@the Ellis Island Award recipients

Interesting list. I see they knew Donald Trump was of German descent ;)

Because I had a few moments to spare (whilst waiting for an important email), I popped a few of the names I'm less familiar with into a search engine. I get curious about stuff. I can't help it. I call it research.

It's a very mixed group. I'll disregard the IRA supporter because whilst they were a terrorist organisation, they were considered freedom fighters by many. Of my list of unknowns, this one caught my eye:

NEW YORK (AP) _ Two weeks before James Tamer was named one of 80 Ellis Island Medal of Honor winners, he was nominated for a more dubious honor - inclusion in the Nevada Gaming Commission’s ″Black Book″ of undesirables.

Tamer, described Wednesday by those who awarded the medals as a ″Lebanese activist,″ was described Thursday by law enforcers as having been a Mafia front man and a convicted bank robber

If I carry on being curious and am not too busy... I could keep up the researching, but I'm thinking it might get a bit... frowned-upon by some of us ;)

Ex-CIA chief schools Trump on what it means to be "presidential"
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/401560-john-brennan-rips-trump-on-twitter-about-what-it-mean-to-be

In response to Trump’s attack on the former White House aide, Brennan said on Twitter: “You’re absolutely right.”
“If you were ‘presidential,’ you would focus on healing the rifts within our Nation,” Brennan continued, “being truthful about the challenges we face, & showing the world that America is still that shining beacon of freedom, liberty, prosperity, & goodness that welcomes all.”

Yes:)
He got his Ellis Island Medals of Honor in 1986.
Still Trump was so ashamed of his German ancestors so that in 1987 he stated in the book "The Art of the Deal" that he was from Karlstad, Sweden instead of the German city of Kallstadt.

Trump senior advisor, Stephen Miller called a hypocrite by his uncle. ‘Immigration hypocrite’: Stephen Miller’s uncle lambastes him in scathing op-ed

Had the very same immigration policies his nephew “so coolly espouses” been in effect at the turn of the 20th century, when the family’s patriarch, Wolf-Leib, left the small village of Antopol to escape persecution of Jews, Miller’s ancestors would have been “wiped out” before they could make it to America, Glosser wrote. They would not have been able to sell goods out of a horse-drawn wagon in Johnstown and grow the business into a haberdashery and, years later, to a supermarket chain and discount department stores run by the next generation of Glossers, including Izzy, Miller’s maternal grandfather.

“I would encourage Stephen to ask himself if the chanting, torch-bearing Nazis of Charlottesville, whose support his boss seems to court so cavalierly, do not envision a similar fate for him,” Glosser wrote.

HERO and HEROEs

Two HIGHLY USED and INCLUSIVE Words.

Two WORDs said by Many, about Many.

There are MANY HEROEs, if Pictured Together or Physically Sharing a Space, with Another HERO, would CRINGE and Want to RUN FOR dA HILLs(a UNHEROIC Act, by dA Way), due to Certain HEROs having Their LIFE DISSECTED, with NO BIAs, or MASSIVE BIAs, and Seemingly DIMINISHING Most Definitions of HERO.

A CONUNDRUM fO dA AGEs.

It is ALL POLITICs, LIFE EXPERIENCE, mixed with HUMILITY, and Poured Into Each ONEs SOUL, determining WHO is Your HERO.

NONETHELESS.

Perhaps Trump doesn't realize, among many other things, that although they both begin with the letters K & a. They are not the same :-D

He very well knows his family background.
And the story started with his grandfather Friedrich who refused to serve his military service in Bavaria, Germany and was forced to leave the country before he should have been deported.
History repeat itself...
But his grandfather Friedrich had more severe medical conditions than Don had and more reasons to stay out the army.

The World's No 1 con artist hates tapes but loves twitter. :-)

But can someone learn him about time zones.

Does he thinks the earth is flat!

Naw, he thinks everyone else is there to serve him. :-)

moomin... Friedrich would have been deported to what country?
From which Country did Friedrich immigrate from?
Or is this just another example of Google Translate [sic] :)

LOL:)
You can even read his story in english without using Google Translate.

Oh is it UK english or US english?
I know there is a difference but what?

My mistake :(

No need to be sorry:)
The present president of the USA should however be.

.........do I recall a similar 'disassociation' by the British Royals in the early 1900s......?

Their laundry could be said to be a little off-colour, yes... actually quite a lot off-colour

I can recall similar 'disassociations' in the US in the early 1900s as well.
How about Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh?
What's your point?

The 'point' my dear moomin, is that it's only a SCANDAL when Trump is involved, but not for other notables...........

In America where you originated and what comprises your roots are, or should be, secondary to what you are. That's why it's called a melting pot........one homogeneous alloy from many ingredients. Stronger than it's components because of the process of blending.

We get to have a lot of scandals here it's just there their impact isn't quite as global as often I think.

So why having an Ellis Island Medals of Honor at all?

A: some jackass felt slighted at some other medal recognition and demanded one for himself. If you had read how these "awards" came to exist you would already know that answer.

The Nobel Peace Prize comes to mind:)
