UNITED STATES TOURISM
~US tourism a victim of Drumpf’s travel ban~
President Drumpf’s travel ban targeting nationals of seven Muslim-majority countries may not have held up in court (twice), but it appears quite successful at keeping plenty of other people out of the United States.
Drumpf’s order brought with it a swift decline in the number of worldwide tourists and travelers looking to visit the United States, say people in the tourism industry. Some say it could be as damaging to the US tourism sector as the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

A Puerto Rican Moment …. “It Happens …. Bandera, Pava & Machete …. PR symbols …. “!!
~~March 27, 2017~~
“PUERTO RICAN-NESS”
These are very recognizable symbols of the Puerto Rican people.
The ‘pava‘ is the straw hat used by the ‘campesinos‘ while working the sugar cane fields using their ‘machetes‘.
The Puerto Rican flag is the utmost symbol of our Island.
The ‘mono-estrellada‘ … one star only.
The Statue of Liberty is also a very important symbol to the Puerto Rican diaspora.
Many Puerto Ricans moved to New York in search of a better life,
(my parents included in the 1930’s).
All memories etched in my mind, heart and soul!

EXTINGUISHED FLAME
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”~Emma Lazarus~
The New Yorker’s Next Cover Features Lady Liberty with Her Light Snuffed Out
“It was the symbol of American values.
Now it seems that we are turning off the light.”
The New Yorker has revealed the cover for its upcoming issue which will feature an image of Lady Liberty with her flame extinguished, a powerful illustration that comes amid the continued fallout from Drumpf’s executive order banning refugee resettlement and travel from seven Muslim-majority countries.

GROPER-IN-CHIEF
“I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her,” Trump says. “You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them.
It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything.”
“Whatever you want,” Bush echoes.“Grab them by the p***y.
You can do anything,” Trump says.

A sexual predator has no business running for president

Under intense questioning from CNN’s Anderson Cooper in the second presidential debate on October 9, Donald Trump categorically denied ever sexually assaulting women. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back for many of his accusers.
Since then, 12 women — all white females — have come forward accusing Trump of forcibly kissing them, fondling their breasts, grabbing their genitals, and forcing himself on them.
The accusations date back from the late 1970’s to 2007.
The accusers include a passenger on a plane, a contestant on The Apprentice, and contestants in the “Miss USA” and “Miss Teen USA” pageant.

Google Doodle for today …. “Google doodle celebrates 130th anniversary of Statue of Liberty’s arrival in New York”!!

Today is the 130th anniversary of Statue of Liberty’s arrival in New York
Lady Liberty is celebrating a big anniversary.
On June 17, 1885 — 130 years ago — the Statue of Liberty arrived in New York harbor.
A gift of friendship from France to commemorate the ideals shared by French and American governments, the statue arrived in New York harbor in more than 300 pieces, according to the National Parks Service.
Google is commemorating the 130th anniversary of the arrival of the Statue of Liberty in New York with doodles in the US and France.
Users of the French search engine are met with a picture of the iconic monument on a ship, with a link below inviting them to “relive the construction of the Statue of Liberty”.
It takes visitors to an interactive timeline of the “exceptional human, artistic and technical adventure” to create it in the 1800’s.
The copper statue was assembled over the course of several months on what was then called Bedloe’s Island, according to the National Parks Service, before being commemorated on October 28, 1886.
The artist who designed the statue, Auguste Bartholdi, said he chose to put the statue on what is now known as Liberty island because of its location in the busy harbor.

“Born in France, made in the USA. Relive the creation of the Statue of Liberty.”
“Nearly 130 years ago, France gifted the US with one of the most prolific symbols of freedom the world over,” Google said in a statement.
“Since then, it has welcomed millions of people searching for a new life on unfamiliar shores.
“Today, the Statue of Liberty is more than just a symbol of solidarity. It’s a reminder that all countries thrive on the exchange of ideas and culture.”
Officially titled “The Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World”, it was a gift from France to the US marking the countries’ friendship and a century of American independence.
It was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, who became fascinated by Bedloe’s Island, now Liberty Island, during a trip to New York in 1871.
He chose it as the location for him to fulfill anti-slavery activist Edouard de Laboulaye’s dream of erecting a commemorative monument for the anniversary of independence, which he had started designing the year before.
Craftsmen started work in France in 1876 and the completed statue was taken apart again to be shipped across the Atlantic aboard French Navy ship the Isère eight years later.
The statue arrived in New York harbor on 17 June to huge crowds but the incomplete pedestal meant the entire structure could not be finished for another year.
On 28 October 1886, the statue of “Liberty Enlightening the World” was officially unveiled, with one million New Yorkers gathering to watch Bartholdi pull to French flag off Liberty’s face.
