OK, I realize a few are just plain silly, but some are going to become true because there's a BIG BLUE WAVE
coming in the midterms and we'll control both houses.
As the Jan 6th Select Committee exposes more of the repug's shenanigans and all their efforts to suppress
the truth from seeing the light of day, the independent voters in the middle who decide all elections will
want to punish them and will side with Democrats. Do not allow naysayers to convince you of anything else.
Hope this brought a few smiles and a better outlook to the future, remember a glass half full is better than
one half empty.
