So they had that going for them.

But in the mid 1960's my family hosted a Turkish exchange student. He was Muslim, but what one would call a reformed Muslim. Turkey was still very much a secular state back then. But he occasionally wanted to go to a mosque. The only one in western Detroit area was in Dearborn Heights. So that's where we took him when he wanted to attend. We did the fasting thing with him during Ramadan. The feast at nightfall was fabulous as the whole family pitched in. And we all dug in!! Miray could eat two loaves of bread at one of those meals, so we learned to make an extra trip to the bakery those days.

It was a very joyful year.

And I still like the idea of Orville turning on a spit in his grave, in HELL!

My best to you.

BTW, my family are a bunch of non-believers. It didn't matter whatsoever to us that he was Muslim.

Folks started coming from the Middle East to Dearborn to work for Henry Ford. When Hubbard was trying to keep the AAs out there was a saying: While Orvie was closing the door on the AAs, the Arabs were coming in through the window!

In my very bad Russian, this says: Tramp can't read this sign, but he will do whatever it tells him to do".

In Russian, "Trump" becomes "Tramp". I'm fairly sure of that.

Russian has no "short U" sound. Трамп is correct.

Some might argue for a negative always taking the genetive вывески, but the accusative is fine in this case.

Republicans built that fear and let their presidential candidate spread and promote their parties hate.

"Donald Trump Sucks" in American P.O.W Tap Code

The tap code grid:
K = 2,6

Notice that there is no code in the grid for the letter "K'.
Most users either used the letter C in K's place ("SUCCS&quot
OR they used the code "2,6"

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

An alternate tap code grid:


in which case, the code for K was "2,5"

The tap code grids are based on the Polybius Square, first used by the ancient Greek historian and scholar Polybius.
