taxes.
the big ugly bill that cut funds to the National Weather Service’s ability to provide accurate and timely forecasts, especially for severe weather events; expect more tragedies like the one in Texas.
politicians whose latest antics are about as effective as shooting BBs at battleships.
the leaders on the left that talk a lot, say nothing and only intend to interfere.
those who appose God.
Happy Anniversary to
Albert Parrigin on No. 65, from your wife Dottie.
