- with your political observations, you've hit the nail right on the head and driven the point deep. It amazes me to see how many millions of people deny the truth playing out before their very eyes.

Shut down turn off MSM and institute campaign reforms, we have a shadow of a chance. Thank you once again, Malaise.
