Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

Amen!!

This is what oligarchy looks like.
