Congress is completely broken.

Me either. The national hurricane center said the storm is so powerful it will change the geography of Jamaica 👀

To our friends in Jamaica: your beautiful island is loved across the world. Our hearts are with you as you face nature at its most destructive.

Hurricane Hunters inside the eyewall. They reported birds trapped there, unable to escape.

People in Jamaica are used to hurricanes, but nothing of this magnitude. Nothing will survive, not even the palm trees. It will change the landscape. An absolute catastrophe.😔

In 1986, Reagan granted amnesty to 3 million undocumented immigrants (with support from Republicans in Congress).

Ontario should do an ad. 😉

Dear Russia-

Tim Kaine will be surprised that he's giving money to state employees, especially because he's a U.S. senator, not governor. 🙄

A catastrophe for Jamaicans. The most powerful hurricane in their history is about to slam into Kingston, a city of 900,000. 😟

I saw the tarriff ad Ontario aired. Using Reagan's actual words is billiant. It's not fake or taken out of context.

Canadians conducting a "reenactment" of the war of 1812 by burning down his ballroom in retaliation for arbitrary tarriffs.

First hurdle cleared for membership in "Sons of the American Revolution," a society for direct descendants of Revolutionary War veterans. It's a long, arduous process to document descendancy.

My Scottish DNA comes from my 7th great grandfather Duncan Stewart (1623-1717).

In 1650, he got caught up in the English civil wars and captured by the British.

Grandpa was forced into indentured servitude and deported to the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Lucky for me, he survived the ordeal
