This article was sent to us by a wonderful blogger who lives in South Africa, and we thank her so much for news from the source of an action that Trump is hamming up exactly like the poor, pathetic actor he is on the world’s stage.

No Words

There are no words strong enough to describe those who are allowing starvation of Palestinians in Gaza and certainly no words terrible enough to describe the tyranny of a very dangerous and self-serving Netanyahu and no words for the fact that we should all be working to get our president impeached and stop him from destroying our democracy, our integrity...
