“Jim Crow 1”
This nation is in serious trouble. Many states Republican controlled legislators are trying their best to denigrate voters who would more than likely vote for Democrats off the voting rolls. Our neighboring state, Wisconsin, is one of them. The more they can keep people from voting the better chance they have for complete control of… Continue reading “Jim Crow 1”
Marjorie Taylor Green
Marjorie Taylor Greene as a member of our congress scares the hell out of me. They must have opened the doors to the asylum in her Georgia district to garner enough votes to put in the House of Representatives.

If this was a President from the opposing party gallows would have been erected and someone would be held accountable. False… Continue reading Hypocrits

An Injustice
The voters of the following House Representatives ought to be ashamed for putting them in office. They are the top deniers of everything that has happened in the past year. Many termed the Covid 19 pandemic as a hoax. Taylor Greene has introduced a bill to take Dr. Anthony Fauci’s salary away from him. Some… Continue reading An Injustice

Slap in the Face
slap in the face It appears that Democrats have fallen off the cliff, led by Nancy Pelosi. She declared Ilhan Omar a valued member of the Democratic Party, despite that Omar compared America to Hamas in perpetrating unthinkable atrocities. That is a direct slap in the face to the America that has sacrificed millions of… Continue reading Slap in the Face
