Now, Oreos are not my favorite cookie by any STRETCH of the imagination, BUT this is still an awesome header! Thanks Pete!
What?
MY favorite?
Without a doubt, oatmeal raisin…specifically, Mary’s homemade oatmeal raisin, but any oatmeal raisin beats any other cookie hands down. Now, second place would be the Samoas from the Girl Scouts. Just so you know.
So, no updates on the generation gap, cause I just sent it out and you guys haven’t seen it yet, but just so you remember, tell me what generation you are, so I can do a good spread. Of the 488 Subscribers and the roughly 700 weekly visitors to the website, I’d like to know what age bracket you fall into … no, what generation bracket … if you’re willing to share that.
Come to find out that Word Press is somewhat tracking the countries of where you guys are. I just found this out. Some of it is pretty cool information. Here’s a graphic I put together. This is visitors over the last 30 days.
When you look at it for a year or for all time, it is REALLY cool.
Anyway, let’s get on to the good stuff, shall we?
Before the internet, people thought villages only had one idiot. Boy, were we wrong.
Me: [getting off the couch] I’ll be right back. My Dog: I would feel more comfortable if we went together.
Why? Why, why, why?
Normally I would save this for the Last Word, but the way my day is going I’m sure I would forget, so I’m going to just put this right here. 🙂 This is copied from, somewhere else, by someone else, and forwarded by someone else again. But, I understand why, because it’s that good.
You’ll cry over a sermon but won’t change a habit. Feeling moved isn’t the goal — being transformed is.
How often do we walk out of a powerful sermon in tears – deeply moved, deeply convicted – yet return to the same habits, the same choices, the same patterns that keep us stuck?
The truth is, emotion isn’t the evidence of transformation. Obedience is. Tears can mark the beginning of change, but if they don’t lead to action, they become little more than a fleeting moment.
God’s Word was never meant to just stir your heart, it’s meant to shape your life. If we’re inspired on Sunday but unchanged by Monday, something’s missing.
Conviction without correction leads to spiritual stagnation. Transformation happens when we stop being hearers only and start living the truth daily, when we apply what we’ve received.
Don’t settle for being moved, be transformed. Don’t just listen to the truth, live it. That’s what real worship looks like. That’s what growth looks like. That’s what it means to walk with God.
It’s a great message that’s really needed right now. Be Transformed.
That’s just mean!
Okay, got a bunch of these, and they may be a little late, but that’s because I’m a bit ahead…the whole time traveling thing that I’m doing right now…so let’s do this…
Looking around on line MANY media sources seem to think that the President made a mistake in bombing Iran; that we should have stayed out of it. Okay, this is just one dragon’s opinion, but let me try to build a little bit of a case up here.
This is a people that believe that America is the big Satan and Israel is the little Satan. They believe that if they die while killing Jews or Americans then they will go to paradise with 70 (or 72) virgins. They have been taught since childhood that they are supposed to kill all the Jews in the world. They have been taught that Israel is their ancient land, even though the Jews have owned that land 2,000 plus years longer than Islam has even existed. (Mohamad was not born until the 600s AD). So, everything they believe and everything they preach is a lie, so there is no logic that we can argue against there. If you give them a nuclear weapon, you can’t expect them to just hold on to it so that they are “Protected” like everyone else. Even though they KNOW they will be turned into a glass parking lot, they don’t care (remember the 72 virgins) give them a nuke and they will immediately launch it towards Israel. They had to be stopped before they got that far.
HAD TO BE.
Trump tried diplomacy first, even though we ALL knew it wouldn’t work. But he had to. The Israelis didn’t have to and they didn’t.
Like I said, one dragon’s opinion.
That is awesome!!!!! What a great crib!
What the heck?!?! An orange gun! Although it sounds like a lot of fun, shooting teenagers is not a great idea (although I will openly admit that there are plenty of teenagers that I’d love to shoot with an orange)
Yeah! You better run!
I’m all for deporting illegal immigrants. But at this point, I’m ready to deport the people who keep fighting to let them stay, also.
Honestly, Vegan food ain’t that bad — once you add meat and cheese to it.
And that’s the perfect example.
2525
We are now only 500 years away from finding out if man is still alive.
That is a REALLY esoteric reference, so in the interest of everyone “getting it”
And that’s the end of this one. Having time off is getting me quite a bit ahead.
And I said I wondered where our campers fell in this graph and I bet that most of them were in Silent and Baby Boomer and MAYBE a couple in Gen X. Well, we haven’t had too many respond, certainly not enough to get a real sense of the numbers. But, maybe this will be an incentive for more people to chime in. But, for the record, right now, 60% of us are Baby Boomers and 40% of us are Silent Generation.
