Hey, I spent the majority of my career covering war zones on the front lines and in Mexico covering the drug cartels - I also grew up overseas and have traveled to nations where there are untreatable viruses and diseases that kill indiscriminately (including children) I did so
without any medical facilities near and many times without protection. I think it's tragic that anyone die for any reason - but that's life
Human life is fragile - that is a fact. But we live life...what makes us remarkable is that we take extraordinary risks to achieve great advancements. We traveled into space when the odds of coming back were slime. We treated people with incurable illnesses only to become sick
ourselves. Marie Curie discovered radium only to die of radiation poisoning because she didn't realize the impact of her discovery. It is called being human. Hiding from the world out of fear is not human, it's not life. Common sense is the way to live and doing what's right
for those most at risk. But locking down our society and terrifying our children with two vaccines already on the horizon is not how to handle COVID19. We might as well live with masks on forever because there will always be something - somewhere - to be afraid of.

I hope you don't mind me asking this question. For four years, many of us exposed what happened to @realDonaldTrump and the American people - bureaucrats within the FBI, DOJ, State Dept., DOD, NSC corrupted - many in the FBI fired - a two tiered justice system. Now,
(2) we hear about corruption plaguing the voting system - questions about whether or not votes were manipulated should be addressed - there is no harm doing that in a Republic. The right thing to do is to make sure the American people are comfortable with the vote. Why should
(3) trust the NYT and others. I've seen Democrats who've made Trump supporters lives miserable for four years now ask for unification and gaslight Americans at every turn. Why shouldn't every legitimate vote be counted? Why is that an issue? Also, why hasn't anyone been held

First I can't imagine this person every being a friend of anyones, let alone @FLOTUS Who records their friends? Secondly, I've spent enough time covering the U.S. border, migrants, child caravans to understand that what the First Lady is saying is not a lie. The coyotes
human traffickers are monsters - these children suffer. Many of the kids who traveled alone to America were left alone, sometimes abandoned by parents (who either couldn't financially take care of them or had planned to return to get them but never could) tragedy all the
way around. This administration has done more to fight human trafficking and the injustices perpetrated than prior administrations. It is also true that many of the teenagers (migrants)are instructed by the coyotes to avoid deportation. I've interviewed many over my career.

This is why @MZHemingway the American people need to know all the facts and not be manipulated by propaganda. I was covering the Rio Grande Valley Sector during the wave of children in 2014 - the detention facilities existed then
Also, here's my story about detention facilities in 2014 under Obama ...The left is making this @realDonaldTrump issue but take a look ...theblaze.com/news/2014/06/1…
Many of the kids I met just as they crossed the Rio Grande River were hungry, thirsty and some had been sexually exploited/violated on their long trek to America. Some hadn't seen their parents since they were toddlers. It was heartbreaking. BP agents were doing their best...
