Please Remember This Germany 1933 Massive Unemployment
Several years back, I said that I lived through and still remember the 1930s with the rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany, which ultimately propelled us into WWII. I said then, and I say it now; Trump is a clone of Hitler. To my amazement, a friend of mine recently sent me this article listing …

America, the Beautiful
When I Have Fears Part 4 Today we should be listening carefully to the scientific community. All we need today is to look around us. Look at the fires in California driven by unprecedented wind storms. Look at the rising tides eating away at the once familiar shorelines and endangering homes perched on those shores. …