I didn’t think it would be that drastic of a split, but … okay, truth in advertising … five responses, 3 for boomers, 2 for silent…so, not a huge data base. So, anyway, send me your responses and I’ll keep track.
And in the meantime,
Wait! One more thing! Since I don’t want to spoil the laughter, let me get this out now before we start laughing, then whoever wants can put this down, like I’m likely to, and come back later, maybe go wash their mouth out with Listerine or something.
Whoopi Goldberg had the absolute gall to say on national TV that the way the women are treated in Iran is the same as the way blacks are treated in the United States. HOW DARE SHE! You know, I knew she was a moronic, blind turnip, but I had no idea she was that incredibly uncaring and hateful for EVERYONE who isn’t black. Let’s take a look. Just a couple of quick examples. Women in Iran can be beaten, and even killed for removing their head coverings and letting their hair show or dancing in public.
I can’t think of a single instance, in any state of the United States where it is illegal, much less carries the death penalty, for black men or women, to remove any kind of covering nor for dancing. You understand what I’m saying.
It is also the death penalty for ANYONE to criticize the government on any social media platform…and what is it that Whoopi does for a living on national TV?
Goldberg, you should be ashamed of yourself! How dare you denigrate those poor Iranian people like that. It just shows that the only thing you REALLY care about is stirring up racism in your own country. YOU are the REAL racist.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
That’s Isaiah 5:20 and you should pay CLOSE attention.
Okay, I’m done. Now…
I’d ask how many of you know who these guys are, but we’ve already determined that (so far) 100% of you are as old as I am.
An enormously wealthy 65-year-old man falls in love with a young woman in her twenties and is contemplating a proposal.
“Do you think she’d marry me if I tell her I’m 45?” he asked a friend.
“Your chances are better,” said the friend, “if you tell her you’re 90.”
You know, I was thinking, what’s the big deal, they’re probably drop tanks (fuel tanks) or travel pods (storage containers), then I zoomed in on it and looked and I can see the lugs at the bottom where they connected on to the weapons pylons and zooming in on the front looks like where the fuse screw in … so … dang! I don’t remember what they are called because I never loaded a lot of them, I spent more time with the Mk-82, 500 lb. but those look a lot like the old 250 lb. bombs. So yeah…dang.
Dear dumb liberal protesters,
If you don’t walk in the middle of the road and block traffic, you’ll never get run over.
There are 900,000 illegals in Los Angeles aloe. Illegals cost California taxpayers $31 billion every year. ICE is going to save California. I voted for it.
No one in Congress should have dual citizenship. Anyone who does should be removed immediately.
Something from Kairos…
Who the church? — WE THE CHURCH!!!
Were? WERE????
Cop: You’re going to prison for forgery. Me: [Slides him a 37 dollar bill] How about now?
How come we have anger management classes but not stupidity management classes? You can be stupid, but I can’t be angry? Your stupidity is probably why I’m angry in the first place!
Psalm 122:6-7 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. 7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
When Democrats lose, streets burn, police are hit, and businesses get looted. Every single time. Don’t ignore the pattern.
Sweet amen!

Excerpts From A Cat’s Daily Diary:
DAY 183 OF MY CAPTIVITY
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture.
Tomorrow I may eat another house plant.
Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the stairs.
In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair, must try this on their bed.
Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm, this is not working according to plan.
There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to MY power of “allergies.” Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage.
I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit.
The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time…
I get an email and a magazine called The Stand. It is put out by the American Family Association. The same people who do American Family Radio. A FANTASTIC organization. One of two organizations that I give a monthly donation to. The other is RIF, Reading is Fundamental. Anyway, The Stand email had an article that was so really good that I want to share it here with you guys and possibly talk a little bit about it. It’s very short. I page, typewritten when I copied it for the guys at the jail for next week.
Open letters appear to be a trend these days, especially on social media. A quick scroll through Facebook reveals an open to letter to … “the friend I lost too young,” “anyone looking for love,” “parents who financially support adult children,” “my neighbors who have a grill,” “Millennials writing open letters” – the list goes on and on.
Google explains that the purpose of an open letter is to address publicly a certain individual or group of people in an often-critical manner. To me, it’s like saying what’s on your heart without saying it directly to a person. If it strikes a chord with the reader, then that’s likely for whom it was intended.
