I thank her for sharing her truth about her depression. I'm in the midst of full blown depression now; following the death of my father.

I worked with a guy who worked on Air Force one thru 3 presidents. He said Barbara Bush was a class act. She wanted to know how all the crew members were doing at all times and said she was like everyone's grandmother. RIP

The hateful language is not from the democrats. This kind of language comes from foreigners. I know a number of foreigners from Central and South America, they blame George Bush for the stuff that happened under Ronald Reagan. Remember under President Reagan there was a scandal because of arms being sold to El Salvador. I have nothing but respect for Barbara and George Bush they helped the public schools. Ronald Reagan had cut funds so bad to our schools, that we had to pay for our classroom basic supplies. Students had to make their box of crayons last for five months. I was completing my masters, and my tuition was raised to tripled the cost. Mrs. Bush had a wonderful literacy program in place, and President Bush gave back funding to the public schools. Due to my on bias towards education, I think Barbara Bush was a true treasure as a first lady.

We're from the Orient when LAURA BUSH received help on Main Street, my aunt's roommate saw her and told me, I went in due to prayers by someone, brain injured I saw her but comprehension was bad, he drove by and that's a dragon, we took karate together with some others, they are Many Veterans... I worked @ HUD so that union is Housing and certainly it "may not die like a Vet" but it is patriotic. They stuck sensors up my body, in skin pores, in ears, sewed my palms

Depression is of course serious. Life circumstances vary and can contribute to it. I wish we could get away from calling it a mental illness. It is not.it is something difficult that we go through in there eating degrees, but it is not a mental illness.

Marvin Pierce was her farther but it is not possible that he was her biological father. The mother of Barbara was nowhere near her father around the time of the child's conception. This is why it is believed Crowley was the father, because he was around the mother at the time of conception. The fact that Barbara is the double of Crowley only makes a stronger case for this being true. She does not resemble Marvin Pierce her mother's husband at all. Barbara Bush can't be held responsible for her mother's fascination for the occult and her intimacy with the alleged genius occultist Crowley, but Barbara Bush is no Christian, but it was obviously very important to her to play the role of a devout Christian. If you believe she was really a Christian then I have a car I would like to sell you, in fact I have a couple of cars I would like to sell you.

YTfancol I’m not a trump fan but he actually chose not to attend in order to keep the focus on honoring Mrs. Bush’s legacy vs focus on his chaos. To me? It was the right decision and Melania doesn’t create ire among the American people and therefore could attend, as a representative of the WH without causing distractions.
