Some Hard Truths, For Hard Times

The President of the United States is no longer leader of the free world.

The United States is no longer the “good” guys.

People are suffering from self-inflicted pain because of their votes.

The world was safer and better before January 20th than it is now.

Everyone in the USA is going to have it rough because of tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Cars, beer, power, and avocados are going to get more expensive.

The Russian Government is negatively influencing everything. The United States is now in league with them and China.

We are all about to go into hard times. Some harder than others.

This list could go on forever, but this is enough hard truths to keep most of us up at night.

Quote Of The Day
