Just as they did years ago when they answered the call to serve our country in the various branches of our US military, local northern Grafton County veterans answered the call again, but this time, by accepting an invitation, and attending an event by the students and school staff as recipients of a “Thank You Tribute to our Veterans.”
The vets were honored as part of the schools “We Salute Our Veterans” in the school auditorium.
In-coming Principal, Amy Kopp, along with SAU 35 Superintendent, Kate Segal, welcomed all for this first-of-a-kind event at Lafayette, held on Monday, November 13, 2023. I know I’ve never witnessed this event at this school in the 20 years I’ve lived here.
Many thanks are being extended to the classroom teachers, classroom paras and subs, the multi-talented librarian, the gracious music teacher, the “Coast Guard vet” custodian, the school secretary and office staff, and the cafeteria chef who is also a vet! It seems from the outcome of this marvelous display of gratitude and patriotism by the students and staff… all involved devoted much time and effort in making this tribute such a warm, wonderful, and meaningful event, not only for the vets, but more importantly, for the impressionable, young students.
It was refreshing to see the entire student body stand, place their hands over the hearts, and recite The Pledge of Allegiance to our American Flag. Great job, kids!!
One could tell that the music teacher spent considerable time leading the Lafayette School Chorus in singing a Thank You Tribute entitled “The Brave” written by John Riggio. Another wonderful expression of Thank You to the vets was played by the Lafayette School Band, and led by the same music teacher. The selections which were played included “When the Saints Go Marching In” and “Ode to Joy/Conquest,” which went off without a hitch! Who knows…someday, these same students may be playing in the US Army Band, or the US Navy Band, or the US Air Force Band? And, to think, it may have all started here in little Franconia Elementary.
“Thank You” letters, written by the students themselves, and read to the assembled audience via a microphone, promoted some self-confidence in these students! Maybe, a Presidential candidate will someday spawn from that courageous reading!?
The final “Thank You” by the kids to the vets was a memorable march around the auditorium with the kids waving and shouting “Thank You” to the vets.
All in all, this “Thank You Salute” by the students and staff of Lafayette Elementary School left this vet with the view that there is still hope for the kind of America envisioned by our Founding Fathers centuries ago.
The students’ display of patriotism should be a model for other New Hampshire school boards and town boards to emulate.

| Colin Kaepernick would be proud of the way some New Hampshire area local boards open their monthly meetings …by choosing “No!” to saluting our American Flag before their monthly meetings. As if on cue from the NFL, our area local boards are “taking a knee” right under our noses! Since attending some of these local area board meetings (town & school) in the last few months, I’ve learned that all but one of the SAU 35 White Mountain School Boards have chosen NOT to say the 10-second Pledge to our Flag! Why would they choose to do this to words which unify our citizens, which assimilate newcomers to our culture and way of life, which honor members of the community-at-large whom these board members represent, such as the infirmed, the elderly, the taxpayers, the parents, the veterans, the businesses, and the children for whom they should be setting an example? Shouldn’t these board members show some gratitude to the hard-working taxpayers whose American “greenbacks,” whether in the form of local tax dollars or in the form of federal grant monies, pay for many, if not all, of the facilities, heat, salaries, books, programs, transportation, lunches, after-school programs, field trips, sports programs, computers & technology, pensions, and other necessary items like electricity which make these schools function? We also pay for the SAU building which comprises many additional departments, equipment, and personnel. One very important historical event that occurred in America during its formation as to why these local New Hampshire town and school boards, as well as state boards, should be saluting our American flag before their monthly meetings goes back to June 21, 1788 when the independent state of New Hampshire was THE crucial and all-important state who cast the 9th vote (2/3 vote needed by the 13 states) to ratify the Constitution, thus creating the newly-formed “United States of America.” We created this new Constitutional Republic and the new symbol of the “red, white, and blue.” How can we create a new country with a new symbol, and then refuse to honor it every chance we get? It’s like creating a child, and then abandoning it! Some of these boards don’t even display our American flag to its rightful place of honor during public meetings. I guess selectboard members, planning board members, school board members, and other officials were never Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts, or perhaps never served in the military. Some boards have our American flag up on a wall hidden from view by a pile of boxes, while others place our American flag in the alcove near the bathroom door, hidden dastardly from public view. There’s a whole book dedicated to proper placement of our American flag whether it be displayed at local public meetings, on a street, from a building, with foreign flags, on one’s door post, on one’s porch, over a door, when to fly it at half-staff, when to fly it at full-staff, how long to fly it on holidays (Veterans’ Day = full staff all day; Memorial Day – half-staff until noon only, and then raised to full-staff). A Fifth-Grade teacher had a wonderful reason why his students should always salute our American flag…”see those 50 stars,” he would explain. “They represent millions and millions of other Americans whom you never get to see or meet personally. Saluting our flag is a way of saying, ‘Hello!’ to each of them every day!” Nick De Mayo, Sugar Hill, NH |
In the Sept. 2nd edition of The White Mountain Record, Littleton Select Board member and NH District 1 State Senator, The Honorable Carrie Gendreau, voiced her concern over transgender/diversity artwork being displayed on Jing Fong’s building on Jackson Street in Littleton. The artwork is being sponsored by NOCO Mural Project and North Country Pride. In addition to others, Becky Colpitts, outreach community coordinator for The Littleton Food Coop Market, who is representing Granite United Way, provided the grant money to pay for the mural.
