This week is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. It’s an important week and we wanted to express our gratitude to the first first-responders who often don’t get the recognition they deserve. We are talking about the dedicated men and women that answer the call when you press 9-1-1.

If there was ever a time to start growing your own vegetables this may be it. Joe Biden has recently informed us that we will face food shortages this year. Not "may", but "will". What does he know that we don't? I don't know but it sounds ominous to me. If you've been paying attention you seen prices rise on nearly every commodity on the market. I was appalled at the price of a sheet of OSB lumber, going from $15 a sheet to more than $60 almost overnight. Gas prices are more than double what...
By now everyone should have heard that Disneyworld has “gone woke”. Terrible use of the English language in my opinion.

Disney has latched onto this bill as an excuse to promote LGBTXXX lifestyles to everyone who visits Disney...
