Zook, you can't think like that unless the Government says it's OK, Can you?...

[Nana]

I think I might have given Mom a headache sometimes, but all I know is that I got my share of butt blistering as a kid. Hmmmmm. Wonder if that is why I turned out ok afterall.

[newtriker]

This sounds just like school scenarios--I'm so glad I'm retired! As a school administrator and know how govt. agencies work, these are very close to the truth!!!

[Papa Zook]

It is pretty ridiculous how complicated things have gotten. All this political correctness just isnt working.

[Papa Zook]

worth a bump from 2008...

[PosseRider]

Hey Zook, I bet ya will get BANNED if you post that on Facebook. Surprised the G-men haven't knocked on your door yet.

[Jack Klarich]

It looks like the scene is turning finally, the woke mob, MSM and politicians are getting eaten

Soon the left will be held accountable for all the lies on voting rights

[Jack Klarich]

Next up, strip funding from NPR

There is not 1 reason tax payers should foot the bill for this or any State run public information outlet that smears America and promotes hate

Common sense went out the door when free money came in the door....

They managed to get OANN thrown off Direct TV and Rand Paul cancelled his service with them. The leftists don't want to hear the truth and feel we shouldn't either.
