A few yrs ago there was an extensive discussion how world would manage a pandemic like 1918 flu

It was assumed US would have the teams and infrastructures that had been developed over decades!!

No one imagined the enormous Trump engine of destruction

He eliminated much of the public health, epidemic infrastructures!

Watch Robert Jeffress, pastor of Dallas 1st SoBaptist, on JimBakker show for Evangelical message

This is what 100s of thousands of people are hearing weekly at church and daily on tv

You can watch 2 videos of him on the show at the Jim.Bakker ministry web page.

Jeffress paints Democrats as totally demonic, anti God, out to destroy everything good in US. Trump is saving the country from evil!

'Last 4 yrs of Obama completely destructive.'

This can be truly eye-opening if you've had little or no contact with the world of the Evangelicals

This group has been an active force in US politics since at least the late 70s. But the print and tv media totally ignored them and ridiculed anyone who tried to sound the alarm. Now when it's nearly too late, political and intellectual leaders are beginning to wake up!

?? EU may withdraw police cooperation from UK if Boris actually drops Human Rights Protections ??

Saw this discussed on a YouTube video.

Anyone know anything about this?

Human Rights Protections are required by the Council of Europe (NOT EU). Boris, many Tories want to withdraw the Protections. Police cooperation with Eurooe depends on having similar Ptotections

I think that's a fair summary of what I heard.

Anyone know anything about this??
