The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.

Biden’s a good man... He believes that people matter and that kindness isn’t weakness.…He’s been through enough loss to break a person, a wife, a daughter, a son, but he never let it turn him cruel. Somehow, he keeps coming back to kindness. To light.

OUR tax dollars are being used to bail out Argentina, OUR troops are being put on the ground in Israel & OUR soil is being used by Qatar for a military base of their own.
While OUR government is shutdown.
Anyone who believes OUR so-called “president” when he says he is “America first”, is an idiot.
