I Confronted Donald Trump In Dubai, Democrats Have A Problem With Science, Too, D-Day Landing Scenes: Then And Now, Modern-Day Slavery In America's Prison Workforce, Why Solar Roadways Won't Work The Daily Digg Tuesday, June 3, 2014 TRUMP IS A DICKHEAD (SORRY, NO JOKE HERE) I Confronted Donald Trump In Dubai vice.com Westerners misrepresent Dubai as tacky. This is wounded pride. Dubai is Versailles, not Vegas. It is frozen money. At night, when even the palms twinkle, the city has a heart-soaring grandeur. It looks like the sound of Daisy Buchanan's voice. ACROSS DEN-AISLE Democrats Have A Problem With Science, Too politico.com We shouldn't let them off the hook just because Republicans are worse.

Gulam Ali, left, originally from India, and U.S. Army Spc. Iddrisu Ibrahim, originally from Ghana, right, Monday, June 2, 2014, in Atlanta. The World War II veteran from Alabama is headed to France for D-Day ceremonies, a trip that seemed unlikely just last week. Callander read about ceremonies for the 70th anniversary of D-Day and thought it would be meaningful to go. He hadn't been back to France since landing on Utah Beach during the Battle of Normandy, but he hit a snag when he went to get a passport. Callander was born in Canada to an American mother, and his family moved to the U.S. when he was 3. But he didn't have documentation proving his U.S. citizenship. Federal officials heard his story and on Monday gave him a proof of citizenship certificate so he could get a passport in time to leave for France just hours later.
