Plan “B”
Terrorism will not have its way with me. I'll not deviate from my life of freedom in the good ole US of A because of suicide bombers. In other words, I choose not to live in terror. But I DO have a Plan "B".When voters in Britain decided to leave the EU, markets collapsed. Shooters claim lives...
