It is not a pleasant feeling to know that, regardless of the result of the Syrian situation, it probably won't have a substantial effect on my life.

Why should so many of Assad's victims have died when I live?  Why should those who haven't died be living in conditions that are so much worse than my living conditions?

I hate my life and wish that I were never born.  I don't want to live with what has happened to me for the rest of my life; if I live, I have no choice about that, but I do have the choice of whether or not to live, and I'm not a refugee.

Why do I have those options while so many others don't?  I'm not superior to those people.  I don't have a right to live that they don't have.

There is no "Trump Whisperer."

It is a derogatory term that ought to be stopped. I am for the environment.  My guess is that all of the technology already exists to convert the world to sustainable energy, and the reason that the conversion hasn't occurred is that there's nowhere near as much money to be made from sustainable energy as from fossil fuels. However, it also seems to me that Europe has its own "dirty fuel" problem, which the American media seems loathe to discuss in its mania to destroy the U.S. President.  https://sputniknews.com/business/201804241063864890-us-fueling-conflict-over-nord-stream/ Nobody needs Russian propaganda; the American media is all anyone needs to undermine all positive cooperation that could result from pressuring Europe to take responsibility for enabling Russian aggression. http://www.dw.com/en/germany-approves-nord-stream-2-gas-pipeline/a-43156602 http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/57228 http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/573...

Why isn't this what the media never stops talking about?

How were they not only able to say these horrible things about women without consequence, but to then continue being praised and increasingly treated as if they are integral to American politics and crusaders for human rights? I didn't even know about this; I didn't know they had said it.  How did I not know?  It happened months ago; I didn't know because it wasn't the story that the media wanted to turn into an epic legend about what horrible men they are.   Who the hell is Alec Baldwin?  He's someone who hates Donald Trump; does that give him a blank check t...
