⚠️ Israel: It's War: Six years after the war with ISIS ended, we see ISIS as it was intended to be, the seed of a new dimension of collective terror that has grown and rooted itself deeply in the Middle East. Hamas in Gaza has shown us the true horror of these Islamists. In the killing of women, children, the elderly, the disabled, babies; we see you clearly. We do not flinch as we see you.

Some CON laws also prohibit existing providers from expanding facilities or even buying new equipment unless they can prove community need. Read More ([link removed])
