Powerful photo from the caravan by @vanhoutenphoto.

The US should send humanitarian aid to the caravan. Not 15,000 soldiers.






"These are tough people, these are not angels, these are not little angels," Trump said.

The man has no redeeming components to his personality. He's narcissistic and cruel.

I can't stop looking at it. It has brought tears to my eyes. The utter exhaustion on the face of a four year old is something none of us should ever accept. That little girl has been walking give or take 30 miles in the past week. And look at the women's shoes. Those aren't even walking shoes!

Then, there was that little Yemen girl who just died of starvation after her photo went viral.

Honestly, humans that inhabit this planet deserve a fate worse than hell. There just is no excuse.

I'm not going to give him a pass by labeling him as being mentally ill or with a personality disorder because then it's not his fault.
But Trump chooses not to be a good person.

And yes, that 4 year old girl is a little angel and I'm sure she is not the only one there.
As an atheist myself, let me quote a fitting Bible verse:
"Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it."
Hebrews 13:2
