Trump isn't just a threat to democracy in the US, he's a threat to all of us in the West

I keep asking ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป Meidas to interview European Journalists to start with.

The European Journalists can hook Meidas Touch Network up with European Leaders.

Ben says they are expanding, I HOPE they can get some European coverage.

In Ireland who are some good Journalists Meidas Touch could interview and feature their writing? If they have a Blue Sky account, kindly reply with their link.

Love to hear from you. My cousin is in Movile, Donegal, at Loch Foyle. Where are you?

I'm from a wee town called Limavady in Co.Derry right on the river Foyle. There's a ferry we can cross from Magilligan (15mins away from where I live) to cross the Foyle to Moville. It's lovely in the summer to go across on the ferry and have a few pints of the black stuff sitting out by the water

Wow, thatโ€™s funny. I thought Foyle was a lock. Youโ€™re saying itโ€™s a river. Daniel and Mary Francis have a home that is next to it. He has a boat in the Foyle, but itโ€™s old and not usable. But, they have a garden there as well, that he keeps planting. Nice to meet you. Our Duffy great grandparents , John and Rosie had a farm on Carrickquiey.

Hi Patti, I never asked you. Have you ever been over to visit Ireland? For me Donegal is what makes our country special. Where i live in the North of Ireland everything is hectic, life moves so fast. Once you cross the border from Derry to Donegal life seems to slow down, it's as if a weight has been lifted off you. In the North people passing you barely acknowledge you, but in the south(Even though Malin Head in Donegal is the most Northern Part of the Island) everyone waves, smiles, are just more friendly overall.

If you ever get a chance to visit you'll know what I mean as soon as you get there. If only the whole Island was made up of Donegal people we might never have had the problems we've had over the years.

At the mouth of the Foyle like any river that goes out to sea is called Lough, on the North side as it goes up through Co.Derry & South, Co.Donegal to Derry City it gets narrower to form the River Foyle.