Senator Gendreau has been receiving many “anti-Carrie” letters in The Record’s LTE section for sharing her views on the matter, especially because of her official titles. In my opinion, she has the courage, and the duty to speak for all of us who are stakeholders in our northern Grafton/Coos communities (NH State Senate District 1), which she represents. Senator Gendreau speaks for those stakeholders who are afraid to speak out due to personal retribution. She speaks out for those who are afraid for their own personal safety. Senator Gendreau is focusing attention on this issue to help stop this “Liberal-Progressive-Socialist-Communist Bully-ism” toward a segment of the area’s silent residents. This “wicked tongue-lashing” of a good woman, a good Conservative public servant, and an experienced legislator is deplorable! Definitely, a political attack, as well! She and the NH Senate have been there for us in legislating common-sense issues like: school choice, lower taxes, anti-recreational-cannabis-use legalization, and securing our NH borders from invasion by illegal migrants as well as many other Conservative pieces of legislation.
These attacks on Senator Gendreau’s integrity are being waged by the same people who supported Edith Tucker (“I never supported an income tax!”) for NH District 1 State Senate seat now proudly held by Senator Gendreau! Thank God, Carrie beat her. Just imagine where we, in NH, would be today, if Edith Tucker won?
One irate opponent criticizes Senator Gendreau while he holds an elected, public position as Moderator of the Profile School Board! What a hypocrite! Who’s “calling the kettle black,” Mr. “Let’s-Legalize-Recreational-Cannabis”! His comments seem very suspicious….perhaps he’s positioning himself for a State Senate run after losing another run for Representative?!
In reading following editions of The White Mountain Record, you’ll notice some other frequent, slobbering “Liberal-Progressive-Socialist-Communist,” anti-Conservative voices from the surrounding towns of Bethlehem, Easton, and Sugar Hill whose efforts re: this matter seem well-coordinated to promote this act of “Liberal-Progressive-Socialist-Communist Bully-ism” of silent, Conservative, Christian area voters and taxpayers. Or, am I just acting as a “conspiracy-theorist”?
Senator Gendreau has been there for us. It’s our turn to be there for her!
The Northern Grafton County Republican Committee (NGCRC) which serves the northern Grafton towns of Bath, Bethlehem, Easton, Franconia, Landaff, Lisbon, Littleton, Lyman, Monroe and Sugar Hill is hosting three guest speakers at our next monthly meeting on Tuesday, September 12, 2023 at 6:00 pm at the Littleton Senior Center, 77 Riverglen Lane, Littleton, NH 03561.

Second speaker is: Mindi Mayhew, Regional Field Director for Ron DeSantis’s “Never Back Down Campaign” who will be speaking on behalf of the Presidential campaign of FL Governor, Ron DeSantis.
Third speaker is: Amy Badurina, Regional Field Director of the Vivek Ramaswamy Presidential Campaign, and who will be speaking on behalf of the Vivek Ramaswamy GOP Primary campaign.
Additionally, we hope to have NH District 1 Representative, The Honorable David Rochefort and NH State Senator, District 1, The Honorable Carrie Gendreau speak about up-coming legislation.
All Republicans and like-minded Conservatives are welcome to attend.
Yours in The Cause to elect Republicans and keep New Hampshire RED!

