Re: Haiti collapse
Maybe the D.R should start shoring up their border defenses and patrols 'just in case' then. There was an article about DR denying entry to Haitian refugees, so they already may be upping patrols. I was never sure how the island was split and how porous the border actually is. I know there's offici...

Re: Haiti collapse
The UN stepped in as a result of the 2004 Haitian coup d'état. This is no different conceptually. Do I expect anything to happen? Probably not. I don't remember the UN being much use during that 2004 mess. I could be wrong. Either way, I do not see the UN going in with "peacekeepers" in a...

TIL If I go to bed at 8pm, it really helps to have the cellphone in the bedroom with me so I hear the alarm in the morning.
Thankfully I realized it wasn't there about 2am when I woke up and wanted to know what time it was.

THis bill needs killed off ASAP.
Not because it affects me, I don't TikTok.
Simple because I don't like the PRECEDENT it will set, allowing Congress to go after Social Media.
