At this instant in 1945 (8:15 AM August 6, local time), Little Boy—a 15-kiloton, uranium-fueled atomic bomb—destroyed Hiroshima, killing (per official US military estimates) ~70,000 men, women, and children, incl. 12 American POWs. Independent estimates later maintained ~140,000 people were killed.

Today we remember the 298 lives lost in the downing of Flight MH17 on July 17, 2014. A Dutch-led investigation confirmed a Russian missile brought the plane down, yet Russia continues to deny responsibility and shields those convicted.

This video appears to confirm it was a Russian air-defense missile — not a Ukrainian drone — that blew up that Moscow refinery’s storage tank today, creating the "flying saucer" footage. (This video was shared on Telegram by Russian military expert Yan Matveev.) t.me/arrowsmap/11...

When I met with BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA a couple of weeks ago, I wish I had asked him to show me his VERY WELL made HOLLYWOOD MASK that he wore to sometimes do press conferences while impersonating "Joe Biden"!! Everyone now knows that. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MISSED OPPORTUNITY.
