It has become increasingly obvious that the Bicoastal and D.C “elites” despise Middle America. Unfortunately, they are now the policy makers for the whole country. President Biden seems obliged to appease the elites at the expense of the rest of the country. Biden has signed a record number of 37 executive orders in the first week in office. His inner circle of advisors no doubt wrote his executive orders, and they effectively dismantled the recent accomplishments of conservatives. So much for the claim Biden that he was going to be a mod...

At the same time, anxiety and other feelings of mental distress are on the rise.

If you live in the Alexander area of North Dakota, you've already heard of "Andrew's Small Engines". For those who have not, I was able to have a quick chat with Andrew related to his new business.

He and his wife moved to North Dakota, in 2018 after his wife had graduated from college, and he started in the oil field at the beginning of that same year....

Helena, MT area brothers Joshua Calvin Hughes and Jerod Wade Hughes, who turned them...
