First draft

The person who “quoted” Mark Twain about newspapers is incorrect. Those who studied Twain (aka Samuel Clemens) have not found a link to those words and Twain, although the he had much to say about newspapers. “...News is history in its first and best form, its vivid and fascinating form, and... history is the pale and tranquil reflection of it.”

Ethics?

What happened with the IG investigation into ethics violations of our very own U.S. Rep Palazzo?

Riddle me this

So the vaccine doesn’t stop the virus, but the vaccine passport does? Time to wake up folks.

Enough already

It is time to fix the sand on Highway 90 before someone gets killed, it is as dangerous as snow up north but doesn’t melt! It is costing a fortune to clean the road and the drain pipes, every time!

Boogeyman

This latest boogeyman, CRT, or critical race theory is designed to keep flaming the fire! It’s s just a name that was created and it is not a real curriculum. Let’s not go back to the days when we were taught that China did not exist, except for Hong Kong. Whatever subject it is, just teach facts.

CRT

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. admonished us that we should judge people not by their color, but by their character, Critical Race Theory proclaims we should judge people by their color not by the content of their character.

Wash your hands

My husband observed a man not washing his hands after coming out of the movie theater’s bathroom stall! This is how a virus becomes more contagious. Oh, and don’t get me started on self-service buffets!
