watched the movie “Till” story of Emmitt Till brutally murdered by white supremacists in the state Mississippi 1955. Highly recommend. It’s on Prime. Whoopi Goldberg is in it & was viewed on the View, stating “should be viewed for the world to see.”

The GOP act with impunity because they can. They don’t respond to criticism because they are above the law. Are we “A GOVERNMENT OF LAW AND NOT OF MEN” today? President John Adams rolls over in his grave!
