The United States government estimates that approximately 500,000 soldiers in the Ukrainian and Russian militaries have been killed or wounded on the battlefield to date. Shockingly, the real numbers are surely dramatically higher as both nations are known to deliberately undercount their casualties.

The news came on and they reported that there are at least 400 dead in Maui and more likely upwards of 800-900 and that 40% of the dead are children. The given reason for the news blackout is that they are still trying to ID the bodies.

On Tuesday, Maui mayor Richard Bissen said just 25 per cent of...

When God decides Fox News and the rest of the evil influencers have done enough, hide...
