I have a question.
Under the laws of the United States, is Steve Witkoff collaborating with the government of Russia in this manner, on how to influence Trump to get what they want, considered treason?
I think the answer is yes - do you agree guys?

Why do I still believe in miracles?
When I see only deaths, tragedies, and burning kindergartens.
When life feels like survival, not living.
And yet, something inside me refuses to give up.

Well, it has actually cost us £250m a day this year.
And that goes a long way to explaining why our taxes are high why productivity low.
