Some folks who disagree with Trump’s speech

Tuesday follies

Let’s have a cheerful start to a new administration…and like all good vets, we start with a little schadenfreude. (Taking joy in the misfortunes of someone else, roughly.)

Trump to do list item number 3 – replenish the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Biden looted it in a bid to minimally lower gas prices and has yet to replenish it because the replacement didn’t meet test standards (which the original wasn’t tested for) and generated insufficient profit.
