DACA is an American immigration policy founded by the Obama administration in June 2012. It allows certain illegal immigrants who entered the country as minors to receive a renewable two-year period of deferred action from deportation, eligibility for a work permit. and other benefits.

The policy was seen as a way to remove immigration enforcement attention from "low priority" individuals with good behavior.^[1]

In August 2012, the Pew Research Center estimated that up to 1.7 million people might be eligible.^[3]

President Barack Obama announced the policy with a speech in the Rose Garden of the White House on 15 June 2012,^[21] a date chosen as the 30th anniversary of Plyler v. Doe, a Supreme Court decision barring public schools from charging illegal immigrant children tuition. Republican Party leaders denounced the program as an abuse of executive power.

Is the benefits given to DACA far better than US' kids?

So it came as no surprise when Trump declared that he would refuse his $400,000 yearly salary as president. Upon learning that he was constitutionally required to accept the money, he amended his statement, saying via a spokeswoman that he would accept $1 and either give the rest back to the U.S. Treasury or donate it to charity.  Just a thought.

Adjust...

It's hardly news to point out that men are more concerned about their bodies than ever before, but the fear of visibly aging is no longer limited to women, if it ever was.

The "sexual invisibility" felt by many older men is really about becoming less attractive to young women.   "Young women look at me and they see someone who looks like their Dad,"

Most 40-something women just like to turn the heads of guys their own age. Not so for their male peers, many of whom are busy chasing substantially younger women.

Why so few men are interested in dating women their own age.  OKCupid data indicates that women are much more interested in dating guys their own age. In the effort to prove that they can still attract younger women, middle-aged men are the ones who are rendering their peers "sexually invisible."

The reasons older men chase younger women have less to do with sex and everything to do with a profound desire to reassure ourselves that we've still got "it." "It" isn't just physical attractiveness; "it" is the whole masculine package of youth, vitality, and, above all else, possibility.

It's not that women our own age are less attractive, it's that they lack the culturally-based power to reassure our fragile, aging egos that we are still hot and hip and filled with potential.

Can we all adjust?  Just a thought.

Unexpected...*

 


Makenzie Schultz and her husband sat down to a sushi dinner in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for their sixth anniversary, they were looking to have a special night out.

They waited 20 minutes for water. Then, they waited 40 minutes for an appetizer. And then they waited an hour for their entrees.
They left their server a $100 tip, and a note that read, "We've both been in your shoes."

Rather than posting an angry review online or blasting the restaurant on Facebook, they decided to take a negative situation and make it positive, recognizing that "he probably isn't going to get tips."

"This is more about being kind and being generous," Schultz said. "We just wanted him to know that we've been in his shoes."
"Think of the entire situation, before you judge. And always remember where you came from."

U.S. diplomatic negotiations with Russia toward a ceasefire in Syria that would ground Bashar Al-Assad's Air Force in order to allow humanitarian aid to reach suffering civilians have fallen short so far. US wants to undermine the Assad authority by all means and under any cause.

The secretary of state declined to reveal what outstanding issues are keeping the U.S. and Russia from reaching a deal.

President Obama said that Kerry and Lavrov "have been working around the clock, as well as a number of other negotiators, to see what would a real cessation of hostilities look like."

Russia and the U.S. are looking to achieve a ceasefire between Al-Assad's government and U.S.-backed rebels that would expand access to aid for hundreds of thousands of civilians caught in the crossfire.

Comment: The Syrian civil war has been active for five years. The country is no more a country. People fleeing out of the area to go nowhere. To rebuild the country back to what it was in 2000 may take fifty years.

US is helping the some rebels, Turkey helps some other fractions and so is the Saudis. So get ready for the New "Devil" we call it moderate, the one that will replace ISIL shortly.

Just a thought.
