At a time of the year when most people are at home celebrating the holidays with their families, Republican lawmakers have been dying one after another.  Of course important people die all the time, but to have this many Republican politicians die so closely to one another is definitely unusual.  I believe that 2021 is going to be a very strange year, and it has definitely gotten off to a very strange start.

As the days move forward, let's watch and see if the pattern continues and more Republicans suddenly pass away.  For now, these are the deaths that we know about so far…
