If after this post you decide to ‘unfollow’ me for political reasons–I don’t take it personally.
If however, you are curious–please continue.
Several days ago, in our small town, I witnessed a young man yelling at an older man:
“Where do you get your information on the Left!”
“Where do you get your information on the Left!”
“Where do you get your information on the Left!”
Notice, this isn’t a question, but as I was speaking to the older man’s wife, I responded:
“From my grandmother.”
If you are unfamiliar with the history of genocide in the Ukraine–and I am guessing you aren’t–because it’s not something we learned in public school; here is a good place to start.

My grandmother learned the bitter truth of just how far the Left would go to achieve their vision of Utopia. She made sure I knew the truth of what happened, so as not to be deceived again–as they were.
It’s difficult to know for sure just how many people, Ukrainians and Russians alike, were killed during this ‘man-made famine’ of the Left’s design, but it’s estimated to be 7 to 10 million.
May the blood and bones of my ancestors
Nourish the land that was taken from them;
And may they finally
Rest In Peace.
May Justice and Freedom reign; and
God bless ALL the leaders of the still-free world.
May WE ALL finally
Rest In Peace.
With love and gratitude,
Nina
