We live in a red county, but in a ultra blue state. We received a phone call last night from someone not in our database saying their furnace wouldn't stay on longer than several minutes.

Hubby called them back, went over there and the first thing out of the late seventies couple was "I need to know your vax status." Hubby said I'm not vaxxed, I have natural immunity and...

Sen. Ted Cruz ripped the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wednesday, saying the agency had “destroyed their credibility” with their “absurd” recommendation that vaccinated people wear masks indoors in areas of “substantial” or “high” coronavirus transmission. “That’s not science. That’s politics. It’s pure politics,” the Texas Republican told Fox News’ “Hannity”. “You know what? Yesterday, vaccines worked. Today, they still work, but as a political matter, the Democrats decided they want to control your lives, they want everyone to wear a mask, and my view is real simple: We shouldn’t have federal government mandates on COVID.
