New Episode Alert:

Adventure Minisode: Truman Library and Museum

Sensitivity warning for discussions of historical and current events related to war, terrorism, genocide, and death.

I recommend a visit to the Truman Museum. They are an exception and cover some very traumatic historical events. So many things we face today are rooted in the events of Truman's presidency.

Do you want to be the next US president from Missouri?

You’ll learn about the greatest committee that saved lives and money

You’ll need to learn to say no to your top general when they want to start a war

You’ll need to read this biography @TrumanLibrary

in the History of human connection.

i’ve personally chosen to write in thought before speaking and seeing face-to-face.
