Orchids to
Dr. Charles B. McDermott and staff at McDermott Orthodontics for their exceptional care, advice and generosity when treating my daughter while we are vacationing the Columbus area from Portugal, from Nicole and Coco.
Americans who know that competence is far more important than joy when choosing a leader.
Onions to
the woman in the white SUV who shook her fist at me, not realizing that north bound lanes had the green light and arrow at County Road 550N with train traffic.
people who don’t understand that lower inflation means prices are still going up and will never go down again.
news organizations not reporting on the contents of hacked emails this election that they were obsessed with in 2016.
the big mouth running for the top office who never served, yet he makes another verbal attack on both the wounded and the dead U.S. veterans.
activists who think renewable energy can reliably substitute entirely for present sources of power generation.
the unrealistically low estimate of homeless people living outside of shelters in Columbus, as demonstrated by my frequent walks and resulting encounters with many, many vast homeless encampments.
those who don’t understand that corporations and CEOs experiencing record profits but enriching themselves further instead of lowering prices is the definition of corporate greed, not inflation.
those who don’t realize bacon is not fried and the way it is cooked is safe.
that want to make it legal to walk around town with open containers of alcohol.
the previously elected one, who’s cold hearted anti-family policy separated children from their parents at the border, some of whom have yet to be reunited.
the insane amount of money used for campaigns to put whoever in power so they can spend billions, if not trillions all for the name of democracy.
the school bus driver who promotes politics while hauling school kids.
