Did you watch the President’s first news conference?

Ted Cruz: “What happens after every mass shooting is Democrats propose taking away guns from law-abiding citizens.”

An oft-failed promoter recently predicted stock market disaster if Biden won . . . yet somehow the market keeps hitting new highs. The Dow is up about 14% since the election.
