Sometimes it takes quick wit and humor

A few years ago my co-worker witnessed an interesting confrontation at a donut shop.
He frequented it often. It is ran by a Chinese family. Super nice guys.

Anyway, these two skinhead racists came in to the donut shop one morning to harass the owners. In part of the exchange they called the owners "gooks" whereupon one of the donut shop owners behind the counter replied,
"We're not "gooks" damn it, we're "chinks"!!

The skinheads didn't know what to do. It threw them off completely. They left the store sheepishly.

Nice diffusion.

Highway 12 between Escalante and Boulder, Utah

I mounted my GoPro on top of our motorhome during a recent trip we took.

And I don't do well with heights...

He admits he's a traitor and still *crickets* from the GOP

This morning he said he believes Putin while attacking our intelligence community.

I'm not sure how much more blatant this needs to get?

This Obama-era pilot program kept asylum-seeking migrant families together.


Trump canceled it.


The Family Case Management Program, launched as a pilot in early 2016, aimed to keep asylum seeking kin together, out of detention, and complying with immigration laws. It was praised by immigration advocates for both its high rate of compliance and its ability to help migrants thrive in a new country — right up until the Trump administration shuttered it almost exactly a year ago.
