I will say it: NOW IS THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT GUN CONTROL

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, I never stopped talking about gun control.
If you do not believe me, come tell me to my face, you liar.

Russia funded Facebook and Twitter investments through Kushner associate

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/nov/05/russia-funded-facebook-twitter-investments-kushner-associate

Two Russian state institutions with close ties to Vladimir Putin funded substantial investments in Twitter and Facebook through a business associate of Jared Kushner, leaked documents reveal.

The investments were made through a Russian technology magnate, Yuri Milner, who also holds a stake in a company co-owned by Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior White House adviser.

The discovery is likely to stir concerns over Russian influence in US politics and the role played by social media in last year’s presidential election. It may also raise new questions for the social media companies and for Kushner.

Alexander Vershbow, who was a US ambassador to Russia under George W Bush and to Nato under Bill Clinton, said the Russian state institutions were frequently used as “tools for Putin’s pet political projects”.

'Sarah, what day did the debate about guns stop??

Sarah said the other day it was okay to come out and talk about terrorism because they never stopped talking about terrorism and immigration. The victims of the New York mow down be damned. Yet when 500 people get shot in Las Vegas, it is not time to talk about gun control. So it begs the question,'When did the talk about gun control stop??'

Religious?? ...............Who Cares??

I was taught and have heard that belief in a god was a personal journey.
It is my belief that one should go through life trying not to hurt anyone. In this I fail often.

In this Religion group many posts are about how religion is dying or getting stronger. I ask myself what difference does it make. It only matters what you believe and if you try to live my beliefs. MY definition of religion is a set of beliefs, that includes everything one believes. That is a religion. Many will disagree, and that is fine. It is my definition. It may or may not include a god. If no one believes in a god, does that god die?? If that is the case then that god was not really a god. What difference does it matter what anyone else believes?? Or how they live their lives??

Organized deity belief has brought more grief to this world than anything else combined.
