Home Means Nevada, at least for now. I am known as a wanderer, but I somehow always end back here in Las Vegas. I heard someone described as a "pragmatic leftist" and I think that's me in a nutshell. I am in the fight for the planet and my grandkids....

Really? I guess I am not talented or good at my job.
Donald Trump argued that there are no talented workers in the U.S. after being cornered by Fox News host Laura Ingraham over allowing high-skilled foreign workers into the country.
Trump Declares U.S. Doesn't Have Talented Workers
The “America First” president also argued for letting foreign workers into the country and took issue with an ICE raid.

This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two.

I haven't seen much about it on the national news, but much of the state government in Nevada has been shut down all week due to an apparent cyber attack. I have been trying to come up with a good conspiracy theory that links that to Trump's apparent disappearance. I am sure someone here can help;-)
