Life With Jules, and other stuff

I haven't posted in a while and it seems like when I do post anymore it's negative so let me start with something positive. I spoke with a close friend that I haven't spoken with since 2013 when we last saw one another. It was so nice to hear his voice. There were reasons I haven't spoken with him, but nothing to discuss here. I didn't realise how much I truly miss him until we spoke last week. But I do. I'm sure he knows. I'm sure he could sense it anyway. LOL... I just hope we speak again soon. Our conversations are always filled with history, Bible, current events, and so much more.  On the down side, I have been so angry. I am angry with our president and the mess he has made of not just our country but Afghanistan. I am angry and sad for the Americans and Allies that are stuck in that country, left to fend for themselves against the Taliban. Angry that we don't have leadership in place to get them out! What the hell is wrong with this administration...

I belong to a group on Facebook (or Fakebook, if you will) that is all about debating current topics. It seems most people on there would rather hate on those who don't agree with them than actually discuss the topic at hand. We can post about any topic, which depending on the "hot topic" of the day can be anything from racism to the president. There was a period of time where every other post was about racism. It got to a point where one of the founding members actually left the group and tried to close it down. It was a crazy few days to say the least. Anyway, I write about this group here (not mentioning it by name and if you are a member please don't mention in comment) because recently someone posted about the US getting involved in other country's issues. More specifically, this person posted images (before and after) of specific countries. I am not quite sure if this person understands why we become involved so often, so I explained that there is this thing...