ABNER DOUBLEDAY invented baseball, and is “the father of baseball.” Walter Camp created football while James Naismith invented basketball. All are honored for their accomplishments. The Scandinavians introduced skiing to the world while Greece created the original Olympic games. Both are so honored.
Honoring “firsts” seems to be a worldwide custom as well it should be. Why is it that Joe Biden forgot this practice?
We honor George Washington as “the father of our country” because he is the first president of the United States.
So, too, with Neil Armstrong as “the first man on the moon.” The Wright Brothers, history tells us, are the first men to invent, build, and fly the first successful motorized airplane. Henry Ford is forever remembered for inventing the automobile assembly line, and thus creating millions of affordable automobiles. Let’s not forget Thomas Edison who invented early versions of the electric light bulb, phonograph, and motion picture camera. These individuals are forever honored for their unique accomplishments “bettering the world.” Where would we be without Alexander Graham Bell’s important invention of the telephone? The list goes on. We honor Jackie Robinson for the courage he demonstrated in becoming the first African-American to break the baseball color line. Tom Brady is honored as the G.O.A.T. for his accomplishments in football.
What about a group of voters of a particular state who voted in a timely manner to create a constitutional, republican government for the people of the 13 independent states? These voters, by voting when they did, allowed the creation of one, united country, namely, the “United States of America,” from the 13 separate, individual entities, or 13 “independent states” that they had become after the War for Independence from Great Britain on April 15, 1783.
According to those rules of governance (unification/agreement) that our Founders created, nine (2/3) of those independent states had to consent to join together to form one union under a new constitution (agreement) in order to dissolve the old, weak agreement known as “The Articles of Confederation.” So, nine out of 13 were needed to dissolve the old agreement, and create this new agreement of unification (the U.S. Constitution).
The independent state of New Hampshire was that ninth vote, which thus allowed creation of this new country. Due to this vote by the New Hampshire delegation, the idea of the United States of America was born!
The new country adopted the new name the United States of America. This important and timely vote occurred on Sept. 21, 1788. Under Article VII of the 1787 U.S. Constitution stated that once nine states had ratified (voted in favor of), it would become “sufficient for the establishment of this Constitution” between the 13 states so ratifying the same. “Ultimately, New Hampshire achieved the honor on June 21, 1788, putting the U.S .Constitution into effect. A new nation was born!
All Americans and both political parties should honor New Hampshire for this “first,” of ratifying this new constitution, and thus, creating a new country. Granting New Hampshire the privilege of holding the “First-in-the-Nation-Primary’”(FITN) every four years is an honor rightfully deserved!
James McKim, president of the Manchester, NH-NAACP agrees. Speaking on WMUR’s “Close Up” (Sunday, Jan. 22, 2023), he stated “…FITN shouldn’t be on race. Other factors need to be included.”
In a commendable show of bipartisanship, state Democrat leader in Concord, Donna Soucy of Manchester, supports the Granite State’s FITN position.
New Hampshire’s two U.S. Democrat senators, Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan, slammed President Biden’s proposal to put South Carolina ahead of the Granite State on the Democrat Party’s presidential primary calendar “misguided” and “short-sighted.” Further, Shaheen quipped, “It’s tremendously disappointing that the President failed to understand the unique role that New Hampshire plays in our candidate selection process as the first Primary state.” (New York Post, Dec. 2, 2022).
I think President Biden, due to his discernable, cognitive disabilities, has forgotten U.S. history with this ludicrous presidential proposal to end New Hampshire’s 104-year status as the state to lead off the nation’s electoral process.
In the words of Governor Chris Sununu, “But I have a message for them (DNC Primary Committee) and President Biden – you can try to come and take it – but that is never going to happen. It’s just not in our DNA to take orders from Washington. We will not be blackmailed. We will not be threatened, and we will not give up. You see the New Hampshire Primary has stood the test of time, giving everyone a fair shot.”

Who doesn’t like a parade?!!!! A parade is great FUN!!! I’m sure you remember the excitement and exhilaration you felt when you saw your first parade? Imagine that same excitement and exhilaration you will feel by being an actual participant in a parade with everybody waving to you, smiling at you, giving you such positive and welcoming shouts!! It is great FUN!!!
The NGCRC has voted to participate in 2 area parades in July like we did last year…the Woodsville Parade on Monday, July 4th and the Franconia Old Home Days (Booth & Parade) on Saturday, July 9th. Both are very short distances, but the streets we travel are filled with hundreds and hundreds of voters!!
