Wow, good job fly girl! How's it feel to have your feet on the ground? You put a smile on America's face , listening to a real professional woman, now if you ran for vice president, you would get my vote

[@nancymcallaster9920]

Who the heck doesn't keep track of their firearms & ammo & carelessly travels with either where it's forbidden? Then says oops I forget it was in my bags that I packed when traveling both ways! Then tries to make the country the bad guys for enforcing their countries laws. We expect people traveling to our country to be respectful & comply with our laws instead of saying whoops I forgot I had dangerous items in my baggage, but it's not my fault. I don't get it.

[@girlfromthebronxbywayofelb7288]

Just more proof that it is time for the USA to take gun safety seriously, very seriously. And to the Uvalde families, we will never forget your angels, and will never give up on positive changes. 🗽

Well, I presume he didn't expect to get caught, and when he did "played dumb".. I also 100% agree with you! The last time I flewl, out of Chicago O'Harel, TSA asked me if I packed my own bags before being checked.

Why do people want to travel during tornado season. Not just a regular season, a severe tornado season. Just staycation and explore your local towns. What a tragedy in Haiti. My sincere condolences I can't fathom the pain of this family. My question, Kenya in Haiti? Can someone explain the connection if any?

I wonder if baggage handlers who steal from luggage throw a few shells into the suitcase, so when the traveler retrieves their suitcases, their missing items become the last thing they are worried about. No complaint is generated. The victim is fighting to stay out of prison.

Will they keep the scholarship? If they are getting paid then redirect the scholar ship to academics or something like that. The schools are making enough profit to abosorb that cost and pay the players some extra. So just shift it right.
