Republican Friends Please Read This
Dear Republican friends,
Before you vote, take a good hard look at your party. It doesn’t exist anymore. Today’s Democrat party is closer in values to the GOP you romanticize. Your Republican party has been usurped by a group of treasonous crooks who do not understand how to govern.
Please consider voting blue down the ballot. Send a message to your party that you want to return to your conservative values and do not support the MAGA extremism.
There is no Democrat versus Republican ballot. Republicans have been replaced with MAGA terrorists. Do not allow this to continue.

Mathopolis questions of the day
To keep myself mentally strong, I do Mathopolis’ Question of the Day from grade 1 through calculus. Often I surprise myself by missing the earlier grades. Usually it is because I rushed through it without reading the question or really thinking about the answer Today I missed the 6th grade question.
