I am going to get political for a few lines.

Our country seems to be going in the wrong direction. The leadership is doing things I do not agree with:

  1. The Southern border…That is a joke! Doesn’t seem to be any restraints of who can come across the border. Drugs are getting through also. Terrorist are crossing the border as well. Needs to be cleaned up.
  2. Inflation…I have heard that people aren’t buying Hygiene products now, because of the cost. That could end up being smelly.
  3. Gas prices…Sky rocketing.
  4. Interest rates… They are so high no one can afford to buy a home.

How easy it is to forget. We should never forget the disaster in Afghanistan. It was a huge embarrassment for the US. Lost American lives. Thousands of Afghan people stranded. Hundreds of Americans left high and dry.

It couldn’t have gotten much worse, and it seems the White House may have successfully covered it up.

NEVER FORGET!!
