Birthday, North Korea. Hope you remember to get them something nice. North korea traces its founding to This date in 1948. And so today was full of palpably terrified North Korean citizens marching through the streets dressed identically, Doing Synchronized things with s flags and banners all pledging loyalty until death to the third generation of totalitarian dictators who have ruled that country since its founding in 1948.

Thanksgiving dinner there. You know plenty of people could fit it s true i gotta say, having been in the mix for so many debates and so many different ways that you have worked, are you actually looking forward to it tomorrow or are you bracing yourself? both. I think i can t stop thinking about the fact that they have never met in person. And there s so many dynamics to i also as a fellow prepper, i admire that about the vice president. But it also means you need to prepare and then be agile, so i just think that will be interesting to watch. Re and how does she deal with the trump s of it all? so both, bracing and also interested.
