2021 In Review
It’s that time of the year again. Time to review the year just about past. I’m open to and deserving of criticism and I’ll give myself a big fat “F” on what I predicted would be the fifth biggest political story of the year.

Thanks, Joe!

America is so much better off this year than it was last Thanksgiving under then-President Donald Trump!
