1% of the left AND right are making 99% of us Americans confused, frustrated and angered, at times even with each other! Maybe its time for a little less social media and more time with your neighbors and friends. Just my thought...for what its worth, which ain't much.

If you don't have kids in school, you WILL NOT not understand how infuriating this is...change my mind! It makes no sense
Toddlers are being forced to wear masks all day long in school. Maybe one day they’ll be governor or the mayor of LA and they won’t have the follow the rules they impose on others.

What I’ve learned these past days!
1) polls were incredibly wrong! (Wasn’t a shocker)
2) this country has never been more equally divided
3) every level of the government has been compromised likely from both parties!

A lot of talk about climate crisis and how the weather is becoming more severe! So far, there is little support in data showing this! I'm not anti-global warming but I do have my hesitations at times the blame! Many don't talk about the dust bowl years of the 1930's! Why not?
