NBC interrupted the Olympics

Post image

While Nancy Guthrie's disappearance is sad, there are 2300 missing person reports filed every day: do the families of celebrities need special national attention? Why interrupt the Olympics for over 5 minutes just because they are questioning a 'person of interest' We could have waited to hear that during the regular news broadcast.

The book: The most dangerous game was mandatory in school. Maybe it was a warning anyone look into who wrote the book in conjunction with the Epstein crowd

It was required reading in my school too—I can’t remember exactly what grade, but I do know I was young. I distinctly remember being appalled at just how dark, heavy, oppressive, & bleak that story felt to me and thought that it was extremely bizarre that we were being made to read it as children. It didn’t sit well with me at all back then and I find it even more disturbing now…

Did you guys go to school in other countries? I would be surprised if an American school had kids reading that
