2024/11/06

Ever listened to two people or two groups argue? Both opponents believe there is only one real truth – MINE!! It doesn’t matter how loudly the other side yells. It doesn’t make a difference how many facts the other side lays out and cites triumphantly. These volunteer advocates for living with sky high blood pressure scoff at anything that doesn’t back up what they know to be “the absolute truth, so help me God.” You’ve seen it happen, or probably been part of it at some point.

2024/10/29

One of the greatest achievements of the Trump administration and the Republican-controlled Congress during the beginning of President Trump’s term was passing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) in January of 2018.
