So....I'm at work today, busy with doing what I do, when...It just sort of pops into my mind...all of a sudden it occurs to me that there's a fair chance of a percentage of people in the hurricane ravaged areas of Texas, and now, Florida, could be undocumented folks. While most of the unfortunate people in the disaster areas can apply for FEMA or Government assistance, I believe any undocumented immigrants won't be able to apply or possibly get any help from State or Federal avenues. If so, ( and I'm not an authority on the legal issues here ), these people have really lost everything.

I dunno how that will play out BUT, if they are here ILLEGALLY, I would suggest that the authorities follow the letter of the law... That seems logical to me...

270,....People need to remember, if you have a smart phone and you can film stuff like this, or any thing improper, PHOTOGRAPH THE LICENSE PLATES, even if you can't clearly see people's faces, your phone movie can be downloaded to the Police to question these assholes.

Liz Crokin is an award-winning author, a seasoned journalist and an advocate for sex crime victims. Liz began her journey at the University of Iowa where she received a bachelor's in journalism and political science. Trump Does The Unthinkable by Liz Crokin Donald Trump is a racist, bigot, sexist, xenophobe, anti-Semitic and Islamophobe -- did I miss anything?....yup&brkbar; he is also deplorable. The left and the media launch these hideous kinds of attacks at Trump every day; yet, nothing could be further from the truth about the real estate mogul. As an entertainment journalist, I've had the opportunity to cover Trump for over a decade, and in all my years covering him I've never heard anything negative about the man until he announced he was running for president. Keep in mind, I got paid a lot of money to dig up dirt on celebrities like Trump for a living so a scandalous story on the famous billionaire could've potentially sold a lot of magazines and would've been a Huge feather in my cap. Instead, I found that he doesn't drink alcohol or do drugs, he's a hardworking businessman. On top of that, he's one of the most generous celebrities in the world with a heart filled with more gold than his $100 million New York penthouse. Since the media has failed so miserably at reporting the truth about Trump, I decided to put together some of the acts of kindness he's committed over three decades which has gone virtually unnoticed or fallen on deaf ears. • In 1986, Trump prevented the foreclosure of Annabell Hill's family farm after her husband committed suicide. Trump personally phoned down to the auction to stop the sale of her home and offered the widow money. Trump decided to take action after he saw Hill's pleas for help in news reports. • In 1988, a commercial airline refused to fly Andrew Ten, a sick Orthodox Jewish child with a rare illness, across the country to get medical care because he had to travel with an elaborate life-support system. His grief stricken parents contacted Trump for help and he didn't hesitate to send his own plane to take the child from Los Angeles to New York so he could get his treatment. • In 1991, 200 Marines who served in Operation Desert Storm spent time at Camp Jejune in North Carolina before they were scheduled to return home to their families. However, the Marines were told that a mistake had been made and an aircraft would not be able to take them home on their scheduled departure date. When Trump got wind of this, he sent his plane to make two trips from North Carolina to Miami to safely return the Gulf War Marines to their loved ones. • In 1995, a motorist stopped to help Trump after the limo he was traveling in got a flat tire. Trump asked the Good Samaritan how he could repay him for his help. All the man asked for was a bouquet of flowers for his wife. A few weeks later Trump sent the flowers with a note that read: We've paid off your mortgage. • In 1996, Trump filed a lawsuit against the city of Palm Beach, Florida, accusing the town of discriminating against his Mar-a-Lago resort club because it allowed Jews and blacks. Abraham Foxman, who was the Anti-Defamation League Director at the time, said Trump put the light on Palm Beach not on the beauty and the glitter, but on its seamier side of discrimination. Foxman also noted that Trump's charge had a trickle-down effect because other clubs followed his lead and began admitting Jews and blacks. • In 2000, Maury Povich featured a little girl named Megan who struggled with Brittle Bone Disease on his show and Trump happened to be watching. Trump said the little girl's story and positive attitude touched his heart. So he contacted Maury and gifted the little girl and her family with a very generous check. • In 2008, after Jennifer Hudson's family members were tragically murdered in Chicago, Trump put the Oscar-winning actress and her family up at his Windy City hotel for free. In addition to that, Trump's security took extra measures to ensure Hudson and her family members were safe during such a difficult time. • In 2013, New York bus driver Darnell Barton spotted a woman close to the edge of a bridge staring at traffic below as he drove by. He stopped the bus, got out and put his arm around the woman and saved her life by convincing her to not jump. When Trump heard about this story, he sent the hero bus driver a check simply because he believed his good deed deserved to be rewarded. • In 2014, Trump gave $25,000 to Sgt. Andrew Tamoressi after he spent seven months in a Mexican jail for accidentally crossing the US-Mexico border. President Barack Obama couldn't even be bothered to make one phone call to assist with the United States Marine's release; however, Trump opened his pocketbook to help this serviceman get back on his feet. • In 2016, Melissa Consin Young attended a Trump rally and tearfully thanked Trump for changing her life. She said she proudly stood on stage with Trump as Miss Wisconsin USA in 2005. However, years later she found herself struggling with an incurable illness and during her darkest days she explained that she received a handwritten letter from Trump telling her she's the bravest woman, I know. She said the opportunities that she got from Trump and his organizations ultimately provided her Mexican-American son with a full-ride to college. • Lynne Patton, a black female executive for the Trump Organization, released a statement in 2016 defending her boss against accusations that he's a racist and a bigot. She tearfully revealed how she's struggled with substance abuse and addiction for years. Instead of kicking her to the curb, she said the Trump Organization and his entire family loyally stood by her through immensely difficult times. Donald Trump's kindness knows no bounds and his generosity has and continues to touch the lives of people from every sex, race and religion. When Trump sees someone in need, he wants to help. Two decades ago, Oprah asked Trump in a TV interview if he'd run for president. He said: If it got so bad, I would never want to rule it out totally, because I really am tired of seeing what's happening with this country. That day has come. Trump sees that America is in need and he wants to help. How unthinkable! On the other hand. have you ever heard of Hillary or Obama ever doing such things with their own resources? Now that's really unthinkable! Might be worth passing on!!!

...Speaking of Politically related stories.....I saw a commercial the other day showing five former Presidents of the United States combining efforts to raise money for the hurricane victims ( Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Obama, George H, and George W. Bush). While all efforts are admirable, it seems that their efforts pale, when compared to the fact that President Trump donated ONE MILLION of HIS OWN MONEY to Texas relief organizations. Hey "former 5", kinda late to the party, aren't you? Both of the Bush's are Texas oil men, and you know they have the dough to match what Trump did, but no, they're trying to raise YOUR dollars. Bill Clinton? 'Don't think the Clintons haven't milked millions from the American public, they can afford to throw a million in....but no, as always, they want more of America's money. Carter, Obama, yeah, right, they can't afford to give back, huh? It's kind of a shame that I've become so skeptical of what should be a good gesture by "the 5", but Trump didn't ask you for donations, he put his hand in his own pocket.

On another topic, but just as obvious to me, is the Walmart commercial that sprang up after hurricane Harvey blew through Texas. Walmart, capitalizing on the attention Texas was getting on the news, shows a commercial touting Texas with photos of the destruction, then ending with type something like, "..Texas..We're standing strong with you...Walmart" Goddamn advertising executives! Where is the heartfelt message in that? I wouldn't be surprised if Walmart follows with a Florida campaign. It's all about connecting the company name to a topic being talked about. Man!

Trump will never get any credit for his donation. I wonder how much that other guy gave? I know he was good at giving other peoples money away.