Perhaps, in a way, open letters are akin to conviction. I’m certainly not downplaying the role of the Holy Spirit or saying that a man-written letter replaces it. But what I am saying is that sometimes these open letters function as tools of conviction, and they hit hard; they pierce the heart, and it hurts – in an infuriatingly good and gracious way.
Yesterday, I read one like that. Actually, my husband read it to me. It was written by Paul Middleton, a pastor my husband learned and served under for several years. Almost 20 years later, Paul continues to pastor at Calvary Baptist Church in Batesville, Mississippi. My husband pastors a church now too. In fact, Paul helped my husband work through and understand God’s calling on his life. Their mentoring relationship continues to remain strong. And because Paul has had such an impact on my husband’s life, he now influences my life.
So when my husband came home yesterday and said he wanted to read something to me that Paul had written, I listened. And quickly decided I needed to share it. He didn’t title it, so I’ve decided to call it “Paul’s Open Letter to Jesus.”
Dear Jesus,
I have been reading a lot lately, and I have realized something.
I hate to tell You this, but You could use some sensitivity training. Was it really necessary to label an entire group “a brood of vipers?” Let’s watch our words, please.
Didn’t you know that Your insistence of heaven’s entry plan would obliterate the commonly held belief that there are many ways to eternal bliss? Did you have to polarize people with such a rigid stance? Did You mention a place of eternal torment for those who refused Your forgiveness? Seriously? Were You not privy to a few advisors? I can be fairly certain the cue cards specifically mentioned love and peace.
And about that lady … You know the one. You told her … gulp … to “go and sin no more.” Jesus, did it ever cross Your mind that she would hear that statement as a personal attack on her way of living? Dare I say, You made a moral judgment that her lifestyle was wrong? Do You know how high and mighty that sounds? Didn’t You know that was degradingly offensive?
Honestly, I do not know what to say to You. Everywhere I look, I see articles and read statements about how You would act and speak. But, then I read the New Testament. I have to be honest. You do not seem to be the man everyone brings into today’s charged conversations. I must conclude that either the biblical writers manufactured their spiritual teacher or else this culture doesn’t really know You.
Which one is it?
Gee, which one could it be? The Jesus that these false teachers, these impastors want us to believe, or the one the Bible teaches us about? I actually heard a quote the other day from an impastor where they were trying to convince their “congregation” that Jesus rode the young donkey into Jerusalem on that fateful Passover week, in drag…dressed as a woman. Unbelievable. We’re told in 2 Peter 2:1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. How in the world can these blind turnips even believe in this complete and utter nonsense?
How? We are even warned of this! In 2 Corinthians 4:4 Paul warns us that …the god of this world pause right there! Who is the god (little “g”) of this world? That’s right, Satan! Okay, carry on. …the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. So, what does this mean? It means that Satan has blinded the unbelievers into believing the lies of the false teachers because it matches their own world view. Which is why in the tribulation times so many will be lost because they will be blinded, even after the Rapture PROVES the truth of the Bible. It just proves even more how close we are to the end times, my friends.
I’ve gotten a little far afield in my Last Word for today, but I’m having so much fun talking about this. I could go on all day.
For questions or comments, please feel free to write to me at impishdragon@dragonlaffs.com and until next time…
I think (therefore I am. Cogito, ergo sum.) Hmm, not what I was thinking at all. Let’s start again, shall we, this time trying to keep the crazy, inner dragon at bay.
I think (I think I am Therefore I am, I think
Of course you are my bright little star I’ve miles and miles of files Pretty files of your forefather’s fruit And now to suit our great computer You’re magnetic ink
I’m more than that I know I am At least, I think I must be
There you go man Keep as cool as you can Face piles of trials with smiles It riles them to believe That you perceive the web they weave And keep on thinking free)
Okay, so now we’re flashing back to a 1969 Moody Blues song called In the Beginning. Impish’s head is in a weird place this morning…especially if I’m talking about me in the third person. Probably my favorite band of all time.
Who?
No, not the Who, the Moody Blues.
The Moody Who?
Blues.
Who sings the blues?
Oh, just stop it right now.
I think this episode is supposed to be for Monday, 23 Jun. Which reminds me. I was so busy with things last Monday that I forgot it was a time for celebration!!!! To the best of my knowledge, going backwards in time, it was Dragon Laffs 19th Anniversary! How about that? 19 years of doing DL in this format.
So, let’s move on to the laughs and maybe I’ll add some other stuff to this as we go on.
Theory of relativity:
The more relatives are visiting you, the slower the time passes.
I laughed so hard at that one. This guy doesn’t look like he can defeat a Big Mac.
