Father, blessed Father
it's morning again…

No one can stop us

When trouble's knocking here again
I’ll tell him Jesus has my hand
He'll walk me through

1. The U.S. is at war with Iran.
2. Russia is helping Iran in that war.
3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops.
Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports.
The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.

Yes I have changed my pronouns just a little.
Mostly because I’m absolutely fed up with fragile masculinity and all the pain and abuse it brings with it.
This is not where I choose to live.
