Lady Bulldogs finish seventh among all in Class 3A
We’ve quickly gone from energy independence to gas shortages. From a secure southern border to a humanitarian crisis of biblical proportions. From Middle East peace to over 400 rockets being fired into Israel. From a resurgent economy to a disastrous jobs report. ***** President Biden said, “It’s vaxxed or masked” last week.

Maybe they can be called transvaxxites who choose to identify as a vaccinated person. They can even play the bigot card to those who don’t accept them for who they feel they are. Turnabout is what? ***** We really need to rethink the way we teach civics and constitutionality. We have rights...as of now.
