Original post made on Jan 27, 2017

Rain fell in torrents at times in downtown Menlo Park on Jan. 20, the day of President Donald Trump's inauguration. But getting wet did not daunt the 20 or so people who gathered in Fremont Park at 6 p.m. carrying candles that largely remained alight, and battery-powered portable lights.

I lived in Menlo Park, CA! I loved Menlo Park but needed to be closer to my Parents. I loved where I lived with great friends, neighbors, Internal Medical Doctor Sherna Madan, MD who assisted my Husband and myself to have 1 child who was born with no side effects! I am so gracious! Thank you! Dr. Maden, David Hansen!

...no religious Test shall ever be required ....

Yeah, no need for Article 6 of the US Constitution, or any of the rest... after all, Free Speech and Freedom of the Press are highly overrated.

As long as Trump hotels in foreign lands are protected! Web Link

Facebook executives like Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg have criticized Trump's executive order barring Muslims from traveling to the USA, even if they have valid US visa or green cards. Is this criticism from a Menlo Park company going to bring Trump's wrath on our city?

Google isn't in our fair city, yet they "bring it". In this time of Trimp's anti-American actions and bigotry, the Google doodle honors Fred Korematsu.

Look it up.

Verrrrrrrrrrrrrry appropriate to Trump. First they came for the....

Fred Korematsu. An American hero. From Oakland. How about them apples?

Bring it, you egotistical, narcissistic liar.

Trumps numbers keep declining. Might make 2018 interesting.

Korematsu.

Very appropriate. Dark time for 2/3rds of America. Lowest favorables ever for a 2 week presidency.
