We all remember that part of the Gospels where Joseph goes to the Egyptian consulate to make sure their refugee status has been approved and then leaves with the visas and documentation in hand so they could present them to the officials working the border checkpoint.

Trump's deal to sell TikTok won't just enrich his billionaire pal Larry Ellison.
It also gives UAE investment firm MGX — a key business partner of the Trump family's crypto company — a major ownership stake and board seat at TikTok.
Everything is for sale.

Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'
President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."