What a GREAT bunch of guys! This one really touched me.
And this one really cracked me up. But mine’s a double.
This next one touched me quite a bit. I think I’ve mentioned before how badly dementia has affected my dad. Thanks to Chris for this next one.
If I get dementia, I’d like my family to hang this wish list up on the wall where I live. I want them to remember these things.
1a. Every time you enter the room announce yourself. “Hi Mom- it’s Margaret.”
NEVER ask- Do you know who I am??? That causes anxiety.
1b. If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality.
2. If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.
3. If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.
4. If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me.
5. If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself.
6. If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded.
7. If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am.
8. If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friends.
9. If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past.
10. If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me.
11. If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated.
12. If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even now if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.
13. If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room.
14. If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live.
15. If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often.
16. If I get dementia, don’t act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places. Take a deep breath. It’s not my fault.
17. If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favorite music playing within earshot.
18. If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place.
19. If I get dementia, don’t exclude me from parties and family gatherings.
20. If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs or handshakes.
21. If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love.”
ᴄᴏᴘʏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘᴀsᴛᴇ in Honor of someone you know or knew who has dementia. In Honor of all those who are fighting Dementia/Alzheimer’s and the family members that care for them with such patience and understanding. There’s no greater love or loyalty.
Kind of spoils your rant when you know the truth, doesn’t it.
I really like this guy.
Can you IMAGINE leaving your kid hang outside your car nowadays?!?! I can hear Karen fainting right now!
That is such an AWESOME way of looking at it.
I think we may have done this one in the past, but it is so funny it’s worth a repeat.

I took this picture yesterday (Thursday) in Wabash after a special class. I have never seen a double rainbow in real life before and I have never seen such a vibrant rainbow before. I swear that thing was plugged in somewhere! You could almost hear it crackle with energy! It was amazing!
Look at that! You can make out all seven colors. Remember the old way of remembering the colors of a rainbow? ROY-G-BIV? Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. Pronounced Roy Gee Biv. And MAN, yellow sure is bright! God’s promise to us that He will never again destroy the earth by flood. Next time, it will be by fire. Says so right there in the Bible.
Too funny. Gotta love science jokes.
I have words for you, but as a Christian man I can’t use many of them. But, I can say that, with that look on your face, the price was cheap to get rid of you.
Every day I get up and look through the Forbes list of the richest people in America. If I’m not there, I go to work.

That’s it until next time. May God Bless you and keep you until we meet again.
Another issue started after the last one finished. I’m trying to get ahead for you guys. Not to mention, that I enjoy it so much. It’s a Saturday afternoon, while the No Kings idiots are marching throughout the country, my three girls are sound asleep around the house. Pepper on the floor, Willow on the couch, and Izzy upstairs. I don’t have the news on because it just makes me mad. I have on Warehouse 13, I’m relaxing and enjoying a wet Saturday. So, let’s go ahead and get some laughter going, shall we?
Now THAT is a great and timely prayer for our times!
The worst pub I’ve ever been in was called The Fiddle.
It was a vile inn.
10%. That is how much the average penis size has grown in the U.K. and experts aren’t sure why.
Some think it could be due to Ozempic but that is pure speculation.
Penis sizes are growing around the world actually and doctors say they’re concerned.
I went to the Walmart today and I was there for literally 5 minutes.
When I came out there was a police officer writing a parking ticket for being in a handicap spot.
So I went up to him and said, “Come on, buddy, how about giving a guy a break?”
He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. So I called him a pencil-necked cop.
He glared at me and started writing another ticket for worn tires!
So I then asked him if his psychiatrist makes him lie face down on the couch cause he’s so ugly.
He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket!
This went on until he had placed 5 tickets on the windshield… the more I insulted him, the more tickets he wrote.
I didn’t care. My car was parked around the corner.
I started out with nothing… and I still have most of it.
I told you it was a bunch.
Best Childhood Memory…
Falling asleep on the couch and waking up in bed… I miss teleporting. It never happens to me anymore.
Let’s do a couple more and move on…
My pal tells me he always cries after having sex. I told him it was his own fault for getting sent to prison in the first place.
How to frighten the new generation:
Put them in a room with a rotary phone, an analog watch, and a TV with no remote. Then leave them directions on how to use everything in cursive.
And another one in the box. May God bless you with love and happiness. Until next time.
