I turned upside down with applauding the protests! Bravo, America. Yesterday, the streets of our beloved country, and other countries, were full of calm and positive protests. If our government does not understand what’s happening, it had better wise up. Little by little, we shall overcome…. Happy Sunday to all. Lovely in Rome and there are...

Well, wordless is what this article left mama and papa. Are we ALL out of our minds? In any other time in our history, this criminal/murderer, yes, murderer, would be behind bars.

I could have told mama those shoes were multi-colored!
