Dec. 10

Orchids to

our state senator who is not intimidated and listened to his constituents with his vote.

all the patriotic Hoosiers who protested and wrote against the proposed gerrymandering.

the proposed bill requiring teaching cursive handwriting in public schools, which helps develop essential cognitive and fine motor skills.

our state elected officials for leveling the playing field against a party that created gerrymandering, ensuring that all of New England has zero Republican representation.

Petersville United Methodist Church for the staff treats, from Clifty Creek Elementary School.

our elected official who has saved the taxpayer hundreds of billions of dollars and who exposes the corruption of Washington on a daily basis.

Onions to

people that take paid smoke breaks that aren’t sanctioned by their employer.

the elected one who can’t help but to falsely claim he lowered gas prices when the truth is due to lower crude oil price, lower demand and the switch to winter blend fuel.

the federal elected official who says affordability is a Democratic “hoax,” but he really needs to go to a grocery store to verify that.

the unlawful, unneeded and expensive deployment of Indiana National Guard to Washington, D.C., there’s plenty of trash to pick around here and it’s a lot safer.

the proposed $12 billion farm aid package, surely a case of waste and maybe fraud that would have never happened if it weren’t for the TACO tariffs.

the residents that do not abide by the leash law.

people who show up at the parade right before it starts and rudely stand in front of people who are sitting there just so they can collect free candy.

redistricting and gerrymandering.

people whose comments are long on hyperbole and very short on facts.

Happy Birthday to

Gabriel Cooley on No. 12, from your family.
