Hello All. I know I posted a lot of videos today. I wear headphones when doing things out of my Pink Palace office and because I like what I am hearing I post them. I do that while in my office also. I am having crackers and sharp cheese as I write this because of my recent steroid shot I get hungry quickly. I was down to 168. Every time I have steroids my weight goes up a bit because I get so hungry. But to this video and why I am posting it. I hate abuse of children as you can imagine, that includes beatings which I got frequently. Please tell me how a 6 year old 40 pound child can stand up to a 200 pound barroom brawler who can put three chimney blocks over one arm and go up a ladder. I soon learned that to complain would get me told that parents have the right to discipline their children, it was in the bible. I am not sure that included the black eyes, broken bones, or seeming all over me bruises. I would gladly take the hits rather than the belts that left welts that would take weeks to stop hurting, and if on my butt made sitting still in class to learn impossible. So to hear a man of the cloth stand up and say that hitting a child is not that passage meant is very important to me. Thank you all for reading and watching. Hugs
Yes I am desperately trying to get things done so I can work on my own video posts. Ron has been sleeping for nearly 3 hours. So enjoy this informative post while I try to finish the few dishes we managed to dirt last night. Damn my back aches. Standing at the sink seems to be the worst. Hugs.
Surprise surprise, the GOP is trying to railroad millions of regular Americans for rich-dragon-people-hoarding-tax-gold purposes. Ain’t that just the way.
Yes I know I just posted four clips from this young man, but this one spoke to me. It tells the story of a young woman who did not want to vote for tRump, but bought into his lies. Then she was a casualty of Elon Musk the unelected supper president. She lost everything she had hoped for. But it is too late. Please watch the video as it really shows the thinking of a lot of people who voted for tRump not realizing he was constantly lying to them. Hugs.
Ron has followed this young man for a while. This morning he was telling me how smart and well grounded he was. I decided to check him out. I found out I really like his content. Here are a few clips. Hugs

March 1, 1961 President John F. Kennedy issued Executive Order 10924 establishing the Peace Corps as a new agency within the Department of State. The same day, he sent a message to Congress asking for permanent funding for the agency, which would send trained American men and women to foreign nations to assist in development efforts.
