A few things we need to discuss! I was listening to an expert on electric vehicles on my car radio early Monday morning, he was comparing electric to gas powered cars. I did not get his name, but, he noted that with all the drawbacks of electric vehicles at this time, it will be some…

He told me that gas prices were going up and they did! Early last week I was told that I should fill my car up with gasoline because the price of a gallon of fuel is set to rise by up to seventy cents. This information came from a reliable source (some one that operates…

Still drugs on our streets! We are still facing drugs on our streets and deaths from those illegal drugs that have caused the deaths of some 9,512 Wisconsin citizens to overdoses in a seven-year period from2014-2021.

The Supreme Court—your feelings? The United States Supreme Court has been at the front of many news stories recently over their controversial rulings.
