This is my America. It is children like you, Paramvir.

Note the name in the second picture. Paramvir Saini. Obviously I do not know his history. I assume his parents were immigrants, perhaps he was an immigrant himself or american born. Not that any of that matters. What that tells me is this small child has more pride in our flag and memorializing those we lost than the 'Resident of the UNITED STATES OF ALL AMERICA!

Donnie on Memorial Day went to a foreign country to praise DICK-tators and trash America. Whoa. Read that sentence again.

This is the 'type' of child that donnie wants to cage and toss his parents out of the country for being drug dealers, rapists, murderers, thugs and terrorists. Ya see, they just aren't white enough for donnie and his base. Fact is the racists/ supremacist's are the terrorists that are murdering the children one by one as they cage them. They are terrorists as they rip the children away from their parent. They are the rapist of women taking their choice away, the most intimate and heartbreaking choice a woman has ever had to make. The drug trump and admin are dealing is whiter than cocaine and more hallucinogenic. White supremacy, a heady drug to his base. White Power.

They are terrified because the census is tipping and they will in a few years be the minority and they will do whatever they can to make it so. MAGA.

Photos: 37,000 Flags On Boston Common Honor Fallen Mass. Veterans

More than 37,000 American flags are now on the Boston Common — an annual tribute to fallen military service members.

Each flag represents a Massachusetts resident who has died in military service since the Revolutionary War.

This is the 10th year that volunteers have planted the flag garden that goes up before every Memorial Day weekend.

That Time cover just rips my heart out. Crying and scared children does that to me. I just want to scoop her up and rock her and tell her everything is OK.

I knew enough Hindi / Sanskrit to know that Paramvir means Supreme Hero, or Supreme Warrior, and was just going to add that to the dialogue. It is indeed interesting and ironic, isn't it? Definitely, Parmvir is more of a hero or warrior than our draft dodging president.

'Resident bone spurs vilified all Americans today on this Memorial Day. A day all of us remember our dead that served this country with honor. He embraced a dictator from a country we fought against.
