Frodo: I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil.

During World War II, the Red Cross refused to accept blood from black donors
In December 1941, a few days after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and America’s entry into World War II, a Detroit mother named Sylvia Tucker visited her local Red Cross donor center to give blood.

Guys, Trump doesn’t care about Christians in Africa and it’s not really about the Nigerian oil.

Nigeria has exploded in rare earth mineral production in the last couple of years. In fact, it is the number five rare earth mineral producer on the planet.

Zara has settled her brain for a long winter's nap. Check out the ear tufts, furnished ears & extra fur between her toes: typical of Maine Coon Cats. Nearly all calico cats are girls: genes for orange & black fur are on the X chromosome, requiring two X's (female) to express both colors with white.
