In the Darkness of NightTop Story - September 2021
My father fought in World War II. He was seriously injured during a major battle in the South Pacific. A grenade landed in his foxhole killing his best friend and filling him with shrapnel. He very rarely spoke of his wartime experience, but in the evenings, when we would be sitting quietly you could feel the burden was still with him. During the night he would often have the same nightmare, you could hear him fighting that battle, always waking up with the grenade landing in the foxhole. Growing up I heard that nightmare hundreds of times.

We should amend the constitution so that all elected federal officials only serve a single term. One and done.

Compare this with 0.5% for Covid. It also had a far higher transmission rate; it is estimated the rate was 5 to 7 versus the 2 to 3 for Covid.
