About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

OMG Check out Portland protest! If we were ranking cities on the best protesters, Portland would win every single time. They never let us down. Also, can we make this viral because they are definitely suppressing this information on other social media platforms?

Singapore maintains "a presence" in Mountain Home, according to this article: www.aol.com/articles/heg...

But I don't know what that means. Maybe someone in the Air Force can help us out here?

The move is a sign of increasingly close ties between the U.S. and Qatar.

For those doing the #paperclip thing, here in Canada packaging is in English and French, and I hope you enjoy knowing that they are called trombones as much as I do.

Paperclips are called trombones in French Canadian.
