Is it really a base or just barracks and some training planes. I find it frightening that we are training pilots from a country that contains terrorists. We have done this before, and the consequences were more than tragic for our country.

I saw no birds on my walk today. It was low tide but no gulls or egrets. Just this.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Est-ce que tu fais des gnocchis? J'adorerais apprendre à faire ça ! Mon petit-fils adore les gnocchis. Tu fais une sauce spéciale pour les gnocchis ?

Pardonnez-moi. J'essaie d'apprendre le français. 💙
