Things that give you hope.
Earlier today, I started thinking about some things that give me reason to feel hopeful.

Here’s to the State of Mississippi
So do you think Ed regrets calling out John Roberts now from the 2004 tour? He’s literally “saved” numerous Supreme Court decisions. 2 this week.

Echo Chamber
You folks should really get out in the open and look at data and facts in a non-biased, non- agenda fashion. When all you read, say and hear is what you already believe, you’ve probably done yourself a disservice.
