#Trump is an idiot and a traitor. Sadly he now has dementia and is being used by maniacal people around him.

US involvement in SE Asia starting in 1961. Wells had been a stringer reporter in Russia during the revolution for either AP or UPI. He became aware that his reports were being changed to fit US policy & sensibilities. He quit during WW I, came back to Bucks County, 3/4

Dad had Wells come for a week in 1966 to give public lectures at the church he served in Sandusky, Emmanuel United Church of Christ. Sanctuary was full for them all. Folks came from a distance. I was a subscriber from around 1970 to its end. This is what influenced Dad to oppose οΏΌ2/4

I’m a retired 77 yr old minister. The US church is worthless & on life support. Doesn’t matter if liberal, conservative, fundamentalist, mainline etc. we are a morally bankrupt country & have been since our founding. Church has been complicit.

Do not recognize any representative-elect who voted against certifying the electoral votes of the 2020 election. Don’t even seat them.
