Ten-year-old Jahkil Jackson is on a mission to help homeless people in Chicago. He created kits full of socks, toiletries, and food for those in need. Just this week, Jahkil reached his goal to give away 5,000 “blessing bags.” That’s a story from 2017.

This. This is a President. These are the people that are making a difference in others lives. These people and those like them are the ones we have been waiting for. Both parties are not the same. One is for themselves the other, for everyone.

Happy New Year and let's kick ass in 2018.

They touched so many hearts and did their best to heal the wounds. They left a huge hole in our hearts on that last day.

Great description of said orange one.

The difference is as clear as black and white with a tint of orange.

Oh please let 2018 be better......let the sanity I hope that is in all of us take over for the INSANITY that is now the POTUS, THE CONGRESS, AND DAMN NEAR 30% of the country. Please whoever might be in charge, give us back some sense of humanity, some sense of brotherhood, some sense of being compassionate to our fellow human beings. I beg you, and Happy New Year.

Obama has been a true and lasting gift to our country and the world.
