Former Congressional Representative Cori Bush of Missouri once lived out of her car.  Up until twenty years ago it would’ve been unheard of for anyone like that ever being able to have an opportunity to run for federal office.  According to Forbes $15.9 billion was spent last year across all federal races.  The Harris campaign accrued $1.6 billion while Trump’s […]

Installed in 1961 by John F. Kennedy, the U.S. Agency for International Development has more than just displayed mercy to suffering under developed nations.  It has brought good will as perception from those countries needing help toward American citizens.

It’s funny what an election will do. I’ve noticed a lot less grievance from the fanatical Trumpian culture here around my Northeastern Alabama community. As if they were crying infants in the night finally given their blanket. Not seen as much are the ridiculous flags flown from trucks. All of the yard signs and snarky
