  1. As long as they keep rolling back regulations and policies
  2. To quote Benjamin Rush in a letter to John Adams in 1789 Maybe now the quote should be We are no longer merely immature. We have forgotten what we once knew about the responsibilities of self-government.”

It would come to be widely known as the Purple Heart. The badge was to be presented to soldiers for “any singularly meritorious action” and permitted its wearer to pass guards and sentinels without challenge. The honoree’s name and regiment were also to be inscribed in a “Book of Merit.” On August 7, 1953, with the Cold War in full force, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signs into law the Refugee Relief Act (RRA) of 1953, providing U.S. visas primarily for refugees and escapees from communist countries. Replacing the Displaced Persons Act of 1948, which had expired the year before, the RRA allowed the United States to legally admit 214,000 immigrants through its borders, including many still displaced by World War II. “In enacting this legislation, we are giving a new chance in life to 214,000 fellow humans,” Eisenhower announced after signing the bill. “This action demonstrates again America’s traditional concern for the homeless, the persecuted and the less fortunate of other lands.” On August 7, 1990, President George Herbert Walker Bush orders the organization of Operation Desert Shield in response to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait on August 2. The order prepared American troops to become part of an international coalition in the war against Iraq that would be launched as Operation Desert Storm in January 1991. To support Operation Desert Shield, Bush authorized a dramatic increase in U.S. troops and resources in the Persian Gulf.

If I remember correctly airspace around the White House and the Presidential Chopper route is usually closed Unless someone at the White House screwed up or decided to change the route, Even then ATC should have been notified and made adjustments

  14. This should be national policy
  15. At least my dad didn't force a doctor to write a letter about a fake injury
