A real President ……….

Sixty-two years ago today, November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. He was shot while riding in an open-top car and died later at Parkland Hospital. The event, which occurred at 12:30 p.m. CST, was a moment of national tragedy.

There is a part of the plan where 'American investors" get 50% of the frozen Russian billions in Europe while they use the other 50% to re-build Ukraine.
This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

The liberal academic phrase is a lie…

The majority of academics are not liberal. There are also a large number of conservative teachers.

Stop watching news that pushes these fabrications.

This current reality did not change them either. They voted for this…
