I’m Watching “The Century: America’s Time – 1936-1941: Over The Edge” on YouTube 🇺🇲🇺🇲

It especially bothered me when I watched a group of 900 refugees, who were trying to escape the Nazis, get turned away from Cuba. They headed there bc they knew ahead of time […]

This documentary also said how her husband, Prince Charles, wasn’t in love with her, but was still in love with Camilla Bowles. Princes Diana at one point told a […]
