She lives in California and called to share with me her big shot at something really exciting that put her on track for everything she's worked hard and dreamt of for a long time. She started as LA's first Spanish-language TV weather forecaster.

Common knowledge points to hate as a learning process, which I not only believe, but I have met a few individuals who never missed a lesson and have shown little class.

Do you remember when the leader of the Republican Party called the continent of Africa "shithole" counties during a meeting and asked why the USA can't have more immigrants from Norway, which by the way has now joined NATO? https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/01/shithole-countries…
