THE EYE OF THE STORM Sunday morning at our house is a little like Dante’s Inferno. A great lament goes up among the children when they discover someone else has gone before them into the water chamber. In a few moments I will hear the hum of hair dryers and the shouts of, “Has anybody seen my brush?” I will hear a squeal of discovery, and then the one using the hair dryer will say, “I couldn’t find mine. Why can’t I use it? Come on, give it back!”

I know some of you are too young to even have heard these words (unless you heard your grandparents say them) but they are still fun to say, and for those of you who don’t know what some of these words or sayings mean ask your grandparents or a person older than 60!!

- ing Snicker's bar. He pointed out that his Snicker's bar purchase had fewer and fewer Snickers. I'm not exactly sure what a Snickers is, nuts, chocolate, sug - ar, the content of the bar. Size matters when you're hungry. It's just a bad thing when you stop at your local convenient store to buy a soda pop and you walk out with a Snicker's bar that cost more but has less in the wrapper. Apparent - ly, there are fewer Fritos and Cheetos in the bags as well. This is a sad time in America. I remember buying a large bottle of coke, a bag of chips and a pastry for 25 cents. Those were the days, but they are long past. It's an epidemic of course. It's not just candy bars and junk food. Check the size of your fast-food ham - burgers and the cost. You are paying more for less. A hundred dollars doesn't go very far at the grocery store. American families are having a difficult time putting food on the table. A mother who cooks for her family every day is having to stretch her budget more and more. President Biden says he is concerned about the problem, but it's been a growing problem for three years. It's not getting better, it's getting worse. When does he propose to fix the problem, after he is re - elected? Why not now? Why not over the past three years? People are hurting today. Promises of a bet - ter life if he is reelected are not reassuring to most Americans. The border crisis is our number one issue this elec - tion. It's not a priority with President Biden. He's had three years to be walking that border. He's had three years to stop the invasion of illegals and gang mem - bers into our country. His recent photo op to the border is too little too late. Joe Biden stopped the progress of the border wall. He opened the gates wide to the illegals. The results are not positive. We have major cities on the verge of economic collapse. Public schools, housing and more are suffering. Mayors are pleading for help. Recently, Biden submitted a Border Immigration Bill to Congress that has not been approved. The bill still allows for an average of 5000 people a day over seven days to come into the United States illegally before closing the border. Or, the one-day maximum number is 8,500 entries before the border is closed. This is a larger number of people than some of our rural counties in America. Over the course of a year this would amount to a city the size of Indianapolis or larger coming into our country. This is not border security, but only a continuation of Biden's insanity.
