Feb 2025

a local Magat web site because I called Trump a Putin puppet.

I was one of about 3 or 4 Democrats who tried to be truth tellers.

I also dropped my subscription to our local Magat newspaper. I would write letters to the editor, one of about 4 or 5 Democrats who did the same.

The editor of the newspaper publicly called me his "pinko commie friend."
