Would like to thank countries from Iceland to Botswana, from Lake Baikal to Loch Lomond, for letting me visit their scenic destinations for much lower fees than this.
Next year, day passes will cost $100 per person for international visitors at the 11 most popular national parks: Acadia, Bryce Canyon, Everglades, Glacier, Grand Canyon, Grand Teton, Rocky Mountain, Sequoia & Kings Canyon, Yellowstone, Yosemite and Zion. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

The national parks will also be free next year to residents on eight holidays, including President Donald Trump’s birthday.

It's almost like we're just pretending to be on Ukraine's side while actively working to sabotage them.
6. Repeatedly, Trump has restricted how Ukraine is allowed to use its US arms, mostly not allowing Ukraine to attack Russia proper. The US has also restricted how Ukraine is allowed to use arms given by European countries that contain US technology.

This is similar nonsense to how the Trump admin talks about addressing historic backlogs in the immigration courts.
The solution to backlogs are to hire more judges and staff, not to abolish due process. It’s not that hard!

Cristiano Ronaldo has magically had his ban reduced so he can start the World Cup. There is no precedent...but then he met the President. How depressing...
