I was reading the article Why American lives matter most, about our long history of racism and narcissism in wars, when I got pissed off and googled "price of life paid compensation".
I was surprised by how well documented this idea is.

To be fair, not all lives are worth the same.

I am so so so very glad that people are taking this man seriously!! No matter how big his losses, how cruel and nasty his critics have been, THIS is a politician who has perservered. He’s like the Energizer Bunny or the Timex Watch - takes a lickin’ but never quits a tickin’.

"Last war in the history of mankind", that's what Evgeny Buzhinsky, a former senior Russian general has warned could happen over this latest false flag chemical attack and the subsequent illegal bombing in Syria by one of Amerika's proxies, Israel. (see Below)

Veterans Today has a shocking article with photographs asserting that when Syrian forces discovered the chemical weapons cache and factory in the rebel-held area near Damascus recently, chemical weapons were found with British and German labeling, among others.

This may come as a shock to you, but Betsy DeVos does not believe that public school teachers should strike.
Why? Because she cares about poor kids.
HAH! Sorry, I was going to stick to sarcasm, but I couldn't keep it up.
