Madness
I have spent an inordinate amount of time, missing a man, I never knew. A man whose talent was so wonderfully, beautifully human that if I were able to bring him back, just for awhile, and so that I spend that time in his company, I would happily forego many of the so-called pleasures of…

The rhetoric coming from mental defectives like trump and musk is so hysterical and ludicrous as to make it sound like the inflammatory statements at their rallies, – actually have some basis in reality. They don’t. If Kamala Harris is elected, America will be just…
