March 6, 2023 Ray Cardello

We will know for sure that there is something in the works when Mayor Pete shows up in Kyiv, standing next to Zelenskyy as fake bomb sounds blast in the background. He should be there soon to ascertain what must be done to solve the pothole problem in Ukraine.

March 6, 2023March 6, 2023 Skip

So some birdies have been tweeting in my ear that a bunch of meetings have been held without proper noticing, the public doesn’t know, “fast and loose” is a phrase that could be applied to these “Citizens for Belknap PAC (Democrat) Republicans”.
