This small town, devastated by floods, welcomed Syrian immigrants. They're now paying it back.
The structures, built of gray stone, and the history they evoked, reminded him of the timelessness and architecture of his hometown, Sweida, in southern Syria. He soon bought a house here, in 2013, then opened Syriana Cafe & Gallery, in 2016, and came to view everything about Ellicott Citys people their kindness and decency as an antidote to the fear others were expressing over Syrian immigrants like him.
So when floods again ripped through here in May, killing a Maryland National Guardsman, closing businesses up and down its historic district and producing images of destruction recalling the floods of 2016, he vowed to do anything he could to help a community that had become his own.
The result of that vow came to fruition Saturday at Syriana, where he presented the city with a check for $10,000, which he had raised from Syrian Americans from all over the country who had seen the destruction and wanted to show their gratitude not just to Ellicott, but also to the United States for accepting them.

Today's motto which the GOP never gets: Truth has a liberal bias.
The entire Kavanaugh nomination was an attempt to change reality. Nominating an unqualified sex offender to roll back Roe Vs Wade and provide protection for Trumpy's crimes goes against everything the country claims to stand for. The GOP continues to sink to new lows.

New York library lends out ties, briefcases and handbags for job interviews
And starting last month, a New York library branch began experimenting with new offerings: neck ties, bow ties, handbags and briefcases intended for people with limited resources who are heading for job interviews, auditions or any other events for which they need to dress up.
They can use it for a school performance, or prom if they want a tie, said young adult librarian Michelle Lee, who came up with the idea for the Riverside branch of the New York Public Library. It doesnt matter what size you are, anybody could use them.
The concept came to her in 2016 when she was teaching a free class at the library about job seeking and résumé making. She told the high school students in attendance: You want to look professional. You shouldnt be bringing a backpack to a job interview."

Poland used to be okay with Trump. Then, he posted a photo.
Yet, somehow, Trump managed to offend the Poles so deeply that the fallout was all over Polish news sites on Wednesday morning.
What happened? At the end of their meeting, the two leaders agreed to sign a strategic partnership pact to boost defense, energy, trade and security ties. But what could have been a peaceful moment for both presidents immediately took an awkward turn.

Let's see if got this right, Kavanaugh assaulted a girl in high school and that means:
1. The Democrats should have done something
2. The Washington Post should have investigated more.
3. Diane Feinstein is the devil.
4. The Democrats are to blame.
Sorry, but lots of transparency here in GD today.
