Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?
If you’re smarter than a 5th grader, you realize that the radical Left is trying to brainwash the world into believing January 6th was similar to 9/11 or Pearl Harbor. Absurd.

I am an elementary teacher in North Carolina. I recently watched a former teacher friend on Facebook doing a live broadcast about having a side gig and doing something that you love and are passionate about.

It has been a dream of mine for a very long time and there is no time like the present for me to go after this goal of mine. I reached out to my former teacher friend, and she passed your information off to me.

We all get the exact same 365 days. The only difference is what we do them. — Hillary DePiano, playwright
I saw the above quote in a magazine I read today. I love the quote, because it’s such a great reminder for the new year. We all have the same amount of time. It’s just a matter of how well we use our time.

In marketing your books, don’t worry about the way things have been done in the past.
Don’t worry about the rules. Don’t worry about the obstacles. Don’t worry about the naysayers.

When you vote next month, be wary of the stated and often acted-upon Biden Pelosi Democrat agenda items. Here are just a few of the Democrat agenda items that you might not be aware of.
The following ten issues have already passed the House of Representatives. It would be a very small effort to reintroduce all of these bills and pass them without any discussion.
