If they are so poor why dont they:These Are Photos of My Tennis Pro Over In Choco, Colombia.
He Went There With Tennis Rackets and Gear Donated and/or Bought With Funds From Our Tennis Group Here in Medellin and Where He Plays Professional Team Tennis In Europe.
Choco is the Poorest Area of Colombia - Like Dirt Poor. One Single Coca-Cola is Treat for Them That They Rarely Get. These Rackets Cost More Than What Most of Their Families Make in a Month.
It's Likely Something They Never Imagined They Would Have. It Made These Kids Days When He Showed Up To Where They Play With New Equipment.
Tennis is a Gift That Should Be Enjoyed by All.

Solid advice.
If you have a Combat Veteran in your family and you don’t like their moods and behavior around the holidays; please consider these six things:
1.) Your combat veteran has served in countries where people are blessed to receive a tattered pair of shoes or have clean water to drink; he/she no longer lives the “first world illusion” and no longer cares that if you buy one play station you can get a second one for fifty percent off. In fact, they find it hard to appreciate any of the gluttonous commercialism and overindulgence that permeates American holidays. Standing watch, boring as it was, had so much more purpose than going to the mall.
2.) Your Combat Veteran is thankful for the most basic things; not thankful for mega-sales and million-dollar parades. They are thankful to be alive; thankful to have survived both the wars far away and the wars they struggle with inside.
3.) Your Combat Veteran is thankful that it wasn't them that got killed, but their celebrations are forever complicated by guilt and loss over those that were. Some of the most thankful times in their life were some of the scariest. Their feelings of thanks and celebration often conjure equally painful memories.
4.) Your Combat Veteran is not like you anymore. At some point, for some period of time, their entire life boiled down to just three simple things: when will I eat today, when will I sleep today, and who will I have to kill or will try to kill me today? They are not like you anymore.
5.) Your Combat Veteran does not need a guilt trip or a lecture; they already feel detached in their grief while others so easily embrace the joy of the season. They need understanding and space; empathy not sympathy.
6.) Your Combat Veteran does love his/her family and is thankful for the many blessings in their life…and they are thankful for you.
To all my brothers and sisters of the uniform, know that we all struggle with one thing or another... but as we go into this holiday season, reach out to those you love. You didn't fight alone on the battlefield and we don't have to fight alone now at home suffering in silence.
I feel ALL of this…copied from a fellow combat veteran.

Jack Smith's DC case against Trump is imploding--and with it, so too is the classified documents case.
SCOTUS denying cert today is just the latest blow--March 4 trial date is not doable. Oral arguments at DC appellate court set for Jan 9. Even if they return a quick opinion that upholds denial of presidential immunity from prosecution, Trump's team will file cert petition at SCOTUS. But term ends in June and time is running out.
This is in addition to SCOTUS granting cert in 1512c2 matter--which represents half of Smith's DC indictment against Trump. Those oral arguments could be held in March or April. Legal observers will get a sense of which direction the court will take during that proceeding.
If it appears a majority of the court disagrees with DOJ's application/interpretation of 1512c2, it's doom for Smith.
Now for classified docs case. Judge Cannon, skeptical of Smith's assurances the DC trial would not overlap with May 20 trial in FLA, set a status hearing for March 1. In addition, she also suspended all pretrial deadlines in a very litigious matter (strict rules related to defendants' access to classified evidence).
So what does Smith do now? His hands are tied until immunity issue is resolved. What does he tell Judge Cannon? Will he forsake a very risky case in DC and move to proceed first on classified docs trial? Cannon won't let him push that very far, either.
No good options for Smith--which is very good news.

I have a client who was a POW as a child in the Philippines. His family was put into camps and had little to eat. He said he values every morsel of food even to today.
