Sun Feb 1, 2026, 11:32 AM

Feb 1

About 10 or 12 people my aunts boy friend I dont remember his name (John) spent an hour talking about political stuff with my sister and I. I was 12 anyways as dinner was getting ready my grandmother who never admonished anybody even a little said to John "We dont want to listen to that crap! its time to eat" he was talking about how we just waste money and give it to other countries. That we need to move the us embassy to Jerusalem to "show them who is in charge " I had forgotten about it for decades then In 'trump one" he did it and I kept thinking "where did I hear that before" All of this has been around for a long time. The Birchers finally got to be in charge!
