Folks, our ATM is down until at least tomorrow, please do not complain to our bar tenders that you aren’t getting served quick enough or that they aren’t moving quick enough to pay out your tickets. This is an inconvenience that will hopefully be rectified by Monday. Thanks, Barry

🚨 Action Alert

They said they wouldn't cut veterans' benefits.

The Take Care of America's Veterans Act does exactly that.

$57 billion. 1.5 million veterans. Tinnitus. Sleep apnea. Conditions earned in combat. Stripped from future veterans to pay for other veterans' benefits.

VFW National Commander Carol Whitmore: "A grateful nation pays its debts to veterans; it does not send them the invoice."

This community has a code. We don't eat our own.
