A certifiably crazy President…Check. A group of supporters chanting “USA” yet not accepting Democracy…Check. Fox News recycling the same lies told…

When Did 2021 Turn Into Y2K?

I am reaching back into the vault but remember when the World was going to end on the first day of 2000?  Clocks were going to stop, traffic lights would go berserk, the internet would cease to operate and airplanes were going to fall out of the sky.  With the way 2020 has stressed me,…
