Miller: immigrants didn’t build empire state building
Donald Trump’s senior White House aide Stephen Miller pushed a bonkers, racist claim after he suggested that he could spot someone’s immigration status just by looking at a picture of them. And then he said, "if you look at photos of the Empire State Building being constructed you know what you don’t see there? Any illegal aliens," Miller told Fox News.
If you are gay, and you leave the country, you could have trouble coming home again

Gays debate the age-old question of who should pay on the first date
Despite the sensibility of an even split, respondents who advocate for a strict egalitarian approach are in the minority. There are many nuances at play, including common courtesy. If one person orders an expensive steak and the other nibbles on appetizers, splitting the check doesn’t seem so fair.

Kids don’t need college, they have YouTube
"You can also get the same wisdom and the same teaching free and accessible online, listening to podcasts, listening to long YouTube form videos. In fact, I believe that if you listen to Joe Rogan’s podcast with some of the historians, if you listen to some of the deep dives that some of these top thinkers do, you’re going to actually learn a lot more about Roman history. You’re going to learn a lot more about Western civilization than if otherwise, if you were stuck in some sort of sociology class."
