Schiff blasts Democrats

Dear Editor, For the last several years I’ve been aware that, since I’m a Trump supporter, the coastal elites the media and the Democrat Party consider me a “deplorable”. But over the last few weeks I guess I have, despite being married to a Latina, morphed into a new species – a white Nationalist.  Since I know a lot of fellow deplorables, but not any white Nationalists, I’ve given a lot of thought as to how and why the media, desperate to oust Trump and defeat Republicans by “any means necessary” is so enamored of the term.

To be a child again

Wouldn’t it be nice to be a child again? To live a carefree life under the protection and provision of loving parents? To spend carefree summers swimming, bike riding, game playing and just ‘hanging out’ with friends. Though it once was the case for so many of us, times have changed and now we must play ‘adult;’ a game that is not really a game. Through the years the carefree life of adolescence has given way to a life filled with great responsibility. The ‘daily-grind’ (as we sometimes call it), includes going to a job every day; and quite often…
