The Media Speaks — Volume I

By November 12, 2022No Comments

This “Volume I”  shares a series of news clips that span the first-day — November 9th, reaction to Tuesday’s November 8th election.  Final results aren’t in yet but in summary;  Democrats did amazingly better than pundits expected; Trump is really angry; the Republican Party is standing in a circle with their firing squad, and; Biden is happy.

My Rural America will share a similar summary focused on November 10th late day tomorrow.
