Unlike birds that glide long distances, this Godwit flapped its wings continuously for the entire journey while navigating changing winds and weather across the Pacific Ocean. Obama sent three payments to Iran, totaling $1.3 BILLION. I just found this announcement. So sad! Pray for this wife and 3 kids who never see their father again. RIP. 🙏🏻 Not a single Democrat is holding up a sign, marching in the streets, rioting, or showing outrage for 83 year old Air Force veteran Richard Williams, who was pushed onto the subway tracks FOR NO REASON by an ILLEGAL ALIEN from Honduras. Richard is now fighting for his life and is on life support. Witnesses said the illegal alien threw the defenseless man, who then fell headfirst onto the train tracks, instantly losing consciousness. His family says he may not survive. Say a prayer for Richard. 🙏🏻 Santisima Virgin of Guadalupe: We beg you for all the people who are sick of body or soul. Taslima Nasrin (born August 25, 1962) is a Bangladeshi-Swedish author, physician, and secular humanist known for her staunch feminism and criticism of Islam. Due to threats and fatwas stemming from her writings, she has lived in exile since 1994, having been banned from Bangladesh and faced restrictions in India. https://www.instagram.com/p/DVX3FVrFsb5/ By the way, in case you don’t know: The fighter pilots who ended Khamenei were all Israeli women. Appropriate that a monster who delighted in the rape and murder of innocent women for showing their hair or dancing or speaking out against oppression, was put down by 4 Israeli female fighter pilots. At least that’s a little bit of justice served. https://www.instagram.com/p/DVVip8SFli0/
