On The Green Deal
There is a real threat to our freedom today, the Democratic Party is moving further and further to the left, or more commonly known as socialism. There is a very strong draw for common folk to lean that way. Yet, it is the common folk who are hurt the most from such a system. They…
On Letting the Universe Do Its Thing
I was watching a show on T.V. the other night called, ‘Swamp People’, a show about swamp men thinning out the swamp of an expanding population of alligators.
