This is my private account. I am retired and doing a podcast. I have a nine month old who keeps me super busy, but I love it, she’s amazing. I’m an American living overseas. The Clint Initiative Podcast is my other account.

Obviously on a holiday weekend some sick people just need 600 kids or their holiday isn’t complete. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES. The same administration that first time around used child separation to torture families. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES. This has to stop Congress, do your job!

The head of the FBI, does more than pretend to be under the skirts, of the head of DHS. We will all find out in even worse ways, exactly what the FBI is no longer doing to keep us safe, personally not looking forward to it.

The fortunate thing is that the victims who are speaking are telling us all those things. They can even name names. So we have thousands of voices that can give us all the details in a way documents never will. Don’t just believe the victims, listen to them and learn, that’s what we all need to do

Guns are stolen everyday from people who are not irresponsible. Perhaps used for ill by a family member. If those guns aren’t there they can’t be stolen, or used by someone in the family. So to be clear. We have too many guns available to predators. The goal is to remove those guns.

Fewer guns on the streets is what we need. It’s not a trick to sincerely want fewer guns on the streets and to be frank, if someone wants to give up their gun, why not give them a way to legitimately get rid of it; so it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. Do you have a better idea?
