You miss one paycheck already you can’t pay your bills?
****************************************************
They did NOT miss a paycheck. Coast Guard members are paid twice monthly and they received their January 1st payment. Their next payday is January 15th and it is unlikely tat won’t be paid timely.

Local leftist media searched until they found some whiners to advance their agendas.

Nancy Pelosi enjoyed her taxpayer paid vacation in Hawaii that cost us 10’s of thousands. Write a letter to her.