Don’t let the Deleterious Democrats out-number us!!
These parades are opportunities to BRING US TOGETHER…. to further proclaim our CAUSE (election of Republicans to local, county, state, and national office).
Further, these parades showcase our presence to the general public which helps further enhance our membership numbers. Additionally, it shines a “light” on the ‘closet Republicans’ and like-minded Conservatives who are afraid to “come out.”
We need our NGCRC Members & Friends to participate in one, or the other parade, or both.
Please let NGCRC Vice Chairwoman Janice Novak (603) 823-5011, or janicenovak@myfairpoint.net know in which one you will participate, and, if you will drive a vehicle.
Candidates can be part of our group by driving a vehicle (vehicles should be decorated in a Patriotic manner, or the theme of the parade!) ,or walking, thus allowing all voters see the candidate. Carry your yard signs, banners, etc.
The theme of the Woodsville 4th of July Parade is: Sights and Sounds of the USA; while the theme of the Franconia Old Home Days Parade is: Luau.
Woodsville 4th of July Parade Monday, July 4th details: starts at: Woodsville Elementary School (across from Shiloh’s Restaurant); line up: 10:00 am; start: 11:00am; parade route Main Street through Woodsville to Wells River, VT (over the bridge).
Franconia Old Home Days Parade & Booth (we need somebody to “man” “woman” the booth while we leave to line up for the parade) next to Abbey Greenleaf Library; set-up: 9:00 am; parade line-up: 11:00 am. Parade route through Franconia.
Yours in The Cause to elect Republicans,
and Keep New Hampshire RED!
Dear NGCRC Member,
Just a brief reminder that we will be hosting another NGCRC- first-ever-event, “Gubernatorial Presentation” of the two GOP Primary candidates, Thad Riley and Karen Testerman at our up-coming NGCRC Meeting, Monday night, April 11, 2022 at the Littleton Elks Lodge, #1831, 42 Main St., Rte. 302, Bethlehem, NH. Our Social ½ Hour begins at 6:00 pm, and our main event starts promptly at 6:30 pm after our customary Opening Exercises. Unfortunately, Governor Sununu has a scheduling conflict, and won’t be present.
This is part of our mission to INFORM AND EDUCATE as well as to ELECT REPUBLICANS TO LOCAL, COUNTY, STATE, AND NATIONAL OFFICE.
Each candidate will give a 3-minute introductory presentation, and then answer random questions from the floor, namely from you on an alternating basis. Each candidate will have 1-minute to answer individual questions. Candidate responses will be timed, and each candidate will be alerted (by a bell) with a 2 ½ minute warning, and a 3-minute cut-off for their introduction. Each candidate will be alerted (by a bell) at 1/2 -minute warning, and, similarly at 1-minute for the cut-off their individual responses. I anticipate inviting questions for each candidate from you, the voter and taxpayer, on a rotational basis so no one candidate gets ”dumped upon” with all the questions going to one candidate only.
You may think the times allotted are short, but this format will help each candidate to be succinct thereby allowing us to cover many categories of questions. It will also be good practice for all three GOP Primary contests, in which the next two contests contain 6 and 7 candidates, respectively.
There are many issues facing the New Hampshire voter (you) in the up-coming November election. For example, legalization of “pot,” abortion, taxes, voter integrity, mask mandates, rising gas prices, “Green energy,” open meetings/ZOOM meetings, health benefits, CRT, Second Amendment Rights and the right to keep and bear arms, cluster housing and zoning, immigration, First Amendment rights, and the list goes on and on. THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO ASK YOUR QUESTIONS & HAVE YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED! IF YOU DON’T SPEAK UP NOW, DON’T COMPLAIN LATER!! Please do your homework, and come prepared to ask questions!
With permission from the Elks Lodge management, I have invited each candidate to put up their lawn signs on the Elks property which is to be removed by the candidate or candidate’s staff immediately after this presentation. Also, candidates may place their political literature on tables in the corridor leading to our meeting room.
The NGCRC will be conducting similar presentations for the GOP Primary Senate candidates on Monday, May 9th and similarly GOP Primary Congressional candidates on Monday, June 13th.
Hope to see you tomorrow night, Monday, April 11, 2022 for this important demonstration of democracy!
