I didn’t know that when we first arrived. One afternoon, we were…

Read more: TEAMWORKI’m so disgusted with the political system right now. If real Americans ran businesses & households like the cowardly manipulating crooks that are calling the shots in Washington, it would mean jailtime. Just to be fair – the political blame is shared across that magical aisle that all claim to try reaching across. Unfortunately –…
