This is one of the best times I’ve had with the media. This might be the most fun I’ve had since watching your faces on election night!” President Donald Trump

Quote II

“No wonder fake news resonates so much with Trump fans — because so much of it is fake,” [It’s] just nonsense meant to keep you perpetually offended with an endless stream of controversies that aren’t controversial, and outrages that aren’t outrageous — because places like the Huffington Post and Buzzfeed and Salon — they make their money by how many clicks they get. Yes, the people who see themselves as morally superior are are actually ignoring their sacred job of informing citizens of what’s important, and instead sowing division for their own selfish ends. Hey, wait, isn’t that what Russia was doing to us? Yeah, it is. And we have to stop both of them from using us as the cocks in their cock fights.” Bill Maher

California is home to 12 percent of the nation’s population, but startlingly 22 percent of the nation’s homeless population.
Roughly 1.5 million households pay more than 50 percent of their income toward rent.

Moar California insanity.

She appropriately appears in all the family funeral pictures mourning alongside other family families.

Two months later, Hunter’s now estranged wife, Kathleen, was out. And now, Hallie is in.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders continues to impress. And CNN's Jim Acosta should learn to pull his big boys pants up.

These nations do not have the abilities of a large "nation of immigrants" like the USA to make such things work - they are small almost tribal states who have a history of going to war with other neighboring ethnic groups. They can take small numbers of closely related people (i.e. ethnic Danes in Sweden) but do not do well with huge cohorts of people with little in common ethnically, culturally, or religious.
