Enjoy this blog while it lasts…I am taking steps to drastically change it when my credit card links are taken away, been a nice ride!
City of Exiles
Tijuana, Mexico. This article nails the despair some of these people are going through. I admire the attorneys and all the other volunteers trying to help these people.
You may understand some of what they are facing and even learn some aspects of the US immigration system as well. But please try to understand the human aspect of this…You do care, don’t you?
Volunteers…”soothe the trauma that comes from spending decades in the United States only to get arrested one day, shoved into a van, driven to a concrete wall, and forced through a door into a foreign city — “the psychological equivalent of getting pushed off a skyscraper”
The stories get more emotional as you read this…
So You (Or Your Wife) Wants to Join a Multi-Level Marketing Company
My blog exists to keep throwing affiliate links in every single post in numerous places with a tiny tiny disclosure at a place you won’t care to read so I can make money off every single link. Okay, that was a sad joke. Seriously, a reason it exists is to serve as a Public Service warning to keep you and your loved ones from making mistakes. You know, improve humanity this way, advance world peace and stuff like that.
Okay, if you know anyone who is thinking to get into an MLM scheme, if you care about that person you should send him/her this article. If it is not too late…
You should be thanked one day…
The Atlantic Slave Trade In Two Minutes
There are some web guys out there who put together some stuff online that is just incredible. So is this one. Click on it and sit back and watch. No, let me rephrase to “Shocking interactive video!” while I change the url to my credit card links. I can be sneaky but I just can’t do that!
The Trouble With Johnny Depp
This guy is not well. I think we will see news soon that he has decided to depart this planet. Yeah, drug abuse can harm you, we all know that. But what made me shake my head to Bolivia was the TOTALLY INSANE spending this guy has been doing. Even by Hollywood standards, this guy is in a league all by himself!
How can you go bankrupt when you have made $650 million, wow!
The Parlance of Pilots
I know I have some aviation geek readers. And this one is written by a British Airways pilot and it is ALL about the language they speak in the cockpit. I really enjoyed it and I do not consider myself an aviation geek. But I do like airplanes and flying. For free naturally lol.
Actually, I had a similar experience as a kid. My cousin was a pilot of fighter jets in the glorious Greek Air Force. And one day we visited him in his base and he let me inside the cockpit. I still remember that moment vividly. No selfies back then, sad! He went on to fly for Olympic Airways for many years until he retired.
And I leave you with this… #badasscrab

Happy Sunday morning and first.
First first? Congrats!
Can someone please check on DML?
Thank you for your concern! The wife almost called the MD! I slept really late.
Great links today! I learned a lot from the MLM piece.
without a fix on the border issue all this mess will continue like it has for 30+ yrs. And yet no elected officals will do anything about it. Its been this way for a long time.
So Trump was going to solve it that is why the moron would not stop his racist shit…or is it because it pleases his base?
We are at all time unemployment lows. We have so many other more important things. Why are we even talking about the border? And messing up relations with our neighbors and friends we trade so much with?
Because we are dealing with a phucking moron, that’s why. By the way, that was the former SoS words…which he never denied. And he was fired via a tweet, WTF!
I think it was a good article. It dealt with the human suffering involved. Something this horrible person has no idea about…
Some other news:
We just witnessed an epic performance in the World Cup by Colombia, WOW!
I hit a new weight low, now down 28.4 lbs. After I managed to run 7 miles (and then went straight to weigh myself for maximum impact lol).
I stopped reading at racist. The US cant allow everyone to just walk across the border and become a citizen. There needs to be a policy in place that allow X number in per year to assimilate into US culture and create the current chaos of 100k’s of people streaming across the border unable to be processed, id checked and documented. The system as it stands now is broken. Do we fix it or continue to have the same issues over and over again for the forseeable future. People arent going to stop coming to the US so the problem needs to be addressed
I think we went back and forth about this very same issue before…
We are going in circles.
It is not a big problem. Immigrants are a net plus for this country, we NEED more!
If Mexico or Colombia win the World Cup I am immigrating there!
#notreally
immigrants are more than just a net plus to the USA. Immigrants are crucial to our success. However we need zero illegal immigrants.
But then you get to the immoral UK version of immigration, whereby you let developing countries train their core medical staff at huge expense and then we wave visas at them and say ‘come to the UK’ (and let your fellow citizens die for lack of decent medical care back home, with a budget depleted from effectively funding the UK medical education budget) ……
When the US gets into a recession…it will take care of the illegal immigration…
Many doctors have left Greece, sad!
So pumped for Iran to beat Portugal. Probably not gonna happen but hey, this is why you play 90 minutes!
