TRUMP Death Camps So far, the total number of children killed – about which we have been told – is 7. Who knows if that is accurate or not. For adults, we understand one male from Honduras was killed a couple weeks ago and no other figures have been disclosed. Some say they died. When…
Read MoreTiger Woods – No Surprise!
We received little notes from Bettina Network Lifestyle Community Members about the award Donald Trump bestowed upon Tiger Woods.
