Because they meant to decrease tourism to zero.
They would never let me into this country if I weren't already here
In addition to 5 years of social media history, CBP would also require tourists to provide all phone numbers used over that period, any email addresses used in the past decade, DNA and iris scans, and the names, addresses, birthdates and birthplaces of family members
Including children

My newest foster dog is breaking my heart. He is such a love bug. But… a week into fostering his serious prey drive is showing.

I have 3 cats.

After losing my beloved Bear in August I was beginning to hope this might be a foster fail, but it’s not in the cards.

This is so messed up… Amnesty International reports that detainees at Alligator Alcatraz (and at another facility, Krome North Service Processing Center) describe being placed in a “punishment box,” a cage-like structure in the yard so cramped that people could not sit, lie down, or

The argument against immigration is that “those people” are a danger.

According to the Cato Institute, “The analysis also indicated that the likelihood of being killed in a mass shooting by a native-born American was approximately 6.5 times higher than by a foreign-born shooter.”

Himes: They posed zero threat to anyone in the region, and we killed them.
Himes: It was exceedingly hard to watch. Even if you stipulate that it is a war, there is a very specific prohibition against killing individuals who have been removed from the fight. And there is no question that these individuals were removed from the fight.

Had Trump not ignored a week-old court order to withdraw the troops from DC, no one would have been shot and all the members of the WV guard would have been home sor Thanksgiving.

I honor her service, but I also won't forget Trump's hand in this.

My foster dog went to her new family this morning. It may be a little thing but it brings me great joy to have helped this girl come out of her shell and shine so that the right family could find her.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

I put down my dog today.

Each one of my dogs has been special in their own right but Bear was just an exceptional being.

His previous owner was convicted of felony animal abuse.

And yet, Bear loved the world.

This picture was taken yesterday. I’ll treasure it forever.
