Imagine if last week Trump said "Mrs. Johnson, I'm sorry if my words offended you, that wasn't my intention. America honors your sacrifice."
My friend Harmeet Dhillon offered a Sikh prayer to close day one of the RNC. It’s an excellent example of how we Christians should make room for those of minority faiths. America is for everyone, and I’m proud to see

Why did you choose to spend $40k/year at The New School for a masters in Sociology, when you could have attained the same degree from

Spending $50k to charter a jet from D.C. to the Grand Canyon for 5 people isn't even rational for luxury. Nonstop first class tickets on AA from Reagan to PHX run ~$600-$900/pp, and roundtrip on a helicopter charter PHX-Grand Canyon would be less than $4k ($8k-$10k vs. $50k).

We live in the takeoff path of the San Diego airport (Loma Portal), and noise complaints by my neighbors are mind boggling. The airport is almost 100 years old, and takeoff noise is so normal it’s called the “Point Loma Pause” if outside talking.
I’m looking forward to the day when I can step on a train in San Diego, and step off in my hometown of Sacramento in less than three hours. It’s possible if people hold on to the vision of HSR.
