in the history of the world.
I love America.
Warts and all.
And if you don’t like me saying that, you can go post about it on your own blog.
It’s also a Friday and my book has sold well to friends and family. If you haven’t purchased it’s there for you on Amazon.
If you have purchased, please go back and leave a review. It helps. Bigly.
Before we get to the fireworks, I’ll do a little bit of celebrating of my own.
I turn 64 on Sunday and I’m one step, one feeble step, closer to retirement.
That’s all I’ve got for today.
I’ll be back on Tuesday.

The Silent Majority Returns in Grand Style
Shaun Kenney at The Republican Standard
