I cannot look at these pictures without getting a lump in my throat. God had put the right man in the right job at the right time. It truly was a miracle. And a last chance for America to wake up and make things right. Fast forward to today. Our decisions were wrong. Made in haste. And with selfish intentions and no thought of ramifications. We could not afford to be wrong. And yet we were. Is it too late this time? I pray to God that it isn't. But He will not always be patient and long suffering.

Thanks.

Refreshing.

I do hope he lets us know when he retires to his big Argentina spread. Could be some kind of signal that he’s lost faith in OThuga’s capacity to hold anything together any longer.
