Yesterday was the 70 year anniversary of 14 year old Emmett Till's death. I don't think people realize how recent that actually is. That was within my dad's lifetime. Within the current president's lifetime. It's not ancient past.

I must speak my mind. America can fully support Netanyahu’s decimation of Gaza but can’t give Ukraine any support against Putin. What is wrong with this country? If I offend anybody, sorry but this is honestly how I feel at this point.

Throughout the history of American democracy, the Supreme Court has served as the guardian of the Constitution & the protector of the balance of powers. Since its establishment in 1789, the Supreme Court has played a pivotal role in preventing abuses of power. That Supreme Court no longer exists.

What’s the point? All the senate panel does is put a contentious performance and continue being useless as usual. Remember they held the power not to confirm this screwball but did it anyway to appease Trump.

Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...

Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have “stayed and fought”, With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr. He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3

My belief is Trump made a deal with Putin to intensify his attack on Ukraine in efforts to gain more territory. Trump can’t be trusted. Maybe Putin promised him something because he quickly backed off his tough talk.
