And at the top of the lists for employment, the first of the firsts, should be our military vets...the men and women who have served this nation, the USA.

Unfortunately, too many are exempt from the restrictions in this bill. What started out as a noble attempt by Trump at building a locked steel door has turned into a screen door full of holes.

Tucker covered this last night. Evidently, the President watered it down because he was intimidated by the power of the corporate world, especially Apple. And, we thought our enemy was the virus!
