Or are they feigning surprise to further the drama surrounding the story they wish to tell? I, a voting citizen, NOT a politician or elected official, knew about the Diversity Visa Program prior to yesterday. I also know that these people were indeed, being vetted. The amazement spilling from some of these politicians and journalists is disturbing. I am beyond tired of ignorance, or feigned ignorance, which is even more shameful in my opinion.

Surviving the Circus of politics, religious dogma, science deniers and day-to-day life is nice, but THRIVING is better! Learn to find magic in the chaos. Truth, common sense and actions matter.

Education is KEY, and with experience, leads to wisdom.
