  1. A devastating situation is out of control in Yemen. Over 85,000 children under the age of five (Save the Children) have died since 2015 because of US foreign policy and cooperation with the Saudi Royal Family. Millions more Yemen children, women and men are still facing starvation. We can save them by providing immediate emergency assistance with our allies. We are capable of mobilizing international resources to stop this evolving catastrophe and save as many lives as we can just as we battle COVID-19 domestically. Let such corrective and compassionate efforts mark our re-entry into the community of nations and a disavowal of an administration’s selfish, scared isolationism stance. Join me in this humanitarian cyber activism and share this post. Stay safe out there and thank you.

    “Yemen is the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, with more than 24 million people – some 80 per cent of the population – in need of humanitarian assistance, including more than 12 million children… WFP (UN’s World Food Program) is facing a significant funding shortfall. WFP urgently needs over US$ 500 million to ensure uninterrupted food assistance until March 2021. ” – https://www.unicef.org/emergencies/yemen-crisis “Britain, the US and France may be complicit in war crimes in Yemen by arming and providing support to a Saudi-led coalition that starves civilians as a war tactic, a United Nations report has said.” – https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/03/uk-us-and-france-may-be-complicit-in-yemen-war-crimes-un-report

  2. What is wrong with the Republicans? I keep asking that question, but I don’t have an answer. Do they actually want more people to suffer and maybe die? The “pro-life” party seems to be very :anti-life”, not to mention anti-Christian and anti-decency. They have gone nuts!!

    1. @Preston Ramseyer Go listen to Kevin McCarthy and his sidekicks on Fox

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nub1CIbysRs

      Himself and the others on stage verbally agree, that the people shown them, that they only want a small package for PPP.

      NOTHING about funding for safety, in schools, nursing homes, or PPE, etc.

      They LITERALLY think people voted for them to stiff the average American in a pandemic! And to block ANYTHING that is not PPP, and Corporate Liability laws to avoid law suits if you get sick on the job, even if your company is at fault.

      Is this what Republicans voted for? Watch the video and please let me know.

      Oh and they used the scary “Socialism” word like 400,000 times too.

      Like it’s the ghost of Christmas future coming to pay a visit. lol

    2. @AnythingAuto I know I’m right. Look what Trump has done during this election. He is single handedly trying to ruin americas electoral process. Anyone with a brain understands this. Plus he’s getting older too AND he has quite a few legitimate lawsuits against him that will hit when he is not longer the President

    3. @AnythingAuto it’s the gop fault they uphold trump and his lies and his violent talk. Gop is guilty of weaponizing, and politicizing the virus.

    1. @Preston Ramseyer I’m assuming he means that many Repubs deny that COVID is a real problem, therefore many refuse to wear masks, citing that doing so infringes upon their freedom. Not wearing masks = spreading COVID. Spreading COVID = murder.

  3. People in Wisconsin running around not gaf pushed children into schools my grandchildren got covid-19… health departments can’t even answer questions not even same protocols county to county

    1. @Rick Blackburn 😊😄😃😅😂🤣 so tell me what’s America first about paying America$750 in taxes while he payed $200k+ to China and Philippines. I believe it’s you that wouldn’t get it.

  4. It doesn’t help that we had people out celebrating Biden’s win. I was happy too but I didn’t go out in the streets. It also doesn’t help that all those idiots gathered for that protest in DC supporting Trump.

  5. “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.” Donald Trump

  6. It’s ok! GOP/Mitch McConnels bill has $100 for each nursing home, across the US.
    Gooooooooooooo Republicans! (Sarcasm)

  7. As an Administer of several Nursing Homes, I signed up my staff and residents before the due date 11/6/2020, to receive the vaccine.
    My team is READY! Thank you CVS and Walgreens for working with the CDC.

  8. 🤔 Trump is pharaoh ! Concede and let my people go! This virus is all about TRUMP aka as Pharaoh 🤦🏽‍♀️ His hard heart is causing this destruction ! When he leaves the virus will leave.

  9. WRONG, it absolutely is the caregivers fault. The blame falls on the facilities that improperly manage PPE & tight protocols for the staff in these facilities. They are getting paid to provide safe & infection free environments & are failing to do so … cut the funding until they can operate clean homes, just like restaurants get shut down if they are not clean & safe. They need sued.

  10. A word about masks and their side effects. I have worn my mask every day all summer and fall when I take my 30 minute walk. Unlike previous years, I now never have to take a day time allergy pill. The mask protects me. Also, now that it is colder, the mask keeps my face much warmer.
    These arguments are for those who don’t care about who they infect.

  11. The trademarks also cover items including nursing homes, sausage casing, and voting machines. Ivanka’s business applied for these trademarks in 2016.

    In November 2018, the government transparency advocacy group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) published a statement linking to source documents revealing that “Presidential adviser Ivanka Trump’s fashion brand had just won first trial approval for 16 new trademarks (which had been applied for back in 2016) from the Chinese government. These approvals come about three months after Ivanka announced that her brand was shutting down, and mark the largest number of new Chinese trademarks she has received in a single month since President Donald Trump took office.”

    Ivanka receives preliminary approval for these new Chinese trademarks while her father continues to wage a trade war with China. Since she has retained her foreign trademarks, the public will continue to have to ask whether President Trump has made foreign policy decisions in the interest of his and his family’s businesses.

  12. This wave of Covid is taking out the dump Trump supporters who live in less densely populated red states that flaunted the fact they were not hit that hard by the first wave… 😳😳😳😳
