    Midwestern Values: May We Never Lose Them0

    I spent nearly a week in June in the flyover part of the country – Topeka, Kansas, to be exact – and found it to be a refreshing change.

    Thanks, ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ for Reminding Us Why Inflation Matters0

    Marvel recently re-released the final film in its “Avengers” series with extra footage and a post-credit tribute in hopes of breaking the worldwide record for top-grossing movie of all time.
