Who says there aren't kind people in this world? Hello, Donald Trump? My daughter has worked in Retail and Supermarket Loss Prevention for the past 20 years.

Two of her cases remind me of this. Old man she caught stealing a package of Depends and a young mother with an infant stealing Infant Formula. She did not call the police on them, paid for these items herself, and gave these people the telephone number of Social Services.

Yet we have our citizens with HEARTS as well sending supplies to those Border Camps which are being thrown out??? Is this what we call "Making America Great Again"? HELL, NO.
