Well, I’m praying that’s all we can really do besides what we’re all already doing, and trying to get the word out.
I’ve also been remember that great quote - “We have nothing to fear, but fear itself.” ;) Ultimately there are way more of us than there are of those who wish to destroy our country.
Yep, that’s in the back of my mind as well...
GOD IS GOD AND ALWAYS WILL BE GOD.
THAT MAKES
ALL
THE DIFFERENCE.
He’s full of it. 55 trillion in trading affected by one. Try again Vladimir.
That’s right because you, Lilliputin, never do anything like lie or bully other countries.
