WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA…
THE BORDER WALL-KIDS-IMMIGRATION ISSUES…
*Former “President” Trump declared a “national emergency” to build his border wall, separating
families upon apprehension. President Joseph Biden nullified the emergency, but other matters pertaining to these issues still have to be dealt with.
NOTE: While we are doing our best to provide coverage, the above is a serious, ongoing issue. Especially since no one has yet to fully discuss the health and safety of all the “detainees” as well as the various costs under Donald Trump of separating families and who is truly responsible for the deaths of FOUR “detainees” (known to date), let alone if anyone might actually be making a profit from this situation.
CAPITAL CHAOS: JANUARY 6, 2021

*These Congress members don’t think Russia should be investigated for war crimes. WHY? It'd be either NATO and/or the United Nations conducting the proceedings.
THE IMPENDING SUPREME COURT NOMINATION…
*The committee couldn’t (wouldn’t?) decide, so it goes to the FULL Senate to see if Ketanji Brown Jackson will become the next Supreme Court Justice. (There are 3/THREE separate links in this item.)
