Sorry, the “breaking news” in this submission is the “breaking news” that this country has conditioned itself to being run by an old-school, dictator-wanna be, cigar-chomping, medal-wearing, balcony-standing, impulsive, man-boy. It is no longer “breaking news” when the President of the United States, rage tweets, spewing vicious hatred toward a specifically-named reporter and source, and […]
Wingnuts roasting on an open fire, Mike Pence talking to his toes, some people in Louisiana simply do not like other peoples’ concepts of holiday cheer. A Christmas lawn display of inflated dragons wearing Santa Claus hats aroused the...
"If they had spies in my campaign it would be a disgrace to our country, it would be a crime, and the biggest scandal in our country's history." Donald Trump, Current President Jesus Christ as an MSNBC analyst, the above was...

I'm really not sure where I was this last January when stories again hit the real papers (the first ones appeared in September of 2017) about the "birth tourism" wave hitting Miami (in particular) among Russian families of means....
