Carolyn, who does your hair? It is so beautiful & healthy. I need that look. Please email me her contact. Thank you for sharing.
I am a loyal citizen and I am sending you new information pertaining to the electoral college.
The real reason we are having problems with the presidential election is that the citizens’ state sovereignty has been transferred to a foreign power through the district.
Caroline, please stop using the term “the new normal”. The more people hear it the more they will slowly start to accept it. There is nothing about the world we are living in that is normal. Please stop!

What does Left Wing, Far Right, Tea Party, Democrat, Republican, Evangelical Conservative, Liberal, nd who knows what.
There are many people who do not understand the different political names of the different groups who are represented in this country. With the election around the corner, can you or someone please list the names of these groups and what they stand for or mean. I have a college degree and I do.not understand their meaning or what they stand for. It would be helpful if the information could be published so every voter will have an understanding when they go to the polls to vote.
Whatever you can do to get the meanings out will be helpful!
Thank you!!!
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
