The bigger picture behind the Washington chess game

I have been following the Opinion articles in the Kingsland Current by Congressman Mike Conaway and Senator John Cornyn, our representatives in this part of Texas. I have some reflections I want to share.

As a Freelance Writer and avid Researcher, I watch the bigger picture. My friends call me a "walking Library." It has given me a unique perspective to recognize someone "peeing on my boots and telling me it is raining."
