Reducing Republican Inflation Lies

Nothing To See Here

A cruel fact of life is that the older we get the deeper the cold penetrates our bones. Some of the smarter ones among us have already traded some of the best fishing of the year and deer hunting for warmer weather. This morning that seems like a...

 

Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime

That was a song a long time ago. The question is how something that makes you feel the best also makes you hurt the worst. When it says until death you do part in our marriage vows, does that mean when one dies the love does too? Not even close. Some...

More Deer Hunters Less Buck Hunters

Smoke and Mirrors

When watching O’Biden and company celebrating their inflation reduction act one has to wonder if they didn’t get a little heavy on the smoke in their fantasyland of smoke and mirrors. What part of inflation was 1.4 percent when he took over? It...
