I may be older, but I’m educated, engaged and opinionated. I’ve been around the block a few times and not afraid to say what I think. My kids think I’m a rockstar so please don’t tell them I’m not!

They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I don’t believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.

It’s possible that he took a fall. His face also looks kinda blank, which could be a result of stroke.

I recall the press outrage about not getting clear statements and thorough documentation on Biden’s health. This practice apparently is no longer fashionable, even after being handed week old golf outing photos.

We just had a sighting of a Trump body double at his golf course. Barely looks like him! 😀

He’s too vain to have a body double. That’s bloated him alright on prednisone. He looks like crap. It’ll be interesting to see if he really plays golf or just is hanging out somewhere in the clubhouse to prove he’s not dead yet..

This week @merkley.senate.gov and I returned to Kfar Aza — a kibbutz brutally attacked by Hamas on Oct 7. We witnessed the evidence of the atrocities committed that day and saw the homes of two young men still held hostage. The message from a kibbutz leader: Bring them home and end the war.

Curious if you crossed over to Gaza to witness the devastation and the ongoing killing of non-Hamas Palestinians. What happened on Oct 7 was horrible, but there is no justification for what’s continuing to happening to innocent people in Gaza.
