“The changes wrought by death are in themselves so sharp and final, and so terrible and melancholy in their consequences, that the thing stands alone in man’s experience, and has no parallel upon earth. It outdoes all other accidents because it is the last of them. Sometimes it leaps suddenly upon its victims, like a Thug; sometimes it lays a regular siege and creeps upon their citadel during a score of years. And when the business is done, there is sore havoc made in other people’s lives, and a pin knocked out by which many subsidiary friendships hung together.”
–From Robert Louis Stevenson in “Aes Triplex.”.

As I watch you make fun of the newly installed Pope, using yet another cartoon in bad taste! Shows the world how low the democrats can go. After 4 years of failure, THIER message remains the same. HATE LIES & COVER UPS! Its all coming out now…. BIDENS presidency was a scam. Book after book, & the soon to be releast transcripts of Bidens testimony to the court. KA$H will uncover, who was really running the USA in the last year of Bidens disaster. And will expose all the bullshit, the jackass party does not want you to see. All their lies are dying, with the real truth! So as TRUMP continues to do what the American people elected him to do, FINNALLY the border is closed! Deportation is a reality. Unemployement is down, along with a economy ready to bust out! TRUMP,S tariffs are all benefiting the USA. A little pain, for a lifetime of gain, TRUMP told us every step of the way! He didnt hide in the basement… He,s on LIVE TV, explaining his ideas. Cleaning up the mess of his demented predicessor.Democrats, are now an embarrassment, no leader, no plan, only radical fools, & socialists hell bent on the killing of Capitalism!