Yours in The Cause to elect Republicans,
and Keep New Hampshire RED!

Boycott Nancy Pelosi’s NAPA Valley vineyards by boycotting NAPA Valley wines!
For those of you old enough to remember the cause leading up to World War II, you will remember it was the “blitzkrieg war” invasion of Poland by Hitler on September 1, 1939.
For those of you not old enough to know, or those who slept through history classes, let me give you a brief account of the underlying documented situations which led up to the sudden and unprovoked invasion of Poland on that September morning in 1939.
It was “appeasement” on the part of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and the leaders of France and Italy. Some grade school kids may recognize this as situations like “Give me your lunch money, kid, and I promise I (bully kid!) won’t bother you anymore,”… only to have the same or similar situations go on and on with greater catastrophes!
With countries, “appeasement” is a diplomatic policy of granting political, material, or territorial concessions to an aggressive power (bully!) in order to avoid conflict (repercussions on a “weaker nation!). Such is the current situation between Russia (bully!) and Ukraine (“little kid being picked on”!).
The Munich Agreement of Sept. 30, 1938 was supposed to prevent Hitler and the Nazi War Machine from any incursion into Czechoslovakia if Czechoslovakia “gave up” the Sudentenland region to Germany. The Sudentenland is an area where more than 3 million people, mainly ethnic Germans, lived. The Sudentenland had been recognized as a natural border between the Czech and the German states since the early Middle Ages. It provided a natural obstacle from any possible German attack. The Sudentland was of absolute strategic importance to Czechoslovakia!
Germany had started a “low intensity” (“minor incursion” where have we heard that phrase, recently?!) of Czechoslovakia on Sept. 17, 1938. Great Britain and France, which had “alliances,” or “security pacts” with Czechoslovakia, did an “about-face” on those agreements, and formally asked Czechoslovakia to “give up” its territory to Hitler which was followed by Poland (Sept. 21, 1938) and Hungary (Sept. 22, 1938) subsequently giving up some of their territory, also.
The Munich Agreement of Sept. 29-30, 1938 was quickly and peacefully reached on Hitler’s terms, and signed by the Fascist and Nazi leaders of Italy and Germany and the leaders of Great Britain and France. British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, claimed that this agreement promoted “peace for our time” on Sept. 30, 1938. Hitler invaded Poland less than a year later on Sept. 1, 1939 in a “blitzkrieg-type-war” or “lightning war” which culminated 35 days later (Sept. 1, 1939 – Oct. 6, 1939) with the surrender of Poland. Great Britain and France immediately declared war on Germany starting World War II.
The Munich Agreement of Sept., 1938 is widely regarded as a failed act of appeasement, and has become a byword for the futility of appeasing expansionist totalitarian states.
To those living in some countries of Eastern Europe, the Munich Agreement of 1938 has become known as The Munich Betrayal because it allowed Germany and the Third Reich to quickly and peacefully take over Czechoslovakia’s borderlands. It was supposed to be Hitler’s last territorial claim in Europe in order to promote peace. As you can see, this didn’t stop Hitler’s appetite for more territory and greater power. It just delayed the inevitable!
Today, nearly a century later, we have a “bully” in Russia under the reign of Putin. He has slowly and steadily regained control of former Soviet states which claimed their independence after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the breakup of the former Soviet Union. Left unchecked, he will gobble up Eastern Europe, and create another Russian Empire! Former President Ronald Reagan and former Pope John Paul, II must be turning in their graves! Former members of the Polish Solidarity Union must be trembling! These three were the key players in crumbling the walls of the former Soviet Empire!
While Putin may become the Hitler of the 21st century, Biden is certainly the Neville Chamberlain of the 21st Century by his appeasement to Putin of the Nord Stream Pipeline (a natural gas pipeline under the Baltic Sea providing Germany and all of Europe with Russian natural gas, thus enriching Putin with enough money to wage war upon his neighbors as Hitler did less than a century ago!) and not reinforcing our NATO Allies with American military might sooner.
Let’s hope and pray history doesn’t repeat itself!

Let’s stop blaming everything on COVID! True, it was the start of things going wrong…people dying, loss of jobs, mask mandates, etc. Thank you, China. Then, Joe Biden came into office.
Look at what is going on. We are being overrun by illegal immigrants. Our borders have been eliminated. The drug cartels are getting richer by the minute, and the drugs here in America have exploded with thousands upon thousands of drug deaths.
