Might be nothing, but I have noticed a lot more accidents in the liberal parts of Portland.
One boostah loving liberal hood had one car crash into a convenience store and minutes later another car went flying into a bank atm.
The boostahs are back.
Wish Australia was listed separetly from Asia, hate to see so many visuals of the deaths.
We do not hear anything from the deaths on MSM, not that I watch it much.
Kids dying from viral infections, because they are bombared with too many poison jabs as babies and children and their immune systems end up too weak to fight anything, terribly sad.
