With me again. 127,000 americans have now died from coronavirus. Cases jumping around the country. So whats the plan to stop it . Whats the plan to protect actual living, breathing americans . Well, moments ago, the department of Homeland Security announced a new task force focused on protecting americas monuments, memorials and statues. See the connection . Me neither. The u. S.
