Husband, father, physician, teacher, and (I feel) all around pretty decent guy who thinks that respect and empathy for our fellow humans is kind of important.
The USA just invaded another country and removed its leader. Regardless of whether or not that person was a good leader or not, this should strike fear and rage in heart of every person in the world.

HINSON: As a mom, I think about watching a baby monitor. That's a very intimate moment with your baby and to think the Chinese could be spying on your morning routine

BARTIROMO: Why are they spying on moms?

HINSON: They just want to know what Americans are up to to undermine our way of life

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

BREAKING: Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has won the Nobel Peace Prize, winning recognition as a woman “who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness.”

Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?
