Fox News Turns Full Propaganda With Trump Monument Proposal The hosts on this Fox News segment were practically salivating over the idea of changing one of our national monuments to incorporate Donald Trump.

Braun signs order removing degree requirements from some state jobs Indiana Gov. Mike Braun signs executive order to remove degree requirements for state jobs, emphasizing skills-based hiring practices.

A Delusional Nice Guy - Sheila Kennedy Indiana's outgoing Governor is Eric Holcomb. Holcomb has always seemed like a nice guy, and has mostly governed like a throwback to the time when Republicans were a political party and not a MAGA cult...

I love reading Sheila’s daily posts! Please take a look.
