All Trump does is lie.

They could celebrate Yule for the Winter Solstice this year on December 21.

We don't need things to do at the airport. We need not to have to spend extra hours at the airport waiting for delayed or canceled flights.

Yes the USS Arizona memorial is s moving experience. Still astonishing that Trump went there on a side trip when he was in Honolulu for a meeting. Trump asked, "Why is this here?" His ignorance is an embarrassment to the nation and everyone who voted for him should be ashamed.

Hegspeth doesn't have immunity for following unlawful orders nor for giving them.

ROFL. Thanks to all who yelled at Hegspeth. I bet he'll have to use sleeping pills to ever get some sleep again.

BS. These man was at her final hearing further green card. That is no time, no reason, no way to arrest someone here legally and about to get residence status. It is immoral and all who support this treatment should be ashamed.

Bet the RR does not have to pay 1 cent to clean up the pollution.

People will die. RRs already skimp on safety. If you come to RR crossing with bells ringing & you call the phone # on the pole (on the WRONG side for autos to see) it's a guy in CT with a spreadsheet who needs help finding the # of the crossing & can't get anyone at the RR to answer his phone call.

They are all registered with the aid organizations that helped them when they arrived as refugees. Many likely have moved addresses since first arriving, but they were still listed somewhere.

Somalis don't sneak into USA. They were refugees settled here with the help of churches and mosques to be safe from the wars in Africa. The USA government gave them needed documents. We don't have as many in Texas as settled in Minnesota, but we do have some.

Hillary Clinton has always been a war hawk and that is one reason some voters would not vote for her in 2016.

That Bush cannot leave USA lest he be arrested and tried for invading a country that did not damage USA. In Iraq US killed over 100,000 civilians. How was that legal? Use of radioactive ammunition like in Faluja was illegal and the long after effects include deformed babies.

Yes and we can enter -ai in the search to stop it.

When this bubble pops government should absolutely not do any bailout. AI firms should pay $1 million for every false citation of book, article, court case that does not exist. Regulations needed pronto. I try to turn off AI over and over. Fine AI for reading my emails!

No proof any Somalis living in Minnesota did what you say.

You are correct. But former president George W Bush does not travel outside the USA lest he be arrested and taken to the Hague for trial by ICC (he ordered invasion of a nation that had not invaded USA).

Exactly. And USA should not support war criminals. No amnesty on Russian war crimes.

She cannot start collecting until retirement age, 62 or 65, and the amount does not increase for inflation. It will be about 10% of her salary.

Must wait until eligible age to draw. No increase for inflation until eligible age. So it's about 10%, of her salary when she is 65 or so. She started January 2021 so she is waiting to be eligible in January 2026. 2/

Her pension is like all federal pensions. "Vests" after 5 years. It is a set %, like 2, each of first 5, then % differs for more years. If you have less than 20 years or are below 65, cannot collect immediately. 1/

Nah. Trump doesn't have a king to.lower the boom. His voters here in US will forgive him anything same as the churches forgive their child molesting pastors.

Only prosecute poor people who can't pay off politicians and are sentenced harshly for things they did not do

Trump committed crimes. Trump and his cronies should be tried as charged.
