UGLY VETERAN INJUSTICE



A group of U.S. military veterans has been deported to Mexico and ordered never to return.  The veterans are Mexican nationals who came to the United States on “green card” visas, joined the military and served honorably.  They now hang out in the Deported Veterans Support House in Tijuana. 

COMMENTS:
They were told that, although they served us honorably, they were on “green Card’ status and had to be deported; there was no consideration of their duty or sacrifice to America.  And here we are, allowing undocumented illegal aliens into our country who’ve never done a thing for us and many of whom are convicted criminals.  Isn’t it time we fixed things? Have we no scruples? 
 
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. How do you feel about the U.S. turning over the Internet Domain Naming System to foreign control?  (Park ~ San Francisco, CA)
A. It ostensibly is not going to be under foreign control, just not OUR control.  It will be under the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, IANA, which in turn is under various nations, businesses and tech gurus.  Assuming that everything is on the “up and up,” my response is this: we built it with our dollars and tax dollars and we should keep it; if other nations don’t like it, why don’t they go and build their owned damned Internet?  I, like Trump, am sick and tired of this country giving everything away.   

Q. I just heard it is illegal to own, possess or sell ivory within the state of California. I own an antique piano that has ivory keys.  Could I be fined or jailed?  (Leno ~ San Martin, CA)
A. California Penal Code section 653o makes it illegal “to possess with intent to sell, or to sell within the state, the dead body, or any part or product thereof, of any polar bear, leopard, ocelot, tiger, cheetah, jaguar, sable antelope, wolf (Canis lupus), zebra, whale, cobra, python, sea turtle, colobus monkey, kangaroo, vicuna, sea otter, free-roaming feral horse, dolphin or porpoise (Delphinidae), Spanish lynx, or elephant.” So, if you have a trophy head mounted on your wall or ivory keyboards on your piano, you’re okay unless… you even think about selling it, because then you have intent to sell.  Whether or not your spouse qualifies as being a whale I’ll leave up to you and the courts to decide. 

Q. Where does Hillary and her Clinton mafia get off wondering about Paul Manafort’s connections to the Russians when she and John Podesta are in the thick of the scandal of selling off U.S. uranium deposits to Russia for private gain?  (Ziggy ~ Carson, CA)
A. The saying is that it takes a good offense to put up a good defense and God knows that Hillary has one helluva pile of crap to defend.  She’s trying to deflect attention from the Clinton Foundation.   Do you suppose that, should she get elected, she’ll make mistakes and blame Obama?
