So, how many booster shots has she had, and on what schedule? What variant of SARS-CoV-2 did Jill Biden contract?

When I heard that a deranged white man male, who hated black Americans, murdered three black people in a Dollar General store in Jacksonville, Florida, I pretty much expected the editorial response.

Linda Blackford, the longtime columnist for what my best friend used to call the Lexington Herald-Liberal hasn’t written about Jason Aldean’s hit “Try That In a Small Town,” but she is aghast that someone tried something stupid in a small town and it didn’t work out well: ‘Deeply traumatized.’ Arts retreat at Pine Mountain ends …
