  1. the original post says "The boy, who was not identified, arrived at the border" kind of misleading when the facts are "They were apprehended on April 3 on the north bank of the Rio Grande in central El Paso, " trying to sneak across the border. they did not go to a border crossing seeking asylum they tried to sneak in illegally .
  2. They were taken straight to the hospital and never were in a detention facility is the point I was making. So "sleeping on the ground on rocks" had nothing to do with this poor kids death. The article is trying to make a connection that does not exist. The author new the facts but still wrote this "Why is this happening? Perhaps this could be part of the reason: etc."
  3. "A Customs and Border Patrol official familiar with the case said the mother informed federal agents that her son was sick after they were taken into custody. The official said the child was taken by ambulance that day to a local hospital, where he was diagnosed with pneumonia, and then transferred the following day to a children's hospital in El Paso." So never slept on the floor in a detention facility. Apprehended and taken to the hospital. So the article in first post is making a connection that is not true. How surprising!
  4. where did you find that Mark?
  5. the article says the child was in the hospital not a cage
  6. Where is the connection to sleeping on the ground and the child's death? We can't even tell from this article if the child was in the same facility that the photos are from.
  7. We find this from time to time when doing research on sign codes in different municipalities. Usually it is a city/county/town with a architectural review board or historic preservation committee some such. a side note here-a quick google search of the code told me what suburb. I actually graduated from Lakeshore High on 13 mile. We moved there when we bailed out of Detroit
  8. I agree with you. They purposely came in to undercut an industry and now bitch that they don't get paid enough
  9. pandering to the base is what I was referring to
  10. implementing the green new deal is about as likely to happen as Mexico paying for the wall. And both of these things were presented for the same purpose.
  11. The plan looks great on paper but there is no way it could be implemented. And I believe the author's new that. Where would the money come from for this? Providing resources, training, and high-quality education, including higher education, to all people of the United States There is no way this "Upgrading all existing buildings in the United States and building new buildings to achieve maximal energy efficiency, water efficiency, safety, affordability, comfort, and durability, including through electrification. could be accomplished in 10 years. And again where is the $$$ coming from to pay for it?
  12. so you think this is possible? Guaranteeing a job with a family-sustaining wage, adequate family and medical leave, paid vacations, and retirement security to all people of the United States It would be great if it was but I don't see it. Where do these jobs come from? Who is covering this guarantee??
  13. you have a good point there I can't see him doing much time if any looks like he overstayed his welcome there and pissed off his hosts
  14. I was under the impression they had some video and physical evidence also. Not just the accomplices testimony.
  15. Why is it crap? Because you don't agree? I am on the fence on the electoral college also and I like to see well reasoned articles on both sides to help me make a decision. I can see the 1 person 1 vote logic but it does give a lot of power to high population centers.
  16. I don't know how you can watch that video and still stand by your narrative that the kids were "going after a native American".
  17. top one is Leibe this is a few years ago. She only has 1 eye now and is moving slower. Not looking forward to losing her. The other is Bella and she is only 6 months younger than Liebe but she is in a lot better shape.
  18. https://www.google.com/search?q=Suicide+instructions+spliced+into+kids’+cartoons+on+YouTube+and+YouTube+Kids&rlz=1C1RNVH_enUS587US587&oq=Suicide+instructions+spliced+into+kids’+cartoons+on+YouTube+and+YouTube+Kids&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60.1 So someone in the YOU Tube Kids channel put suicide instructions in the middle of cartoons. Why would anyone do this?
  19. Phil you are still blaming the incident on the kid. He should be able to wear whatever hat he wants without an adult getting in his face trying to make some point. The native american drummer is the one that decided "To stand face to face" with the kid not the other way around. As far as the smile of smirk that I hear people commenting on. He looks to me to be embarrassed by the whole situation and wasn't sure what to do.
  20. I liked this one "Former Air Force Sgt Who Claimed He Saw NASA Photos of Alien Base on Far Side of Moon Dies After Tractor Trailer Hit His Bike" I wonder if the Chinese probe got any pics?? Of course it was the mid-1960's when the Air Force dude saw the pics. They may have moved out by now.
  21. Gotcha "but still significantly better than the alternatives". and from Bill "compared to a coal power plant you are MUCH better off from a pollution perspective with the solar." I would think as we get more into the production they can find even better ways to produce the power we need. I saw something about wave action generators. The theory seems sound but I have not really researched the application.
  22. but we are still polluting the earth with the materials we are making batteries with and the pollutants in the worn out photo cells we have to dispose of are we just trading 1 pollutant for another?
  23. I like the NEW instead of green button. I also think that clicking the title should take you to first new post. my $.02
