  1. Don’t rock the boat Miguel !
    Miguel:

  2. Hopefully the sharks wont go hungry

  3. Urgent Alert !!

    Given what we know now, the Supreme Court and DOJ are compromised!

    No person is above the law Garland, do your job! Listen to former DOJ Eric Holder, you can and need to prosecute Trump.

    since January 6 2021 not one single Republican lawmaker has been held accountable for their insurrection actions. they will win re-election if not arrested and they will cause more chaos. Put an end to the Trumpist Republicans

    The world has greater peril from those who tolerate evil, like the DOJ, than from Trump and his fellow insurrectionist! DOJ Garland is ending democracy by not prosecuting Trumpist.

    Civil Contempt For Trump, But Trump Has Not Been Indicted
    1. the DOJ Garland wants to let Trump go
    2. DOJ Garland is afraid of what might happen to himself
    3. DOJ Garland is afraid to do his job and wants others to pursue Trump in Civil Court

    DOJ Garland
    promised to hold Trump insurrectionists accountable, but he has not done so for the insurrection leaders and he is not cooperating with all other justice departments.
    Garlands plan is to wait out the clock so he can say, oh we just couldn't get to it in time..

  5. Stay were you belong !

  6. I like to imagine the terror and hopelessness they felt. Feels good.

  7. My prayers to all of Puerto Rico!! They are a wonderful group of people who take great pride in their land and culture!! They deserve so much better than they got from vile trump and his hateful wife!!! So glad they are gone!!

  8. Haiti. Why are gangs fighting for that sh*thole? I’d give it away.

  9. Shouldn't pay taxes for foreign interests. It's taxation without representation!

  10. If they stayed home, they would be alive. Silly rabbits, Trix are for kids.

  11. These people trying to make it to the U.S. should reconsider. We have the cost of living at an all time high and thus many people homeless. These people will only exacerbate the problem

  12. Do not let them on U.S. soil.

  13. USA and France did this to Haiti!! 😳😳 France threaten Haiti for "REPARATIONS" and USA was on France's side. Then Americans killed their President. China will offer them help and Checkmate USA!

  14. 11 dead recovered , 8 in hospital , " couple dozen " saved , sharks got the rest……

  15. So the us y’all ain’t go help Haiti it seem to really be a problem and y’all been handing out to everybody else

  16. Come here legally. Follow our laws. Don’t be criminals

  17. The US government should open up but like it did for Ukraine . They created this problem so fix ii .

  18. we can help uk but can't help them ???

  19. Best news I've heard in months 👍🏻

  20. I am not offended by this new story

  21. Seeing is believing… 😎

    Ephesians 5:11
    "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather EXPOSE them."

  22. Moscow Mitch Qanon Seditionist greatest threat to humanity. ). Nullify. V. T. O.

  23. Question…do we have a border problem..
    Simple answer….yes ..or no. ?

  24. A better world is coming! 😀😀 Jehovah God's Kingdom ruled by Christ Jesus will solve all global problems and restore paradise to the earth! Matt 6:9,10 To benefit we must choose it

  25. The Clintons did so well in Haiti.

  26. Covid deaths: US 1,026,527 Mexico 324,465

    Title 42: Mexicans giving Covid to Americans. Yeah right.

    Pinkies stole California, Texas, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico & Western Colorado from Mexico.

    Will the Pink Ukrainians and Russians be sterilised by ICE agents like Mexicans were at the border?

  27. Americans let Greg Abbott disrupt supply chains to increase inflation.

    Americans were scammed $3B by Greg Abbott to provide buses for Mexicans travelling to Washington DC.

    Americans gave Steve Bannon money to help build Trumps Wall that he transferred to personal account.

    For genuine good luck, give $1000 to the next New Zealander you meet.

  28. And yet the US is sending billions to Ukraine, right

  29. MY MOVIE WILL START THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO SAVE THE MALE RACE FROM GENOCIDE.

    You ask why we are so violent and about all the other ways we are being destroyed. My movie will tell you a story through the eyes of hate and rage. And I promise when I shine this light every major group will try to get this movie pulled from theaters because we have allowed so many evil people to hold positions of power that they now control everything we see hear and think. They will come for me, and my movie because it will show the true agenda of not only all these groups but the crime being committed by every person who holds office. Will look at Chicago… we are literally losing a whole generation and I can show the world what's inside these children that's driving this behavior. Most people on Youtube know my page and they are waiting for somebody to help me shed a light and let the world see the horror that is now the inner city. People in my hood called me Grim…. Mr. Smith, I have a very important story to tell but I need people with courage to hold their ground when the world comes to silence me. This movie is all your fears and everything the powers that be don't want the world to know. ……………….GRIM

  30. The Lord told me recently that He is already very close, at the door..!
    But people are not ready. God calls us to be ready for His Coming!

    "… repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 3:1-2) God demands repentance from everyone, for "there is no righteous man on earth who does good and does not sin" (Eccl. 7:20)…"
    “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good,
    not even one.”(Rom. 3:10-12).

    "And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man: they
    ate, drank, married, married, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed everyone.
    Just as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, drank, bought, sold, planted, built; but on the day that Lot left Sodom, a rain of fire and brimstone fell from heaven and destroyed everyone; so it will be on the day when the Son of Man appears. On that day, whoever is on the roof, and his things are in the house, do not go down to take them; and whoever is in the field, also do not turn back. Remember Lotova's wife.
    Whoever saves his soul will destroy it; and whoever destroys it will revive it.
    I tell you: that night there will be two on the same bed: one will take, and the other will remain; two will grind together: one will take, and the other will remain; two will be in the field: one will take, and the other will remain."
    (Luke 17:26-36)

    "Take heed to yourselves, so that your hearts are not burdened with overeating and drunkenness and the cares of life, and that that day does not suddenly overtake you, for it will find like a net on all those who live on the whole face of the earth; therefore, watch at all times and pray that you may be worthy to avoid all these future disasters and appear before the Son of Man" (Luke 21:34-36)

    "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour at which the Son of Man will come."
    (Matthew 25:13)

    10 And he said to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand.
    11 Let the unrighteous still do unrighteousness; let the unclean still be defiled; let the righteous still do righteousness, and let the holy one be sanctified still.
    12 Behold, I am coming soon, and my retribution is with me, to reward everyone according to his deeds.
    13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the First and the Last.
    14 Blessed are those who keep his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life and enter the city through the gates.
    15 But outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and adulterers, and murderers, and idolaters, and everyone who loves and does unrighteousness.
    16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to witness these things to you in the churches. I am the root and descendant of David, the bright and morning star.
    17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let him who hears say: Come! Let him who is thirsty come, and let him who is willing take the water of life for free.
    20 He who bears witness to this says, "To her, I am coming soon!" Amen. To her, come, Lord Jesus!
    21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you all. Amen."
    (Revelation of John the Theologian, 22:10-21)

    "If we say that we have no sin— we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." (1 John 1:8)
    "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out" (Acts 3:19)

  31. 🤔 But the US don’t have a fraction of humanitarian aid to send in protection for these distressed people like we’ve sent/and we’re sending elsewhere? 🧐
