He travelled to Austria, and the leader of Austria said their trees were more flammable than trees in CA.

He was in helicopter with Willie Brown and Brown told Trump "horrible things" about Kamala Harris then the helicopter almost crashed.

Kids are robbing stores, but they bring in calculators to add up what they steal so they don't go from misdemeanor to felony.

He was on the honor roll at Wharton.

He was in better physical shape as President than Obama.

All the men who came to him "with tears in their eyes" begging for his endorsement.

Late Friday night, Tennessee House Republican Caucus chair Jeremy Faison posted “President Biden has finally approved [Tennessee governor Bill Lee’s] state of emergency request,” making it sound as if the delay in federal support for the state during the devastation of Hurricane Helene was Biden’s fault. In fact, while Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina all declared emergencies and requested and received federal approval of those declarations before the hurricane hit, Governor Lee did not.

Instead, in keeping with an April joint resolution from the Republican-dominated Tennessee legislature calling for 31 days of prayer and fasting to “seek God’s hand of mercy healing on Tennessee,” Lee proclaimed September 27 “a voluntary Day of Prayer & Fasting.”

Lee did not declare a state of emergency until late on September 27, after flash flooding had already created havoc. President Biden approved it immediately.

The extraordinary damage from Helene in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia continues to mount. At least 91 people have died, and search and rescue teams are at work across several states. More than 2 million people are without power, and western North Carolina is isolated after its roads washed out. A fire at a chemical facility in Conyers, Georgia, outside Atlanta forced the evacuation of 17,000 people nearby. The National Weather Service office in Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina, wrote to the residents of the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia: “This is the worst event in our office’s history.”

Faison’s implication that Democratic president Biden, rather than Republican governor Lee, was to blame for the slow federal response to Helene in Tennessee illustrated the Republicans’ attempt to create a fake world to motivate their base with fear and anger while leaving Democrats to come up with real world solutions. And since those solutions are popular, Republicans are claiming credit

This article is from 2021 but still relevant today. Approximately 94,000 veterans do not have U. S. citizenship, leaving them vulnerable to deportation if they violate certain laws - even misdemeanors decades ago - regardless of their service record. Many of you may not be aware that non-citizens can serve in the US military and have done so honorably since 1776. Many historians agree that were it not for Polish, Prussian, French and other nationalities fighting in the American Revolution, it's highly unlikely that it would have been successful.
IMHO Clinton, Bush, Obama & Trump should be ashamed of themselves for all time. The film is no longer a available unfortunately. While liberals and conservatives don't agree on much these days, I'd like to think that on this issue they would make common cause. What does this say about us USA Americans?

This is the current bill (that will be expiring in a month with no guarantee of being introduced next Congress) that has had no action (or co-sponsors) since being introduced into committee by a military disabled veteran senator:
