For fuck sake!! He media, liberals and GOP address the big picture!! Mental health!! All three have created this issue but none wish to solve it!! Open the crazy houses again and rack and stack ‘em.

Video games. Call of duty franchise is not eo elaborate way to get young men to be enamored with armed service.

Spoon makers also face pressure from fattys. More on this story at 11
