Quick work

Amazing. Joe Biden was able to rid the world of terrorism in only three months.

What gives?

I bet the Gulfport mayor doesn’t have to look at a pile of sticks or a toilet in front of his house for a month before it is hauled away.

So you know

A gaiter is good for robbing a stagecoach, but, has proven nearly worthless for protecting people from spreading and contracting viruses.

Great memory

Lori Borgman’s Friday story about her granddaughter and the map is so precious. It’s a priceless memory.

Making a choice

Sorry, but people simply cannot be made to put their lives on hold forever, or run around in stupid masks to the end of time because some people refuse a vaccination.They made their decision, the rest of us shouldn’t have to pay for it. Just that simple.

I can explain the increase in fuel cost with just two words. “President Biden.

Feeling silenced

If you dare speak out against the regime in Washington, D.C., on social media, local or national networks or newspapers, you will be canceled and silenced. Dictatorship is real in America.
