President Trump and the rule of law

Emphasis mine. Quick read.

The executive order given by Obama was not a legal one so has been handed to the body who should have decided it in the first place.

President Trump and the rule of law

".....The legal status of “dreamers” is a matter for Congress, not the executive, to decide. Even President Obama said so before he elected to decide the matter anyway. ...."

Size Matters

Size Matters

"...... Personal generosity is a laudable quality, but giving to a large organized charity is just plain foolish. At best, three-quarters of your donation will be gobbled up by the administration of the charity. If you genuinely wish to be of value to others, your generosity would be more effective on a local level, where you give directly to those who will benefit from it, and you’re more certain of the outcome. The larger the charity organization, the greater the certainty that much, if not all, of your donation will fail to reach those you hoped would benefit......."

NSA Offered Hillary Clinton’s “Lost” Emails to FBI— Comey Turned Them Down

"As Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election expands, one curious detail in Hillary Clinton’s email probe remains. The “lost” emails from Clinton’s private server aren’t lost — in fact — the NSA has them, but during the FBI’s investigation, Comey didn’t want to hear about it. ...."

Woman 'Astonished' by Alleged Behavior of Red Cross After She Brought 400 Burgers for Harvey Victims

You decide.

Woman 'Astonished' by Alleged Behavior of Red Cross After She Brought 400 Burgers for Harvey Victims

"A woman in Texas says she was “astonished at the behavior of the Red Cross” when she tried to bring 400 hamburgers for Hurricane Harvey evacuees at the Jack Brooks Regional Airport in Nederland, Texas.

The woman, who identified herself as Lindsey Scott, claims a husband-wife team with Red Cross “accosted” and “berated” her for bringing the food. Here’s what she’s claiming:

My sister says I can use her FB page to get something off my chest if I identify myself lol. This is Lindsey Scott, and I'm astonished at the behavior of the Red Cross husband/wife team at the mid-county Jack Brooks airport yesterday. Who together accosted me and took turns berating me because I was trying to bring 400 warm hamburgers to our hungry evacuees, who according to them did not need the food because they had “already had a sandwhich.” Yes, they had 1 sandwhich in 24 hours. They were desperate for a hot meal! The Red Cross proceeded to try and load the warm, ready to eat burgers into an ice chest. The pilot, who had donated his time, fuel, money, plane and arranged the delivery of the burgers was horrified at not being able to serve them (he actually came to volunteer as well). I confess I just stood there with my mouth gaping open, fighting back tears while they told me that I did not know what I was doing and they had not even seen me volunteering. This is not a normal reaction for me but either exhaustion or pregnancy hormones got the best of me because I simply couldn't find the words to fight back...  "
