Our Presidential Votes Hold No Sway - So Why Are We Fighting?
'Tis 4.5 Months Until The Inauguration Day Take that in. We have 141 days until the new president of the United States will take the oath that will dictate their life for the next 4 years of their life. And the closer we get to that date - the more evil, cruel, mean, and toxic American citizens will become to each other.

GB Energy: Will Take Time.. Content Warning.
People have been afraid to turn on their heating over winter lest they cannot afford their bills. So, you envisioned people wearing warmer clothing to keep warm. What a 'Dickensian' way to live in the 21st Century too. The government at the time blamed the war between Russia and Ukraine. No doubt, this did contribute to the spike in energy bills. However, the UK did not and does not receive gas from the Russians. As far as I am aware, our gas supply comes from Norway. Rishi Sunak allowed new drilling in the North Sea to exploit gas reserves. He granted new licences to companies hoping to make money out of this. Sunak must have been thinking long term for the UK to be self-sufficient in gas and maybe, oil. However, critics said this long-term scenario was not a game changer in the short term. This policy depending on fossil fuels was a rowing back on the government's policy on renewable energy. Labour has subsequently scrapped this policy.

The Story of the "Felon" and the "Crook"
When it comes to the realm of political fundraising, issues can sometimes bring about as many opportunity as they do obstacles. Imagine for a moment that two political figures are each branded with shameful titles by their opponents.

Make America ?????? Again.
I am upset. I avoid the news for a reason. It gives me anxiety. Or I get mad. Or I get sad. And then I have a very very hard time shaking that feeling. I'm on anxiety regulators for a reason. So unlike the rest of America, I do NOT start my day with the morning news. I start it with coffee, my kids, more coffee, some cleaning, more coffee, some singing with the birds like Snow White, more coffee, and then... yeah. More coffee.
