[@fowlerja]

Protesters have marched in the streets concerning the issue of “Free Palestine”. Why haven't college students stepped up to the plate and addressed these very important issues in America? Their motives may be sincere but the importance of the issues they choose to protest is lacking. How about switching your sign to read: “Save America” against the invasion of 8-10 million “illegal” people, from 160 nations, across an “Open Border”, including criminals, “want to be” terrorists , and fentanyl drug smugglers? Fentanyl ( a synthetic chemical drug) kills 75,000 young Americans ( age 15-44) each year. 300,000 families will bury their children during Joe Biden’s Presidential term. If Joe is re-elected, expect the total to rise to 600,000. This will be more than all US military fatalities, in all wars since the beginning of WWII. Looks like America comes in second place for important protest issues.

[@rachellebelcastro911]

Or maybe even free the hostages!! 😞
