The Trump administration has not installed a single mile of new wall in a previously fenceless part of the U.S.-Mexico border in the 30 months since President Trump assumed office, despite his campaign promise to construct a “big beautiful wall.” In a statement last week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the federal agency overseeing border barrier construction, confirmed that all the fencing completed since Trump took office is "in place of dilapidated designs" because the existing fence was in need of replacement.

Miss Michigan stripped of title over 'offensive' social media posts 13 ON YOUR SIDE Staff, ABC News 7 hrs ago Puerto Rico governor won't seek reelection amid firestorm This is the credit score you need to take out a mortgage © Provided by TEGNA Inc.The 2019 Miss World America Michigan winner was stripped of her title because of comments she made on social media about Muslim women and black people, she said. According to ABC News, Miss World America told Kathy Zhu that her “offensive, insensitive and inappropriate” posts violated the organization's rules and conditions. Zhu shared Miss World America's emails to her on Twitter. “Therefore, and effective immediately, MWA does not recognize you as a participant of any sort or in any capacity as it relates to any and all events of MWA,” the email read. According to ABC News, one of the Twitter posts read, “Did you know that the majority of black deaths are caused by other blacks? Fix problems within your own community first before blaming others.” The other read,” There is a ‘try a hijab on’ booth at my college campus. So you’re telling me that it’s now just a fashion accessory and not a religious thing? Or are you just trying to get women used to being oppressed under Islam?” That one was posted on World Hijab Day in 2018. Both have been deleted. Zhu is the vice chair of the University of Michigan's College Republicans group and she is a Donald Trump supporter. She said she was discriminated against by the organization and the tweets were "statistics and facts." ABC News reached out to Miss World America for comment but did not get a response.

Saw this earlier. Some here have mentioned how parts of history have been left out or purposely altered in education.... "In school we learned about Adolf Hitler killing 6 million Jews. Just a few decades prior, King Leopold II of Belgium killed over 10 million Africans (Congolese.) I never knew his name or anything about those atrocities until I did research after I graduated. Why is that?" twitter.com Olivia Rondeau @rondeaulivia · 2h I went to public high school in a small white rural town then boarding school + online school. No ghetto schools were attended. Most sources say that about 11 million were killed but 6 million were Jewish. Also that’s besides the point. Quote Tweet 4 • TweetSake @TrumpTweety · 2h Replying to @rondeaulivia He did NOT kill 6 million jews Hitler killed 3 million ethnic Poles and 3 million jews You went to a ghetto school twitter.com
