there was an editor at asic veaux who said he was thinking of conditioning some regional history of the united states. he had thought so we have lunch and i asked him what are you thinking about and he said well if history of the american south. and history of the american west. okay and the list kind of ran out after that he would have the history of the upper midwest or a history, i can see new england. so it seemed like a good idea at the time and i still think it was a good idea. he left basic veaux when the book was halfway done and this had happened to me when i was at asic books before. they reassured me that this wasn't going to happen again but nonetheless i had been asked to write this book and i was actually quite pleased because i had already delves into western history with a book called lone star nation and a book on california about the california gold rush called the age of gold. i've been thinking about writing it third volume to finish up the trilogy. so i had been thinking about it and that mentioning how to do it and i said i will do the luminary searches into this b

and let me say, it's not on asic but i will answer, secretary mnuchin and i spoke this morning and this afternoon, we will be getting together in the secretary's office. we see no reason why we cannot come to an agreement. we democrats believe that we need relief for small businesses but also to the people who are under banked and underserved, many of the small businesses that don't have a connection to a larger bank are not getting help. we need more money, but some parts of the programs that are most important are out of money and have not been included in the republican proposal. and we think there's just as much need for hospitals and for ourare workers, and police, fire, people in the for hospitalsnt and state and local governments are in as big of a crisis as small business. and they need help or we are going to have millions of people out of work. and in addition to that, the reason why this is so important in the next package is that we are going to continue to have to fora lot of money out there hospitals, small businesses, individuals who are unemployed, schools for the entire

the disclosures of maria monk, asics exposÉ -- the beginning of the fake news i suppose, that told ofe abuse and infanticide catholic conference. in the 1880s, companies sold goods with xenophobic messages such as the one that used to be active picking of chinese immigrants that ran laundry as a way to promote laundry deterge detergent. we have no use for them since we've got this wonderful washer. what a blessing to tired mothers. it costs so little. the fine print also assures the users that the detergent will not turn the clothing yellow. these ways of selling the xenophobia through products or three books doesn't compare at all to the profits made today running public and private immigrant detention centers. the department of homeland security manages the largest detention system in the world. it spends more on immigration enforcement and all other federal enforcement agencies combined. more than $18 billion a year. two private companies the corporation of america also known as cbo and ge zero groups have also cashed in with a combined revenue of over $5.3 billion. the center for
