    Why do they call them hushpuppies? Do you toss them to a barking dog; and it gets quiet?

    navigated and survived the worst recession and the huge wall street and bank scandals.
    Real estate prices are steady and growing again
    He would have made huge strides in improving infrastructure had his opposition gotten on board
    he did something none of us have done - rose from the bottom of politics to the top - how many of us can say that?
    Say what you will - He is a brilliant human being
    I will offer Mr. Trump the same praise if he can earn it after his term in office.

    2. House brings back the Holman rule allowing them to reduce an individual civil service, SES positions, or political appointee's salary to $1, effectively firing them by amendment to any piece of legislation. We now know why they wanted names and positions of people in Energy and State.
    3. Senate schedules 6 simultaneous hearings on cabinet nominees and triple-books those hearings with Trump's first press conference in months and an ACA budget vote, effectively preventing any concentrated coverage or protest.
    4. House GOP expressly forbids the Congressional Budget Office from reporting or tracking ANY costs related to the repeal of the ACA.
    5. Trump continues to throw the intelligence community under the bus to protect Putin, despite the growing mountain of evidence that the Russians deliberately interfered in our election.
    6. Trump breaks a central campaign promise to make Mexico pay for the wall by asking Congress (in other words, us, the taxpayers) to pay for it.
    7. Trump threatens Toyota over a new plant that was never coming to the US nor will take jobs out of the US.
    8. House passes the REINS act, giving them veto power over any rules enacted by any federal agency or department--for example, FDA or EPA bans a drug or pesticide, Congress can overrule based on lobbyists not science. Don't like that endangered species designation, Congress kills it.
    9. Fired top administrators of the National Nuclear Safety Agency. There are no replacements named, and they'd need Senate confirmation anyway. Those two managed our active arsenal of nuclear weapons.
    Each of these was fact checked - your welcome to fact check again - in fact I encourage it as long as FOX news is not your fact based source.

    In North Carolina it is

    1-Beer
    2-Grease
    3-Bar-B-Que

    In that order of importance.
