Dear Lord-

There are moments in life that will test and try you, when doubt and fear will creep in. Lean on your faith and loved ones. And know that you're going to be alright. These words I humbly submit to you. Amen.

Good Morning Family. Let's Make It A Great Day.

It is not Biden's policy of siding with Israel. It has been the US policy to guarantee the sovereignty of Israel ever since Truman gave the go-ahead for the state. Now if you want to argue that policy should change then good luck with that argument

Biden/Harris did this.

If you don't understand why internet access is important, then look up the "digital divide."

Hell, think about poor kids who lost a year or more of learning during covid because of the lack of internet access.
