Mary Gay’s Year: The Case Against MAGA

  John, if you’re like me, you’re starting the new year reflecting on the last one. Not to mention breaking a holiday sugar addiction, but that’s another story. Today I’m cleaning my files and looking back over Mary Gay’s clips in the news, and all I keep thinking is, “Holy c…
