That is my situation. ...

Charlie Kirk was shot and killed in Utah. This is a tragic thing to happen, but this is the America we live in today. After the shooting, President Donald Trump came out immediately, blaming far left violent Democrats. If you do violent acts supporting Trump, he praises those who do these violent acts. Trump said the January 6 rioters, who tried to overthrow the government, damaged our Capitol, wanted to hang Mike Pense, injured and caused the death of police officers were peaceful protesters, were in no way violent and were true Americans. Trumpers and Magas agree with what ...
Lakemont Park has lost its meaning of being a park. It used to be a place to have a good time and a lot of fun. Riding all of the different amusement rides during a visit was what a good day at the park had been. There were places to buy a lot of park-based snacks. The most popular was candied apples.
