A stunning number of electric vehicle, battery factories are being canceled

In all the outrage about what the White House is doing, please pause for a moment - and even LOWER YOUR PHONE - to pray for the souls of these four brave patriots. Sons of Illinois, California, Guam, and Michigan.
They died for their country.

The four U.S. Army soldiers killed in Lithuania:

* Staff Sgt. Troy S. Knutson-Collins, 28, from Battle Creek, Michigan. The world honors you. 💔
