I live 1.5 hrs north of the international border with Mexico. I volunteer with a humanitarian group that distributes water and food in the desert to PREVENT deaths. About 25 refugees die each month in the Arizona desert entering the country. Recently, fellow humanitarians found three bodies in one trip. Please do not believe what you hear is happening here. The biggest threat right now in southern Arizona are the out-of-state vigilante groups that roam the desert with assault rifles terrorizing refugees, humanitarian volunteers, and local residents. The vigilantes tell media the humanitarian groups are working for the Mexican cartels. People from all over the USA come here to volunteer to help our local humanitarian groups.

I am sincerely afraid that our country is in for a rude awakening that will change the course of our history. That sounds dramatic, but I think that's where we are headed if we don't put a immediate stop to the craziness that is going on.

Let me just mention an insidious corporation I have just recently learned about. The Sinclair Broadcast Group has purchased more than 200 local television stations, our ABC affiliate in Tulsa, being one. They are disgracefully making Trumpist fake news right wing statements. I've had to quit watching it after 30 years. donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-23225583281184782242018-05-08T13:13:18.505-04:002018-05-08T13:13:18.505-04:00I am heartened to know there are others who feel a...I am heartened to know there are others who feel as you do, as I do.

It's clear that we didn't learn anything from the horror of WWII, or if we did, we have forgotten it all. No country is immune, and there are leaders here who seem to model themselves after what they see to the south. So far good has prevailed, but barely. So many are afraid to raise their voice or their pen as you've done. I hope there are more people out there like you.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-914155520398801752018-05-07T23:27:37.310-04:002018-05-07T23:27:37.310-04:00It is so very sad that you are right in all you sa...It is so very sad that you are right in all you say........So very sad.Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-37469471256134523272018-05-07T23:17:44.774-04:002018-05-07T23:17:44.774-04:00These are dark days for the compassionate and thos...These are dark days for the compassionate and those with honor and honesty as a part of who they are.
