During the government shutdown you heard a lot about SNAP/EBT/CAL Fresh benefits. I will explain the propaganda both sides were using. 90% of it is not true, 100% of it was deplorable.

Look up in the sky… No, it wasn’t a bird, or a plane or Hillary’s star falling last night. Instead it was a Chinese rocket—possibly a satellite killer—disintegrating as it entered earth’s orbit. Except in movies, I’ve never seen anything like it. If you saw the “fireworks” at the end of Independence Day as Will…

This morning I got the following text from my 11 year old son. “Dad, I know why in the constitution there is nothing about having a woman president. I think it is because the people who wrote it had wives.”
