Many USA revealers say New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day at a time to celebrate the fresh start that a new day and year.

Just as this great nation came together after 9/11, come together after Trump's indicted for a 1/6 attempt to overthrow our government.

Most folks believe in The Big Bang theory when it comes to the origins of the cosmos. How can We The People be certain that the universe had a beginning, or when it will end and what about the future of American Democracy? Will registered voters cast their ballots and end this democratic experiment as we have grown to love and know it?
