The fiery crash shut the bridge down for more than 24 hours.
The husband and wife occupants of the car that slammed into the U.S.-Canada border crossing in a fiery explosion on the Rainbow Bridge Wednesday have now been identified.
Kurt P. Villani and his wife Monica Villani, both of Grand Island, New York, were killed in the crash, the Niagara Falls Police Department said Friday. Both were 53 years old.
"The incident is currently under investigation by the NFPD Crash Management Unit, no further details are available at this time," the police department said in a statement.

If you support Greg Abbott and what's going on in Texas, I want you to be forced to drag yourself through the Rio Grande after it's been filled with razor wire, and if you get across, I want you to be kicked back in.

The U.S. is ending its COVID-19 vaccine requirements for international air travellers and Canadians at the border as of next week, officials announced on Monday.
By the end of the day on May 11, international air travellers, federal employees and federal contractors will no longer need to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination, the White House said in a statement Monday
[...]
The statement added that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, along with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, will also “start the process to end their vaccination requirements for ... certain noncitizens at the land border."

June 1989. Kuhmo, Finland. Agfa Agfamatic 100 camera (126 film format), Kodak film.
Probably near Rajakangas border crossing point. Stern warnings against approaching the Soviet Union. Nowadays, they still have the warnings, despite nobody in their right mind wanting to go to Russia in the first place, har har har.

Women at the Wall
At “Friendship Park” on Sundays people are allowed to approach the border wall from the US side to meet with family and friends on the Mexico side. In recent years, a fine metal mesh netting was installed to prevent people from holding hands and touching. Now, families and loved ones can only touch fingertips. 
Still, Sundays are usually busy with visitations, large families and during my visit, well-attended protests against the Remain in Mexico policy.
In 1973 when the park was officially inaugurated by then-First Lady Pat Nixon, and there were just a few strands of barbed wire between families, she said, “I hope there won’t be a fence here too long.”

The pundits say that border state, and now Florida, governors are engaging in political stunts by transporting all these illegal border crossers -- the same illegals sent to their states by the Biden administration -- to self-proclaimed sanctuary cities. This sentiment begs the question: how isn't it a political stunt for this presidential administration to purposely NOT defend the border, and signal to every potential illegal border crosser that you'd be allowed to stay in the US if you just make it across the border? How is that not using illegal border crossers as political pawns?! They've been secreting border crossers to all parts of middle America under cover of darkness damn near since the Biden administration took over. They have utterly and completely slapped the face every person waiting in line to become a legal immigrant. They have opened our borders to terrorists, narcotics trafficers, human trafficking, and every other sort of miscreant. These people coming here over the border all willy-nilly is proof positive that this administration is the most derelict in my lifetime!

Country star John Rich came under fire on social media after sharing a post from another account on X, formerly Twitter, incorrectly calling the incident an "attempted terrorist attack" which he blamed on "open borders."

I don't think people truly understand the gravity of Rafah being bombed.
There is nowhere left to go.
The lowest cost is $5,000 USD to flee to Egypt. There has been people paying over $10,000 USD.
That is the only option
Pay or die.
Rafah was the only place in Palestine promised not to be bombed. That promise is broken.
1.5 million people have nowhere to go!
Reminder, if possible, please donate to the PCRF, ANERA, Islamic Relief, Palestine Red Crescent Society, Medical Aid for Palestinians, Defense for Children International - Palestine, Doctors Without Borders, and all other trusted organizations.
