I've always liked him, since long before he became a…

That's how I feel as of this writing. Trump is making strong efforts to reduce or outright eliminate some of our National Parks and Monuments.…

Don't force your children to hug relatives over the holidays?
Personally, I think this is going way too far, but curious to hear what others think. As one person commented on the article, they weren't raised to show physical affection amongst relatives, and they now have no memories of hugging their grandparents.
