I am angry

I have noticed that I am becoming increasingly more and more angry with people in general.  Tonight was no exception. I was a red light that has two lanes that turn left. I was in the right hand lane and had my blinker on. There was a car beside me. The light turned and I […]

What is right by man

Man seems to think he can do what he wants without any sort of consequences.  Take Otto Warmbier, while regrettably he died, he was found guilty of stealing and sentenced to 15 years hard labor.  We were in an outrage over the sentencing for such an offense.

Business Closing

Many businesses seem to be closing or laying off a lot of employees.  Will Trump be blamed for this?  My guess is yes.
