    . I don't know how he summons up that spirit and energy in such depraved conditions .Thank God for that amazing gift that was his ticket and it also doesn't hurt that he's very good looking and charming!

    "bill on capitol hill" thanks for the Saturday morning memories of my childhood.
    Ronald, congratulations on your recovery. I am 23 months clean off of illicit fentanyl pills and powder.
    Ronald, I too am a child of the Summer of Love.
    Captain Crunch peanut butter is my favorite cereal.
    Ronald if you haven't got one already, please get the Celebrate Recovery Bible. It is amazing. I am not in Celebrate Recovery, but I do love their Bible.
    Great Video–a big hug and thank you to the creator.

    The WARmerican terrorist regime (born in 1947) is much worse than WWII Germany and that was BEFORE the biden & trump gen@cide/Apartheid sponsorship, unaliving women and children DAILY just like WWII Germany. 2018 study: “After World War II, the U.S. Regime Has Killed 25-30 Million People” (mostly civilians). Prof. John Mearshiemer says the number is 38 million. WARmerica supports Ukronazis, zionazis, and have now put Al Qaeda leadership in control of Syria to steal it for… the illegal lend theft zionazi project. Stealing land from many countries just like WWII Germany but unaliving MANY more than WWII Germany.

    How sad this video is. Just seeing all those tents with homeless people living in them and filth and garbage all around is terrifying. People have infections and other diseases and heart problems and it goes on and on, it's so sad. People don't choose to live this way, they have no choice, they're down on their luck. Now I cannot say I feel sorry for the people that choose to live like that and are doing major drugs, but, they need help as well.
