I'm happy to report that I'm feeling a lot better and have now tested negative for it (I still have some congestion in my nose and throat but most of my symptoms are gone). Thank you for your prayers everyone.

I had somehow avoided contracting it all these years but now I have it and it's really bad. Please pray for me and everyone else suffering from it.

The president doesn't control gas prices. The only people deceived are those who think that he does.

That's certainly a reasonable viewpoint. It's not up to you, nor is it up to armed vigilantes, to decide what punishments are meted out by the justice system. According to a quick bit of research, he had already served his time for the child molestation. You can certainly argue that 10 years...
