The Best Job in the World
Recently, someone asked me to describe my ideal job. For me it would have to be Steve Hartman’s job. He literally has THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD – well, okay maybe second after playing with pandas. His job is to find angels among us and share their stories.
Trump Officials Clarify What Constitutes an Act of Domestic Terrorism
Senior Trump Administration officials held a press conference today to clarify what the Trump Administration now considers “an act of domestic terrorism.” Most Americans have nothing to worry about – just so long as they voted for Trump in the last election – or invested heavily in Trump’s crypto coin, that is.
