14 Provinces Affected by Earthquake, Relief Efforts Underway
This report is based in the information given out by the DDPM, I am not changing the reported size of the earthquake, when it is taken from the quote by DDPM Director-General Phasakorn Boonyaluck provided. Off topic attacks on the article, because of this has been removed. -

Gaza: Hamas releases statement labelling the demonstrators “collaborators” and “traitors”
If you really think that, then it sounds like you're supporting how Hamas is responding to these Palestinians demonstrating against them. Anyone who has values different from yours and expresses them should not be denigrated. It's okay to contradict them and engage them in discussions, and they should definitely not be arrested unless they are committing a crime. -

The left wants to destroy the Greatest country on Earth.
Yes, big difference between what some poster here claims he said and what he actually said. He did not say that he will take Greenland using military force if necessary. -

rather disconcerting - all HOSPITALS! Did the Chinese build these as well? -

I think your timeline perhaps needs to be adjusted? You seemed to have left out at least 100 years. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitutional Convention and all that (the formation of the American Republic) took place well before the "heyday of immigration" you're talking about that began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. That's when most of my relatives showed up. Like yours, I would suspect. The idea that was America existed from the beginning. I'm not too sure about my mom's mother's side of the family. I saw one photo of some of them once, taken in upstate New York sometime around 1850 or 1860. English and French Canadian and German. How and when they came to North America, I'm not sure. My mom's father? Italian. From Calabria. His father immigrated to the US in the late 1880s, to work as a kid. The Erie Canal or maybe on the railroad. He returned to Italy and later brought back an entire family around 1900 or so. A wife and five kids. I think all of the kids died as millionaires, back when a million dollars was a lot of money. So, from poor in Calabria to wealthy and very well educated in America. Not bad. Harvard Law. MIT, that kind of education. Give people an opportunity, and they'll take it. That was America. On my father's side, all Italian. Rome for my father's father and Sicily for my father's mother. They met in America. Lots of uncles and cousins from that side of the family, and they all did very well in America. I'll skip the details, but again, you probably couldn't make that kind of progress anywhere else in the world. -
