Thoughts for the day
It’s certainly spring and it’s another windy day. Not appreciated, but
expected.
Whenever I had to meet with parents, I made sure I had a trusted translator…even
when I knew at least one parent spoke English. I have to wonder how any American
government official could show up with a meeting with Putin without having a translator
he trusted in tow. This is so hard to comprehend.
Dozens of white Afrikaners from South Africa have been given refugee
status. These refugees never left South Africa until they got their refugee
status. Typically, refugees must leave their home country, live in a camp in
another country until they get status. Further, there is no proof to their claims
of losing farms or having family members killed. All of this while real
refugees from Afghanistan, Sudan, Syria with proven need for refugee status,
are in a holding pattern. They have been vetted, some even have plane tickets, and
many helped the US in their home country. Trump gave a blanket No Refugees
Executive Order on the first day of his administration. This is wrong.
Yesterday there was a protest at Gateway Airport, a small airport in Mesa,
AZ. The protesters were against Avelo Airlines doing deportation flights from
the Mesa airport, which block due process from those deported.
Native American Tribes That Dominated History

The Cheyenne, inhabitants of the Great Plains, were known for
their military prowess and strategic organization. Closely allied with the
Arapaho and Sioux, they participated in significant battles like the Battle of
the Little Bighorn.
Their society was organized into warrior societies, each with
distinct roles and responsibilities. The Cheyenne were skilled horsemen, which
was crucial in their military strategies.
Their ability to unite with other tribes against common
threats showcased their leadership and adaptability. The Cheyenne's cultural
heritage, rich in tradition and resilience, remains a testament to their
history and strength.

US President #12 Zachary Taylor (1849-1850) Never living in one spot long enough to register, he never voted until 1848. Although he never told, we’re pretty sure he voted for himself.
Misunderstood History…
Cleopatra Wasn’t Egyptian ©pixabay
Despite being Egypt’s most famous queen, Cleopatra was
actually Greek. She was part of the Ptolemaic dynasty, descended from one of
