Before the Big Beautiful Bill was signed into law on the… Continue reading Yes, President Trump’s cuts to the government are real and they are just the beginning
For a distance of over fifty yards on reasonably flat ground, our greyhound and our whippet tore across the lawn at well over forty miles per hour in a full-fledged race, almost neck and neck until the greyhound pulled ahead towards the end, despite having only three legs.
