WATCHING MIKE JOHNSON annointed SPEAKER (real time now)... 10/26.23 ... I feel like the ultimate OUTSIDER... not invited to this PARTY with 'insiders' to whom I contribute hard-earned tax $$$ year after year... going on fifty years now... Still HOPING these 'legislators' will do SOMETHING good for ALL of us. 🙏The worker bees. 🙏The outsiders. 🙏The uninvited. 🙏
🌿🙏 🌿HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL 🌿🙏🌿
