Now before you come at me with a waste of words claiming I am a Trump supporter, save your fingers. I support the reasons why this country was formed. It was formed to stop this kind of bullsh1t no matter what party is using it.

Hunter had a gun when he was not allowed to own a gun. Nothing to dispute on this subject. Hunter was paid money for a job that he was not qualified for with the blessing of the Ukraine government after his dad had the Ukraine government fire a politician who was in the way of that happening. Hunter gave that money to his dad and the rest of his family with his dad's blessing. Nothing to dispute on this subject either. Brain dead Biden took classified government documents home when he was just a congressman which is against the law. He also took classified documents home when he was a VP and then a president. He stored these documents in his garage for all to see in front of his vette plus many other places. He shared these classified documents with a civilian who was writing a book for him, so he could make more money on your dime. Nothing to dispute on these facts either. On and on and on it goes. The crooked liberal DOJ gives him and all other liberals a free pass as they throw kitchen sinks at Trump to keep him from being elected. Nothing to dispute on these facts either. What can be disputed???? A voters RIGHT to vote for Braindead and any of his Liberal supporters when they know the above statements are pure facts. Is this voting process what you really want when it comes to electing the leaders that controls your life????? If you continue to vote for the known crooked, do you actually believe that things will change? What will you do if the crooked liberal DOJ comes after you with a kitchen sink that has your name on it? Do you have Trumps money, power and influence???? NOPE

Great, I am up to trying new places. Sounds great, and everyone has to make their own opinion. And that's how the cleaning should be done in every place. I love seeing that, not their cobwebs, and dust bunnies 😂. I would have to say a good cheese steak sub is my fave, but it's like pizza. If I'm gonna eat pizza I want gooood pizza. Every time we come back home we make sure we eat at Napoli 's first night...lol.

Jersey Mikes is located beside Sarveys in the DuBois Plaza. Taco Inc is on the boulevard beside The Hitching Post. Family went to DuBois Taco Inc, have not been in other locations, and everything we ordered was good. Chicken fajitas, cheese dip, chicken fingers and fries were all fresh, hot and good portions. We were leaving near closing time and I have never seen a staff that was so thorough in cleaning. Not just the tables, chairs and floors, but the walls, cooking areas, drink machines… The staff were on step ladders and the floors. Will eat there again.

We have a Jersey Mike's... definitely recommend the Big Kahuna. The biggest steak and cheese , loaded. Mike's famous Philly is good too . Where is this located?... Taco Inc. never tried. Where is it located? Coming home for a visit soon...I'm kinda interested....lol .
