(Natural News) Why any democracy would participate in any event hosted by China, especially the Olympic Games, is beyond comprehension, given the country’s abysmal human rights history and Communist authoritarianism.

Happy february! My little valentines. We had a bunch of pretty winter sunsets this week. He’s like ummmm… what are you doing to me. Max got a haircut! Jordan played in a sensory laundry basket.

It was indeed puzzling to see these differences as I worked with Dr. Jenkins for several years assisting her with these programs.
