Better watch out and better not cry. Americans now learn who stomped on the US Constitution and told 30K lies. The Miranda Warning.

The GOP controlled US Senate should have barred Trump from holding office ever again. Instead, less than a year ago, the Republicans acquitted him. He is now threatening to attack our democracy once again.

The USA response to Russian aggression in Ukraine has angered the Kremlin so much that they’re publicly implying they’ll once again make Donald Trump president.

It’s beginning to look a lot like a blizzard, everywhere we go. Take a look at the five and ten, it's closed down once again…

With candy canes and silver lanes no go.

It's beginning to look a lot like 
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door

A pair of Hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that'll talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again