Let the immigrants come, however, but let them come LEGALLY! We have enough drug problems, money problems, and stealing and killings, now. Do we need more?
You can say what you want, and you can ignore the problems by “burying your head in the sand,” but it is here! Do we want Socialism? NO! Let’s all get together, and fight this. I know many of you did not like President Donald Trump. However, he DID the job. He loves America!!
Democrats and Republicans look around. Is what President Biden doing OK? His approval rating is 28%!
We NEED TERM LIMITS! Should we continue to give these career politicians all that power? Take Nancy Pelosi, for example, she is a dedicated dictator by being in power for almost 50 years! They make so much money in politics, and then we give them, or should I say, they TAKE a great benefits package – for the rest of their lives!
Republicans should wake up! You say you are upset about what is going on, and then do nothing. In the next election, we need to get rid of the RINO’s! They are NO help to the Republican Party!
Democrats should wake up. Look around you. The stores are empty. No one is stocking the shelves in many of our stores. Many restaurants need servers, and good, experienced professionals as nurses, police, fire, and teachers are quitting because we are giving lots of money at the start of the COVID epidemic, and it’s still going on now! FREE everything! STOP IT!
Why are the Democrats allowing a President (in name only!) to run the country who is incapable of running it by himself! So, who is really “pulling the strings”? It’s all done “behind closed doors”! The Vice President isn’t any better with an approval rating LOWER than the President’s! In addition, many of her staff members are leaving her staff. All she does is laugh at what is going on. Where is she, anyway?
It is sad that the Republicans and the Democrats cannot civilly debate the issues, clearly and understandably so we can all grasp the issues and their positions….for the BETTERMENT of our great country! The Democrats have closed minds. They just don’t want to debate. As Dr. Phil says, “How’s that working for you?!”
The drug cartels have taken over. They are getting extremely rich with open borders. Drugs are destroying our youth! Look around you. We now have a country of Zombies! All they do is sit around, shoot up, and get high.
There are some good Democrats in office who need to speak up, and stop being puppets! Otherwise, we can say “Good-bye” to the country that we have all known. I cannot believe that the Democrats, as smart as they think they are, can really approve of what is going on. Wake up, Democrats!
Why are we thinking of giving illegals $450,000.00 per child of our tax money? I know many Americans who could use that money, themselves, to pay for their sky-high heating bills this winter. That scares me!
President Biden is thinking of shutting down another pipeline. Is this crazy, or what? America has vast reserves of oil, coal (2nd only to China!), and natural gas, and we are begging Saudi Arabia and Russia to pump more oil in order to lower gas prices. Does that make sense? Last year, we were energy independent; now we are begging for help. Democrats are in lock-step with the Biden Administration on this, and many issues. Why? Aren’t they independent thinkers?
We have young people going into stores, stealing whatever they want, and all the owners can do is watch it happen. What are we doing? “Defund the police” has taken over, and the police officers’ hands are tied instead of trying to protect the people they swore an oath to serve. If they try to arrest someone for breaking the law, they are told they are racists, and the criminals are allowed to go free. Take the guy who drove into the Christmas parade marchers in Wisconsin. If his bail were set higher, he wouldn’t have been able to drive through that parade, killing all those innocent people.
California used to be a beautiful state. The governor is incapable of running it. He is one of the Elite, and has shown his people he can do whatever he wants. Who would want to visit California these days? All you see on the streets are tents, drugs, needles everywhere, feces, urination, and pan-handling. The homeless have taken over, and are allowed to do whatever they want. No wonder people are leaving California in droves to re-settle in other states!
The protestors don’t want to just protest. All they want to do is burn the American flag, destroy buildings and statues, loot, and fight.
Why don’t the Elites like Oprah, use her Billions of dollars, and speak up? Why, because they can run away to one of their many houses, and have a great time behind their gated communities, and not think about what is going on in the lives of the rest of us. Obviously, they do not care! Don’t they realize they cannot take their Billions with them when they go? They can give to their many charities, and do good all around the world, but why not start with America? All they would need to do is SPEAK UP! That’s what is needed now. When God comes for them, and He will, what will He say? I gave you talents, and you made Billions, but you destroyed America!
Critical race Theory. Why? Let us be who we are? Who cares what color….we are all children of God!
Let’s all try to get along with each other, and pray, pray for America!
