IMPRESSIONS The speech that would win the presidency for Trump

The message people would like to hear – but probably won't – from President Donald J. Trump. – Publisher Bill Tubbs

My Fellow Americans, Within the last week, Melania and I, and a number of our close associates and staff have been afflicted with the COVID-19 virus that has already touched more than 7 million in this country and claimed the lives of 210,000 of our fellow citizens. Melania is on the mend, and I am beginning to feel better now, thanks to the exceptional measures undertaken by the doctors at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, which is one of our nation's treasures – a place with the best medical knowledge and care. This experience has made me humble, and even more appreciative now than before of how pernicious the coronavirus is, and how vulnerable any person can be at any time. The doctors say that wearing masks is one of the best things we Mark Ridolfi of The North Scott Press takes a selfie on the new rec trail from Iowa can do to stop the spread of this virus.

I further apologize for my disrespectful tweets, and mocking my worthy opponent, Joe Biden, in last REC TRAIL Tuesday's debate, for his example of wearing a mask. I pledge to you, going forward, that I will not only wear a mask myself in order to lead by example, but I will use the power given to me by the presidency to expect Celebrate Eldridge's masks to be worn in all public venues at all times until we can claim victory over this virus. I further pledge obedience to the most commonly accepted practices of science, and to respect the authority of the best scientific minds in our great country, $1.3-million sanctuary including Dr. Anthony Fauci, and to restore the independence and integrity of ost of the money went for earth extension.

PETS IN TOWN Raising chickens in your back yard

Many folks nationwide have requested and received ordinances from city fathers permitting them to raise chickens in their back yards. For a monetary commitment, some work and adherence to some restrictions and requirements, those with chickens have access to fresh eggs to eat or sell and, if they wish, the occasional chicken dinner.
