Sunday

Credit where credit is due.

Trump intervened to get the birthright US citizen of Nigerian parents (who were just visiting the US and she was too far along to fly back to England) off of a questionable red card. That's what I read, anyway......the questionable part. Compared it to other similar offenses that did not earn a red card).

Anyway, it's a bit delicious that Balogun is the guy he's intervening for, isn't it?

A little bit of our diversity making us stronger?

Can't make this shit up.
