The independent journalist who documented U.S. War Crimes in Iraq in 2010 (2 Reuters journalists and 16 Iraqi civilians) was arrested in his home on April 11 2019.

The journalist expressed his free speech, committed no criminal offense and should be released immediately from prison. The attack is an assault on press freedom protected by first amendment.

Trump has shutdown the U.S. government for 20 days, 800.000 workers have not been paid and he says that the government shutdown can last for years if he doesn't get $5.7 Billion in federal funds for the U.S.-Mexican wall, a wall he lied about the funding for during the 2016 Presidential Campaign. It is probably not the best move to shutdown museums if you want to attract tourists to your country.
Representatives from The Norwegian Center for Studies of the Holocaust and Religious Minorities tried to enter a New York exhibition on Indians yesterday and was not able to enter because of the U.S. government shutdown.
The wall is deeply immoral.

Customs and Border Protection agents clashed yesterday with Central American refugees who reportedly bypassed a Mexican police blockade to rush toward a U.S. crossing that leads to San Diego. Officers fired tear gas to repel the migrants from the border fence, causing some to fall and smoke to waft into Mexico.
Senator Brian Schatz, Democrat of Hawaii, writing on Twitter, said "Tear gas across the border against unarmed families is a new low." and "Anyone uncomfortable with spraying tear gas on children is welcome to join the coalition of the moral and the sane. We can argue about other stuff when we've got our country back."

In 2017, Donald Trump signed an executive order to expand the border wall with Mexico and increase the building of detention centers. A memo from top Homeland Security officials published in 2017 outlines the goal to detain 85,000 illegal immigrants per day. Private prison companies benefit from Trump's strict stance on illegal immigrants because they are paid per inmate per day.
All Immigration Detention Centers in the U.S. must free immigrants.
Several of the detention centers housing immigrants are operated by private corporations who have contracts with ICE.
The Varick Federal Detention Facility in Manhattan is one of these privatized detention centers.
Several human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and a series of reports made by the New York Times have cited concerns with ICE's management of these detention centers. Reports refer to instances of human rights abuse and inadequate or unprofessional medical care in these detention facilities. Such reports have also publicized the death of several immigrants in detention and have accused ICE of covering up this information. ICE, in response, has released a list of 166 people who died under ICE detention between 2003-2016.
ICE must free immigrants from these detention centers immediately.

An airline is a company that operates by selling air tickets so people can travel freely from destination to arrival. If you have bought a ticket to the trip, you should be permitted to travel on the ticket you bought freely.
There should be competition between airlines and more air lines than United.
Trump claims that the problem is not that Dao was dragged off the plane, but that airlines should be allowed to pay people compensation to leave the plane, which is a lack of human understanding and fair business logic.
If you buy a plane ticket, you are going to stay on the plane for the entire flight!

The next US president Trump tries to prevent natural economic competition using classical and uneconomical, nationalist and political protection of businesses that would naturally want to flag out from the United States.
National economic protection have historically not resulted in any economic progress in nations that have focused on economic protection and political micromanagement of private companies.
Political governance and ownership in enterprises has previously led to 2 World Wars after the escalation of problems resulting from attempts of political management and control of natural economic processes and economic activity.

Trump har stengt ned USAs føderale myndigheter i 21 dager, 800.000 arbeidere får ikke betalt og han sier at nedstengningen kan vare i flere år hvis han ikke får $5.7 milliarder i føderale bevilgninger til U.S.A-Mexico muren, en mur som han løy om finaniseringen av i presidentkampanjen i 2016. Det er sannsynligvis ikke bra å stenge museumene hvis USA ønsker turister.
Representanter fra Senter for studier av Holocaust og livssynsminoriteter forsøkte å gå på en utstilling om indianere 10. januar 2019 og ble nektet adgang pga. nedstengningen av USAs føderale myndigheter.
Muren er dypt umoralsk.

Hvis du ikke kan være sikker på om du kan fly trygt etter kjøp av flybillett, så ikke fly med United inntil Donald Trump har gått av.
14. april 2017 13:58
President Trump sa at flyselskap ikke bør hindres fra overbooking.
Et flyselskap er et selskap som driver med salg av flybilletter for at folk kan reise fritt fra destinasjon til ankomst.
Hvis du har kjøpt en billett til flytur, skal du få lov til å reise på billetten du kjøpte fritt i et kapitalistisk marked.
Vi skal ha konkurranse på flytrafikk og flere flyselskap enn United.
Donald Trump hevder at problemet ikke er at Dao ble dratt ut av flyet, men at flyselskapene bør få lov til å betale folk kompensasjon for å forlate flyet, som er en mangel på menneskelig forståelse og sunn forretningslogikk.
Dersom man kjøper en billett til en flyreise, så skal flyselskapet transportere passasjeren som har kjøpt og betalt fra avgang til adkomst!
