  • The CDC is at it again

    In the next annal of too-little, too-late: Now, a judge has ruled that the CDC has been breaking the law, likely for years, by deleting information that should have been kept for government records. America First Legal (AFL) secured a preliminary injunction against the Biden-Harris Administration for its policies that routinely result in the illegal… Continue reading

  • Fun Movie Friday–A Knight's Tale

    One of the movies where Heath Ledger was amazing.  It also included Alan Tudyk (Wash from Serenity and Firefly) in the cast.  But I really think that the true star was Paul Bettany as Chaucer. Continue reading
