The emergency isn't at your front door. It's at the border. If you think it's so safe down there, why don't you go? You won't be missed. Except maybe by fast food chain restaurants who trade on obese layabouts.

The democRats are ignoring the biggest national emergency of all,


that being the treasonous coup attempt on a constitutionally elected president.

You understand. Must be vigilant in the struggle. The non English speaking yard crew in my neighborhood were all gathered in a circle and talking during lunch today. I think they’re planning something....
