Onions to

the leader opening borders allowing terrorists, criminals, disease, drug and sex traffickers, more of a threat to America than the insurrection.

not understanding the party stands for energy independence, a strong-safe America, freedom, low food and gas prices, low inflation and interest rates, crime-free cities and a secure border.

those who think kids should have unfettered access to guns but not books.

invincible unvaccinated people who trust social media over science… until they take up space in the hospital.

the rude lady who wasn’t paying attention to where she was going and got out of her car cursing after almost hitting me.

anyone who openly carries a gun into a grocery store.

the former federal elected official who shows us every day that he is unhinged and should be behind bars.

the local politician claiming to support Hoosier values by voting no every time, he did not earn his position and still hasn’t.

the political party that lost Congress, the Senate and the White House and now is losing its own unvaccinated dead voters.

singling out minorities being given access to vote without ID or proof of citizenship.

the bigoted, backward thinking legislature for pushing a school bill worthy of a totalitarian regime.

Happy Birthday to

Carolyn Bowden, from Joseph Hart Chapter DAR.

Michala Irons, from Joseph Hart Chapter DAR.

Teresa Satterfield, from Bethel Baptist Church.
