"Grieve not nor speak of me with tears
But laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you there
Please do not let the thought of me be sad
For I am loving you just as I always have."

The Ottawa police put out a warning today about a sex offender who's living in the city, and warned that he is not supposed to have contact with *children* under the age of 18.
First of all, a 15-year-old is not "barely legal." The age of consent in Florida is 18. So sexual behavior with a 15-year-old is rape.
Megyn Kelly is VILE trash for saying otherwise.
And Megyn Kelly is confessing to having insider information about what Jeffrey Epstein was up to but stayed silent.

I just received a document from DHS showing that it has a detained population of 65,000, a staggering total, nearing half the total prison population detained by the Bureau of Prisons. The project is to jam them in horrible conditions until they give up their rights to stay

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."