I just finished up the last issue and I’m starting this one. I have a little bit of time before I have to pick Izzy up for her appointment, so I thought I’d spend it with you while watching Warehouse 13 on TV. Remember that show? I don’t have regular TV, so I tend to watch … stuff. I watched Eureka, Grimm, Person of Interest … you know … stuff. Noise in the background. I tried turning on some of my podcasts while I worked on this, but I became too interested and stopped working on this. I tried having nothing on or music on and it put me to sleep.
So…stuff.
So, let’s get started on the funny stuff since I just finished my rant from the last issue.
I hired a handyman and gave him a list. When I got home, only #1, 3, and 5 were done. Turns out, he only does odd jobs.
I told myself that I should stop DRINKING But I’m not about to listen to a drunk that talks to himself.
I just realized I haven’t done the “Hokey Pokey” in over 10 years. I guess when you get older, you just forget what it’s all about.
You know you’re ugly when you go to a haunted house and come out with an application.
Quote of the Day:
Heat makes things expand. So, I don’t have a weight problem. I’m just hot.
That is such a great picture!
If a cookie falls on the floor and you pick it up… That’s a squat, right?
This is the back 0f Izzy’s car now. (Yes, I changed the license plate. No, she doesn’t actually have IZZY 1 as her plate) She wants to get rid of the Sheriff’s Association stuff that I have put on, as well as the zombie apocalypse response unit decal. Her reasoning was that, “Dad, I have no idea what to do in case of a real zombie apocalypse and I don’t want someone coming up to me and asking in case it happens.” I kinda just stood there. Either she was unusually straight-faced or serious. I’m hoping for the first, but REALLY afraid it was the latter.
This amazing fossil looks exactly like a dragon, hard to believe it is real.

My two girls on heightened alert over the demonstrations due to take place in our area. That’s Willow in the top left and Pepper in the right. Aren’t they fearsome looking in their attentiveness? Their protectiveness? Their … Okay … they’re lazy ladies and they’d probably help the robbers carry the TV out…moving on.
And everyone of us have been called to do something.
But it’s the Israelis who are the bad guys? It’s amazing to me. Over the weekend, Israel launched a preemptive strike against Iran. They targeted military and industrial objectives. Precession strikes. Why? Because Iran was making nuclear weapons with the express purpose of nuking Israel. The United States was working towards a diplomatic solution. Iran was lying through their teeth. Israel waited, and waited, and waited … until they couldn’t wait any longer and then they struck, only against the military and industrial targets to stop the threat of nuclear war.
What did Iran do? Launched missiles against Israel’s civilians. Like they always do. Because they have sworn to completely destroy and kill every Jew in the world. They teach that to their children in school. The Jews don’t teach their children to kill all the Palestinians.
But who are the bad guys according to the world?
But I have news for you…and it says so in the Bible…anyone who goes against the Jews, loses.
Okay, let me just push this soapbox back out of the way again.
My wife filed for divorce today, saying I am too un-American for her.
To be honest, I saw that coming from a kilometer away.
Okay, I have to admit, this whole, Generation X, Generation Z, Generation…what-the-heck-ever always kind of confuses me, so I went on line and found this great little chart…
So, 1883 – 1900 – The Lost Generation – You would be from 142 to 125 years old 1901 – 1927 – The Greatest Generation or G.I. Generation – 124 to 98 years old 1928 – 1945 – The Silent Generation – 97 to 80 years old 1946 – 1964 – The Baby Boomers – 79 to 61 years old 1965 – 1980 – Generation X – 60 to 45 years old 1981 – 1996 – Millennials or Generation Y – 44 to 29 years old 1997 – 2012 – Zoomers or Generation Z – 28 to 13 years old 2013 – mid 2020s – Generation Alpha – 12 years old and younger
So, I wonder how many from each generation we have reading DL? My bet would be that most of us fall in the Baby Boomers, Generation X, with maybe a few Ys thrown in…maybe.
I can’t believe it’s riot season already. I still have my Ukraine decorations up.
Boy, ain’t that the truth! What in the heck do they think they are going to accomplish other than making us angry?
They said ‘CHEER UP! THINGS COULD BE WORSE!!
So I CHEERED UP AND SURE ENOUGH,
THINGS GOT WORSE!!!
I’m sitting here watching some news coverage of the silly-assed No Kings protests. These turnips have no idea what in the world they are talking about. I will say one thing, so far, they are all peaceful. Let’s all hope and pray that they stay that way. They have the right to say what they want to say.
I had to turn it off. “Immigration built this country”? No…not really. But, I’m not going to give a history lesson here about the difference between legal immigration and invasion.
Until next time my friends. May you be Blessed by God with love and happiness.
