Another one bites the dust... Acting Homeland Security Secretary resigns

 

Quote

Kevin McAleenan, the acting secretary of homeland security since April and the fourth person to serve in that post since the Trump presidency began, submitted his resignation to the White House on Friday, President Donald Trump announced Friday.

 

"Kevin McAleenan has done an outstanding job as Acting Secretary of Homeland Security. We have worked well together with Border Crossings being way down. Kevin now, after many years in Government, wants to spend more time with his family and go to the private sector," Trump said. "Congratulations Kevin, on a job well done! I will be announcing the new Acting Secretary next week. Many wonderful candidates!"

 

A source familiar with McAleenan's thinking tells CNN that the acting secretary felt he had accomplished all he could given the political realities of today -- specifically the unlikelihood that any legislative deal on immigration will happen in an election year. Moreover, with the numbers of undocumented immigrants apprehended or turned away at the border coming down for the fourth consecutive month -- 52,546 in September, a 65% drop from May -- the lack of crisis is dissuading members of Congress to act and compromise. McAleenan also has two young daughters and a wife with whom he wants to spend more time.

This is the day I was dreading as a Blues fan...

 

The Blues have 2 Russians and are actually the most Canadian team in the league.The have like 14 Canadians on the roster. I'm pretty sure they only had 2 Americans on the team when they won... and in the off-season they lost an American and added one (who didn't attend, because he wasn't on the team when they won).

 

I'm sad they didn't boycott... but I guess hockey players are too polite. They even dragged Laila along... double barf.
