Alma Womack: Missives From Tupelo Brake
I called my congress critter, Julia Letlow’s, office today to find out if she was supporting McCarthy and his bid to pass another CR without making any needed changes, or if she was supporting Matt Gaetz and the congressmen fighting for fiscal sanity.

Remember You Haters! Calling Them ‘Groomers’ and Saying That ‘They’re Coming After Our Kids’ is Sexist, Homophobic, Transphobic and Just Plain False and Mean!
There are times I think that I’ve written on the subject of ‘transgenderism’ too frequently, but it keeps coming up in the news. I wouldn’t care if Jack wanted to call himself Jill, if the ‘transgendered’ weren’t trying to use the power of the state to force other people to go along with their delusions. …
