It is complete and dangerous corruption. This is not the way the USA should be conducting itself. That is a single satellite swath.

Empty beaches and low-hanging clouds are shown, Friday, May 25, 2018, at Fort Lauderdale Beach in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. A storm kicking up in the Caribbean Sea is threatening to bring heavy rainfall and flash floods to parts of Mexico, Cuba, Florida and the eastern U.S. Gulf Coast this weekend and possibly beyond.

MIAMI (AP) — A storm (click here) moving slowly through the Gulf of Mexico is threatening to bring heavy rainfall, storm surges, high winds, and flash floods to the U.S. Gulf Coast this holiday weekend.

Subtropical Storm Alberto - the first named storm of the 2018 hurricane season - roiled parts of coastal Mexico and Cuba with rip currents and dangerous surf before plodding northward Saturday.

Cuba maintained its tropical storm watch for the province of Pinar del Rio, while Mexico cancelled its watch for the resort-dotted coast of the Yucatan peninsula, where the storm brought heavy rain. There were no immediate reports of emergencies. In Cancun, local newspapers showed scenes of some streets flooded to mid-hubcap level.

In the U.S., a storm surge watch - meaning the possibility of life-threatening inundations from rising coastal waters moving inland - was issued for a stretch of coastline between Horseshoe Beach, Florida, and the mouth of the Mississippi River.

"The combination of storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline," the National Hurricane Center in Miami said. Isolated tornadoes could erupt over the Florida Keys or southwestern Florida late Saturday....

Are US House members required to take urine drug screens?

I think Governors should take a urine drug screen every 30 days. Absolutely. They can be good examples to the Poor who receive food stamps.

That is amazing. A US House Representative that is an operative to Trump, actually raises funds by prostitution and cocaine parties.

The voters know this is happening? I doubt cocaine parties and prostitutes are covered under "Citizens United."

Nunes uses drug money to finance his campaign and he is still a congressman? What does Trump have on him?

There are just prostitutes every where, including, Moscow with trump.

In 2015, Alene Anase (click here) was asked by her employer Alpha Omega Winery to serve guests as part of a charity cruise on the San Francisco Bay.

But what she expected to be a routine shift serving wine turned into a nightmare, according to court documents.

The guests aboard the yacht that night — described in her 2016 lawsuit as 25 of the Napa Valley-based winery’s top investors, all men — were openly using what appeared to be cocaine and “drawing straws” for which sex worker to hire, according to the lawsuit.

Alpha Omega, which boasts "world-class wines in a convivial setting," settled with Anase for an undisclosed amount in Napa County Superior Court the same year. The winery is owned by Robin Baggett, a major benefactor of Cal Poly, and its investors include his friend Rep. Devin Nunes.

Anase alleges that on the Aug. 12, 2015 cruise she could hear sexual activity happening in the yacht’s bedrooms and witnessed men "fondling and suckling" sex workers' breasts — some who appeared to be “too young to consent." At least one of the several John Does listed as defendants allegedly suggested that Anase should also “provide services of a sexual nature."

But she couldn't just leave — she was on the water.

She called the winery seeking help, and a higher-up employee told her to "lie low" to avoid harassment, the lawsuit says.

When the cruise ended, the men “lined the prostitutes up on the deck of the yacht, reviewed out loud and in detail the sexual services performed and paid them in front of Plaintiff,” according to the lawsuit.

The cruise was auctioned off at a charity fundraiser, and the winning bidders aboard the yacht were “important investors in Alpha,” according to court documents....

Finally, a dialogue about the collateral damage on all the students that were injured or killed.

Mike Pence was once Governor of Indiana. To him guns are a political policy and not an issue of governance. Results speak louder than words.

These deaths are a direct result of laws that do not word. Governor Mike Pence never legislated to protect citizens so much as his cronies and their profits. Indiana lives did not matter. This is astounding. Three school shootings and nothing is ever done.

Pence could not legislate without the ALEC blueprints. Do not vote for people demanding legislative templates from ALEC. 

What ALEC has to say (click here)

Mike Pence and Guns (click here)

- Pence has consistently benefited from financial and political support from the gun lobby, receiving tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions and an “A” rating from the NRA.

- As a Member of Congress, Pence repeatedly sided with the gun lobby and voted for legislation that jeopardizes public safety.

- As Governor, Pence enacted a number of extreme gun policies supported by the gun lobby.

- The laws enacted by Governor Pence further undermined Indiana’s already weak gun laws – which pose a dire cost for other states

- On the campaign trail, Pence has defended Trump’s statements inciting violence against Hillary Clinton and other insensitive comments about gun violence in America.

The National cable-news (click here) shows didn’t air Friday’s media briefings about the latest school shooting. The attack in Noblesville, Ind., was the third in just the span of a week, after all. And only two people were shot. Good news, right?

Wrong. Wrong on so many levels. Wrong that we are becoming accustomed to a world in which our children are potential targets. Wrong that we should have to feel grateful only two people were shot. And wrong to believe those two people were the only victims Friday when a student at Noblesville West Middle School opened fire.

Asking for the public’s prayers, the Noblesville police public information officer powerfully made the point that collateral damage extended beyond the student and teacher who were wounded. The children who cowered in closets, tearfully texted their parents, raced down hallways — none of them should have to experience such a calamity. “A lot of kids . . . ” said Lt. Bruce Barnes, “are trying to make sense of this situation.”...

1999 - 2017 Foreign Adoptions in the USA.

