Rise Up Times is still active on social media under Rise Up Times on Pinterest, Tumbler, Instagram, Twitter (X) and Tik Tok, as well as on Facebook under Rise Up Times and also on my personal page Sue Ann Martinson.

WOLFF: I am not responsible for the conditions that we face as a nation today, but I am not going to sugar coat what the situation is. My guess is you already know it in your hearts and in the backs of your minds, if not in the front. And if you had any doubt, the last week’s election results probably removed them.

I do that because I think that’s a core part of our situation about which Americans are extraordinarily poorly informed.

Advantage: Biden, slightly
