Your life is powered by a fear of shaving but you have to shave every day… after that, by domino theory, civilization hangs on by a whisker. A hero can be a migratory cheer of the heart just before being shot down in flight by second thoughts, a hero one day a dead duck the next (posted earlier). Happy Birthday, Daneen.

Today is the 71st anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz by the Red Army. 1.1 million people, primarily Jewish, were put to death by the Nazis in the prison camp, gassed and incinerated.
Approximately six million Jews were systematically murdered in Nazi concentration camps in World War ll, between 1939 and 1945. Before the Holocaust, the pre-war Jewish population (and as early as 1933) in Europe was approximately 9.5 million. By 2012, Europe's Jewish population was approximately 1.4 to 1.6 million. The world's Jewish population is approximately 14.2 million people. About half of the world's Jewish population lives in the U.S. - Sources: BBC, NerLeElef/Judaism Online, Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum web site, Wikipedia, Jewish Virtual Museum.

21st Century consensus: those children born to U.S. citizen-parents in foreign countries qualify as natural born Citizens. So a child born in a foreign country to American parents or parent can become president of the United States of America. Presidential eligibility is considered a "non-justiciable political question" that might possibly be a Congressional question and not a question for the U.S. Supreme Court. - Wikipedia Within Article II of the U.S. Constitution (abridged): "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States" can become president. Other requirements included in Article II: The president has to be of the "Age of thirty-five Years and had been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States." - The World Almanac 2015 & Wikipedia Please give to the Shriner's Hospitals: 2425 Stockton Boulevard/ Sacramento, California, 95817/ 916-453-20000/ and 3551 North Broad Street/ Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19140/ 215-430-4000 |
