Thank God for the don't groom.kids.bill. OK groomer! Ay look its the dancing commie puppet with no scrupols. Who supports kid Diddlers and groomers, because he's probably one himself. Biden is one of the most corrupt, destructive false.leaders in the world. He has no conscience, no morals. Biden according to Gods word is a liar. A corrupt destructive false guide. The Democrats unjust lockdown destroyed smal biz, which has led to.HIGHER GAS AND FOOD.PRICES.. To the ok boomers Ok groomers. Woke,” says Urban Dictionary, is “a state of awareness only achieved by those dumb enough to find injustice in everything except their own behavior. Do you support child mutilation? God doesn't! which is why butchering babies in the womb. Chopping kids body parts off. In the name of transgender.(LIES) Allowing criminals , child predator's off easy. IS EVIL IN THE EYES OF GOD. Don't act like you care about Ukrainian kids. when you allow such evil in america. includimg what's happening to kids crossing to get in border. God knows the wicked are using Ukrainians suffering to try distract from.l all damage leftist are doing in America. That should be shared with God and the world. These people PERVERTS who are seeking to corrupt and groom kids. Need to be put on blast. Tell the truth shame the devil. Help the children whose innocence is being tainted. Oh Lord! Heavenly and Almighty God, I come before you humbled and sorrowful, aware of my sin, and ready to repent. Lord, forgive me for I have sinned before you. Wash away my sin, purify me, and help me to turn from this sin. Lead me to walk in your way instead, leaving behind my old life and starting a new life in you. IN JESUS NAME!

@@wearenottogetheranymore2658 “just as bad”???? When I google “Philadelphia” I get “Eagles make blockbuster trade”, something about hockey, something about building the city largest research lab. It’s a city in a wealthy country at peace, with 1.5 mil citizens. When I google “Ukraine” I just get a lot about genocide, war crime tribunals and Putin launching a full scale attack in the East. Civilians are fleeing from basically all of the cities. Kyiv alone has 2.9 mil, aka almost double Philadelphia. But it’s not just Kyiv, it’s a whole country with 44 mil and Russia keeps bombing it’s children’s hospitals and are apparently committing some genocide while they’re at it. How selfish do you have to be, to think they’re remotely comparable? Everything doesn’t have to be about you, what is it with some Americans.

This is beautiful. Thank you for this segment. I also watched a segment done by CBS I think? About him and his wife and it just deepened the incredible respect I had for him. He deserves it all 👑👏👏👏
