I saw a clever and appropriate post from Governor Tim Walz, “I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national Security advisor.”  Get Smart was the creation of Mel Brooks and Buck Henry premiering in 1965. Agent 86 was played by Don Adam’s and his trusted DEI...

Egg prices are way up under the current administration and projected to go up another 20% this year.  WTF, I thought a slim majority elected the OW because of inflation concerns. The egg industry has lost over 8% of its flock due to bird flu contagions. Exit World...