Website (click here)

The country with the most USA adoptions is China with 80,162 children. The age and gender is noted in the illustrated facts.

The total children adopted in the USA from foreign countries is 271,831. 

During this period 1130 Mexican children were adopted. South of Mexico is Guatemala where many children come from for American adoptions, a total of 29,806. Then comes Columbia with 4558 adopted children. The least is Argentina which saw two of their children adopted and Uruguay only let one of their children leave their homeland for adoption in the USA.

In the Caribbean Sea the least is Cuba with only one and the most is Haiti with 4294 children. 

I am sure within those statistics are people that were married and adopted their spouses child(ren) and also children that may have come to live with grandparents. 

With 271831 adoptions over 18 years, that is an average of 15,101.72 children. Since children only come in one body and not fractions of one the average is 15,102 children per year.

There are rules:

Hague Convention Text (click here)

HAGUE CONVENTION ON PROTECTION OF CHILDREN AND CO-OPERATION

IN RESPECT OF INTERCOUNTRY ADOPTION

www.hcch.net

The Hague Convention on the Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Inter-Country Adoption (Hague Adoption Convention) is an international agreement to establish safeguards to ensure that intercountry adoptions take place in the best interests of the child. The Convention entered into force for the United States in April 2008. The Hague Adoption Convention applies to adoptions between the United States and the other countries that have joined it. In this section, we provide the keys to understanding how to proceed with a Hague Convention Adoption.

Donald Trump's Border Guards, National Guard and any civilian agency involved in forced removal of children from their natural parents are braking international law. There is absolutely no permission of any country to remove children forcibly from their natural parents. That is a form of genocide.

Anyone that is a member of any armed forces, including the Border Patrol and National Guard PARTICIPATING in the forcible removal of ANY child from their parents is breaking the law and can be court marshaled and/or remanded to the Hague for disposition of their crimes.

Article II of the Genocide Convention (click here) contains a narrow definition of the crime of genocide, which includes two main elements:

1. A mental element: the "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such"; and

2.A physical element, which includes the following five acts, enumerated exhaustively:

- Killing members of the group.

- Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group

- Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part

- Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group

- Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group

From the Joint Chiefs to the Border Patrol and National Guard and civilian agencies; are to cease and desist forcible removal of any child anywhere in the world or continue to be exposed to violations of international law. This is an INDIVIDUAL decision to participate and each and everyone involved in forcibly removing children from their parents are subject to international standards and prosecution.

I find it interesting that Russia is second only to China in presenting children for adoption during this period with 46,113 children. I assume all these adopted children have dual citizenship regardless of the American adoption.

According to RUSSIAN law, (click here) any child adopted from Russia is a citizen of Russia, regardless of any other citizenship he or she may have obtained. As a RUSSIAN citizen, he/she must travel to Russia on a Russian passport, per RUSSIAN law.

When you apply for a visa to travel to Russia, the consulate is *supposed* to advise the parents that the child must travel on their Russian passport and, of course, no visa is needed. There have been many people who have been able to obtain a visa for their Russian adopted children's US passport and have experienced no problems doing this, but, please bear in mind that RUSSIAN law requires the Russian passport. When travelling TO the United States, US LAW requires all US citizens to travel on their US passport.

This is only an issue when travelling to Russia with our kids. If you're not going to Russia, use the US passport. When/if your kids rescind their Russian citizenship, then they will be able to travel to Russia on their US passport, but they will also need *proof* from the Russian consulate that their Russian citizenship was rescinded.

Again, all this is PER RUSSIAN LAW. How it is actually enforced or applied will depend on the mood of the consulate officer or customs official. :)

In order to understand genocide and define it, there needs to be written records and facts. This is a long held understanding and REQUIRES no reinterpretation.

...Part of the difficulty of adoption (click here) and the reason why there is so much paperwork is that it has to be shown that the child to be adopted is in fact an orphan. It is an unfortunate and grim fact that without these procedures in place some people in developing countries might steal children simply to adopt them out to more well-off Americans for profit. This is one of the things that the Hague Convention is specifically concerned with preventing....

...People often wonder why adopt internationally at all? There are many different answers to that question. Some people say that it is easier to do than to adopt within the United States, and while this may be true in some instances, it is certainly not the case in all. Some make the argument that a person adopted from a developing country and raised in the United States will live a better life, but this point is easily argued against. Who's to say that they will be any more or less happy depending upon location? Whether or not they have parents to care for them is probably of greater concern. Some people have very personal experiences abroad and forge close attachments to the people in that country and want to help their residents. Probably one of the more popular reasons is that it is practically impossible for the birth parents to re-unite with the child, something that many adoptive parents consider a plus. Most of the time the birth parents have somehow died, so that in the future there is no risk of a dramatic, confounding or damaging re-emergence....

The children being forcibly removed from their parents at the USA southern border are NOT orphans. These children are citizens of their birth country. They are in legal limbo and I suggest their parents are being intimidated to relinquish any custody if that is taking place and if these children are not returned. The entire idea of destroying a natural family is extremely offensive to nature and the rule of law.

Who is an Orphan? (click here)

Under U.S. immigration law, an orphan is a foreign-born child who:

- does not have any parents because of the death or disappearance of, abandonment or desertion by, or separation or loss from, both parents

OR

-has a sole or surviving parent who is unable to care for the child, consistent with the local standards of the foreign sending country, and who has, in writing, irrevocably released the child for emigration and adoption
