NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it.
We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."
Oy.

I have seen a number of judges stating they are right on the edge of contempt charges - and of fines.
But, yah, hopefully, we'll see actions very soon.
[Clearly, from their statements in rulings, some are really pissed!]

Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..
Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.
