I do not know what to thinK.

A friend sent a video from a lady named Janet Ossegaard. She is talking about the evil in this planet and how we will need to go through it because the end is good. Well, trump is the good as far as she is concerned and the last administration was evil.

I admit I did not watch all or much.

When she got to the part where trump was being praised for saving trafficked children and women and that many rapists and child molesters have been arrested because of trump signing protection orders for people being trafficked.

I was afraid to hear more. It was called "The fall of the Cabal." Maybe someone here has seen the whole thing or unlike me has the stomach to watch it through.

Last year, the National Human Trafficking Hotline identified almost 15,000 people who were likely trafficked. That’s more than any year since at least 2012. The number of defendants charged with human trafficking by federal attorneys fell to 386 last year, from 553 in 2017, according to the State Department’s annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) report.

So far this year, federal attorneys have prosecuted 39 percent of the cases referred to them with child sex trafficking as the lead charge, according to Syracuse University.

That’s down from 49 percent in the last year of the Obama administration.

Investigations are down: In 2018, the Justice Department opened just 657 trafficking investigations, down from 1,800 in 2016, according to the TIP reports. The Trump administration recently made it more difficult for victims of sex trafficking to clear their criminal records.

she told me it was another tin hat documentary to look at. It was to much to go to far for me. I did not have my tin hat today.
