| It ALL comes down to Congress, that alone has the power to provide funds requested by border control AND to change the laws for the asylum process (it is well known by migrants that once you say you are claiming asylum you MUST, by US law, be patrolled back into the U.S. until your hearing, during w... |

| According to Farron Cousins (who does have a Law education) trump can’t appeal the decision and here’s why: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/Su18uYXX4CpAS3cF/?mibextid=KsPBc6 I’ve heard rumblings in that direction but the lawyers I follow aren’t convinced. She limited appeals, in their opinion, but... |

| We included my son in all our discussions about evaluation, from entering the process to conclusion, but in pretty simple and labeless language. Once we had the label, we were able to basically remind him of how we’d been trying to find out why he struggled with some things, and to understand how hi... |

| I don’t know that particular school, but in the U.S., at least, trends have been away from single sex schools towards coed ones for the simple reason that students increasingly prefer coed schools and a school can’t maintain its exclusive reputation if it doesn’t have enough excess applications to r... |

| But if Trump doesn't pay, wouldn't Ms. Carroll have a lien on his properties? That might give him pause for thought. As long as it is under appeal, nothing is usually paid. Beyond that: Appeals often reduce the dollar amount. Trump himself doesn’t own much of anything directly, it is all held throu... |

| I’m happy that Ms. Carroll got her vindication in court, twice, but she will never see the money and it could help Trump’s election prospects more than hurt them. We’re in a weird time right now where is up is down and right is left; the butterfly effects are wild. For every visible trend in a healt... |

| Haven’t read all 5 pages, just sharing my reaction to the proposal: Mandates on such highly personal matters are always wrong. Period, end of story. What is right for one person could be disastrous for another, I don’t care what lofty long term goal you think the mandate can help achieve. The whole ... |

| We very much wanted both our kids. We did it for no one but ourselves, even though it certainly changes you free time, your finances, and how/where you travel. Life is richer when you re-live it through a child’s eyes. It’s just “more,” both good and bad. Amazing memories of getting so much joy just... |

| My hope is that your child might be able to give you the necessary feedback. With my son, he was always the best source on himself, even if understanding what he was telling me took some extrapolation -and patience - on my part. We did a LOT of situation autopsies. If your child has trouble talking ... |

| If your parents are not your guardians, then you should have the right to get your social security in your own name, deposited to an account that you control. Negotiate with your parents for how much of it to pay them for room and board, and the rest should be yours to control. It probably won't be ... |
