Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

He stood for freedom and had such integrity. The world is a better place because of him. RIP

So the boos for Vance at the Opening Ceremony were deleted by some American networks. So anyone with footage, repost so the truth will come out.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

His speech. Now our turn as each Canadian to do our part. One gesture at a time. Resist fascism.πŸ’œ

Basically when you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. it is better to do with a bully. No matter how Canada tries to be a good sport, it does not work with a bully. So elbows up. We need to trade with the world and support our fellow Canadian workers.

Music is an art. Like a taste of art is in the eye of the beholder. Music is in the ear of the listener. All music belong on this earth. Each of us can have our own preferences without negating other forms of music. For me I love drummers from around the world. And Bob Segar.

"A cartoon, titled "Quiet Piggy" by Steve Nease, depicts a Canadian beaver character applying duct tape over the mouth of a man identified as U.S. Ambassador Hoekstra. The beaver is holding a roll of tape and saying "Quiet Piggy," while the ambassador is holding a paper labeled "Anti-Canada Rhetoric". The cartoon is a political commentary on U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, and his undiplomatic comments regarding Canada."

Love the black and white. Makes the images in the photo more poignant. Nature always teaches us lessons if we stop and look.

Your average dietician could give some very good suggestions on healthy eating for all ages. So how about speaking with individuals who have expertise.

Guns kill.. Not medication for individuals. Where is the real science and not the fake science.

Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
