Biden: Battle for Soul of America (none / 0)

Indeed, the same powers present in the Jan 6th insurrection are present today ... a threat to our democracy.

Pres. Biden on Jan. 6 committee public hearing: "It's important the American people understand what truly happened, and to understand that the same forces that led January 6th remain at work today." [_link] pic.twitter.com/7yWb4kiUkU

As US Senator, 8 years Vice-President and today as President you were in the halls of power and became part of the great failure in citizens losing faith in US Congress and the Federal Government. America divided in Red and Blue and the model portrayed to the Free World is broken. Succes of capitalism cannot white-wash the failures to the poor.

Schoolbag on flagpole (none / 0)

Customary in Holland when you passed the exams and graduate to next level of education.

My big grandson turning sixteen this month succeeded with excellent marks.
Am very proud knowing what a struggle it has been the past 15 years.

Unfortunately I don't own the red-white-blue of the House of Orange 🇳🇱 ... only prize possession an American flag. Had to find a solution ... the backsliding of democracy is a serious problem ...

How I solved the matter ... distress !! 🇺🇸

Displaying the American flag upside down, according to the flag code, is a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property. pic.twitter.com/mxPqVCYr0B

My neighbour is a high ranking military official ... I wonder if questions will be asked. 😄
