I read your review. Since i do not understand politics as I would like. I just want to say this. My husband was a WW11 retired M/Sgt. flew 32 combant missions, and loved our country and the American flag. He passed away One year ago, his request was to have his wings broken and one half pinned on him. Of course I had a military funeral. No one loved our country more than he did. Now that Iam alone, and do not have him to guide me in political matters, the news is scarry. I pray God has mercy upon our country. The Republicans need to get their strength back.
