Deporting illegals, rebuilding our Military’s character and mission, lowering gas prices, and attempting to prosecute all the government miscreants who shamelessly lied to the American people, is all good, BUT IT AIN’T ENOUGH, particularly, for a lot of lower-middle-class and low-income Americans this Thanksgiving.

How power quietly shifts when no one’s watching A mafia and a school board seem like total opposites. One rules through fear and secrecy; the other is supposed to represent voters in the open.
