The Trump administration has decided to go old school by bringing back bread and circus (here is $5,000 and a public execution). The golden escalator entrance should have warned us all.

How about we just ask each person who shows up at the boarder "Visiting or moving here?" If visiting stamp a visa into there passport, if moving a provisional green card and an appointment to work with INS about becoming a citizen. Saves a lot of $ on enforcement and think of the taxes raised.

So after much bluster and chest thumping Trump has discovered the 1951 Defense of Greenland Treaty. Perhaps the trade fight with Canada can be resolved as quickly but I think $7 diesel will be a lasting gift from the Orange one.

Cervical cancer can be avoided with testing for precancerous cells and, even better, with vaccines to prevent HPV, which causes most of the cell abnormalities. Here's what to know as guidelines have changed and new testing options have become available.
