There were no surprises in the Wirt County election as Dan Metz’s dream of the Daniel Metz & Waymond F. Riley Memorial High School bond was soundly trounced. Calhoun’s results were pretty much as expected but nationally Dictator Xi, the Iranian mullahs, the red-green alliance that hates America, the Bush family, the McVains and the news media did a number on the nation. The CNN lady said, “We finally got him” and we can thank a do nothing Justice Department that answered to the deep state and RINO Sen. Thune who refused to make Congress implement the Trump agenda.

It was noted that in Alaska there is a 56% “non compliance” problem and large numbers in other states.
