11. Unfortunately, that is the world we live in
Sat Jun 6, 2026, 08:42 PM
Saturday

WW2 vets sacrificed so we can live in a safe democracy……but we don’t. The rich buy islands, build bunkers, and erect extreme security defenses. The average American is gunned down in the streets by federal thugs while kids live in fear of being massacred at school. The focus of our government’s priorities needs to change…..NOW!

Peace ☮️
