It started to turn around just 6 months before the US finally decided to enter the war. My father did not hate Germans. He hated NAZIs, as do I

You can do it now, with passive and active resistance, or you can wait until you require live weapons. Decide. If you wait, you lose.

That is how you do healthcare for WAY less money than US workers and companies pay. Change it. Throw out the politicians that resist. They have fully paid public health care.
Lutnick on Epstein:
Devine: So how come these other people could hang around him and not see it?
Lutnick: They participated. That's what his M.O. was, "Get a massage" And what happened in that massage room, I assume is on video. This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever. That's how he had money.
I suspect Lutnick is about to have an unfortunate accident. ๐ฌ
