Hello fellow anglers, Christmas is right around the corner soon followed by New Year's Day. Time seems to get away from us throughout the year, but when Christmas comes we all start to think about family and friends we have had over the years.

James Smack says it can be quite difficult to have a conversation or state facts on public affairs television with today’s progressives of the Obama/Clinton/Sanders ilk. The statist liberal crowd is used to controlling media narratives, and they don’t brook dissent or facts and logic that undermine their control.
