Florida becomes first state to block welfare cash for tattoos, vapes and more. Trump administration urges states to follow Florida’s new first-in-the-nation welfare-spending limits. If you’re like me, you’d assume tattoos, theme park tickets, video games, and vaping products are not generally considered “basic needs,” yet these are purchased using welfare dollars everybody’s taxes are payin’ for.

Eugene, Oregon: Written by Dolly Parton in 1972 and released in 2009. In 1972, I was stationed at Machinato Army Depot in Okinawa, rebuidin’ generators to be shipped back to Vietnam. In what might be a surprise to anyone who’s followed my reporting on the antics of Hippieville, the mayor of Eugene 1969-1977 was Les Anderson, a REPUBLICAN. After Dolly’s performance at the Lane County Fairgrounds that year, she received her first standing ovation from a crowd of 1,500 people. 1,500 country music fans who had the common sense to elect Les Anderson as their mayor – not once but TWICE.

DeSpain warns against Eugene 2% business tax. I’m sure you remember the story about the kid who told the truth and said: “The emperor has no clothes?” This is such a moment. Monique’s the commonsense kid, and Democrats are the emperor. If you can’t vote for her and common sense on the 3rd of November, maybe you should just go fishin’ that day.
