A lilac bush near us is sprouting green leaves. Poor plants don’t know what season it is. Today it’s 21 degrees with the wind chill. Hope the poor thing gets to go back to sleep.

This and JD Vance's statement about 31 million "illegals" buying up all the houses are out and out insane. If these "illegals" are poor and destitute and using federal funds, how are they getting mortgages? And when's the last, or even FIRST, time you've seen an immigrant bring a cow with them?

What does it mean when you live in a "purple state"? If you're from NH, you vote Rep. for state and Dem. for federal, and then you watch your Dem. senators move over to the Rep. side and feel embarrassed.
