White racism, not a June 2 videotaped rape by refugees from strife-torn
tribal cultures, is causing the growing civic protest in Twin Falls, Idaho,
according to KMVT, the main local TV station.
The pitch was delivered with the help of Nancy Taylor, who is a local
advocate for greater immigration.
I believe that there is a very small group in Twin Falls, very small and
vocal, who, for lack of a better word, are racist … A little girl was
assaulted, and just because people of c... 阅读全帖 |

Trump tail risk?
A new note from Citigroup Inc. says that while the firm still puts the
probability of Hillary Clinton securing the U.S. presidential election at 65

事件一

大雪的尾声。然后芝加哥机场直接说飞不了，这也可以理解，但是人家把我们的机票改
