            If Harrison Floyd decides to run against Marjorie Taylor Greene in the Georgia congressional district where Democrats generally get less than 30% of the vote he will have one thing going for him that Greene can’t brag about.

          • Trump is the Discount Ex-president: “What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger” seems to be Trump’s mantra. It’s worked so far among his cultists. Will it continue to be effective? By Hal Brown (or so he claims he is)

                Advisory: Sometimes I write about subjects which I know bupkis about. If you are a regular reader you probably figured this out. When it comes to religious subjects I admit I know less than bupkis about it, if this is mathematically possible since bupkis is nothing. I was raised a secular Jew who was agnostic…
