Barbara Walters would ask Trump to name states where gas is $1.99 a gallon.
Walter Cronkhite would ask Trump which schools change a student’s gender without parent permission.
Dan Rather would ask Trump where they are performing after birth abortions.
That was better journalism
Spent some time with new friends at Hamilton Elementary School in North Kingstown today. We did some reading and made plans for a new student government (maybe, if the grown-ups agree)!
For the life of me, I’ll never understand how “Christian” Conservatives worship a guy who cheated on his pregnant wife with a porn star, was found liable for rape, mocks their faith, and quite literally thinks he’s God.
Joe Biden? A devout Catholic who’s in church every time the doors open—and actually lives his faith. And they hate him for it.
The mental gymnastics it takes to justify this could win gold in the Olympics.
😡 My 20-year-old son (who turns 21 next month) was driving home to Indiana from Florida today—a grueling 19-hour trip. But guess what? Not a single @Marriott or @HiltonHotels in northern Florida or Georgia along I-75 would let him check in to sleep for the night. Even though I offered to prepay with my credit card, they all refused, citing “company policy” that prohibits anyone under 21 from checking in without an "adult."
I have some serious questions:
1. How is it that you can pay taxes and even go to war at 18, yet Marriott and Hilton don’t consider you old enough to check into a hotel room with a guaranteed credit card?
2. Isn’t this age discrimination? What if they told a 90-year-old they were too old to check into a hotel alone?
3. Is it really reasonable to force a 20-year-old to sleep in his car on the side of the road or drive all night? Am I supposed to fly to Florida and drive home with my son—who is old enough to fight for his country—just to keep him - and others on the road- safe?
What am I missing here? 🤔
