I've been seriously looking into the same. However, most options are costly or require jumping through a ton of red tape. But then I found this gem. Any chance you have any ancestors from Luxembourg?

 

Luxembourg Dual Citizenship

 

"Foreigners of Luxembourg descent with a direct ancestor who was with the Luxembourg nationality on January 1, 1900 may reclaim the nationality based on Article 29 of the law. It is to be mentioned that this particular option will expire on December 31, 2018"

 

 

 

I have relatives in Luxembourg... But I think our ancestor in common emigrated from Denmark.

Bummer. But it still might be worth looking into. I joined FamilySearch.org (it's free) over the weekend, mostly to look for any Luxembourg connections (my last name happens to be the 8th most common in that country), but also just because I'm fascinated the the whole genealogy/family history aspect. I've been able to trace my family all the way back to my 14th great-grandfather in southern Germany. He was born, get this, in 1485! Blows my mind.

Must be rich folk, getting their name written down somewhere in 1485 and all.

Apparently "Big Brother" is still a show and Omorosa is a contestant.  On tonight's episode she is whispering how fearful she is of the direction Trump is taking the country as she tries to build an "alliance".

 

 

 

 

 

.....and I'm not joking

Yet she worked for him until they literally dragged her out of there.

 

Omarosa is a complete & utter joke. From what I can tell the vast majority of the African American community disowns her.

As evidenced by Robin Roberts on GMA.

Yahoo News articles - if you can call them that are typically around National Inquirer status. However this one I thought was insightful

Quoted in part:

Feb. 21, 1992

On NBC’s “Nightly News,” Trump defended boxer Mike Tyson, who was convicted of raping Desiree Washington, Miss Black Rhode Island, in an Indianapolis hotel room the year before. Tyson was sentenced to six years in prison.

“It’s my opinion that, to a large extent, Mike Tyson was railroaded in this case,” Trump said. “You have a young woman that was in his room, his hotel room late in the evening at her own will. You have a young woman who was seen dancing for the beauty contest [the next day], dancing with a big smile on her face, looked happy as could be.”

March 29, 2016

After his campaign manager Corey Lewandowski was charged with misdemeanor battery following an altercation with Breitbart News reporter Michelle Fields, Trump questioned the injuries she sustained when she reported the incident to police.

“How do you know those bruises weren’t there before?” Trump told reporters aboard his campaign plane. The then Republican candidate also questioned the closed-circuit television footage of the altercation.

“To me, you know if you’re going to get squeezed, wouldn’t you think that she would have yelled out a scream or something?” he said. “Take a look at her facial expression — her facial expression doesn’t even change.”

Trump refused to criticize Lewandowski, who claimed, despite video evidence, that he “never touched” and had “never even met” Fields.

“I’m sticking up for a person because I’m not going to let a person’s life be destroyed,” Trump said.

July 23, 2016

After Fox News chairman Roger Ailes resigned in the wake of host Gretchen Carlson’s sexual harassment lawsuit, Trump issued a full-throated defense of the disgraced executive.

“I can tell you that some of the women that are complaining, I know how much he’s helped them,” the then Republican nominee said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “And when they write books that are fairly recently released, and they say wonderful things about him. And now all of a sudden they’re saying these horrible things about him.”

“It’s very sad,” Trump lamented. “Because he’s a very good person. I’ve always found him to be just a very, very good person. And by the way, a very, very talented person. Look what he’s done. So I feel very badly.”

Oct. 13, 2016

Trump lashed out at more than a dozen women who accused him of various forms of sexual misconduct.

“These people are horrible people,” Trump said at a rally in Florida. “They’re horrible, horrible liars. And it happens to appear 26 days before our very important election.”

He also threatened to sue the New York Times for printing a story about one of his accusers, suggesting the woman was part of a conspiracy by the Times and Hillary Clinton to derail his campaign.

“You take a look. Look at her,” Trump said, suggesting one of his accusers was not attractive enough for him to have pursued. “You tell me what you think. I don’t think so.”

April 5, 2017

Nine months after Ailes’s ouster, Trump came to the defense of Bill O’Reilly in the wake of a bombshell report that the top-rated Fox News host had paid settlements to at least five women who made harassment claims against him. O’Reilly was forced to leave Fox News after nearly 20 years at the top-rated cable network.

Trump said that O’Reilly, his longtime friend, “shouldn’t have settled” with his accusers.

“I don’t think Bill did anything wrong,” Trump told the New York Times. “I think he’s a person I know well. He is a good person.”

Nov. 21, 2017

Trump urged Alabama voters to look past the disturbing allegations against Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore because the alternative was a Democrat.

At least nine women accused Moore of behavior ranging from uncomfortable and unwanted overtures to sexual assault. Most of the accusers said the misconduct occurred when they were teenagers and Moore was in his 30s. Moore fiercely denied the assault allegations.

As he did in Porter’s case, Trump quickly pointed to Moore’s denials.

“Well, he denies it,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “Look, he denies it.

“He says it didn’t happen. And you know, you have to listen to him also.”

WOW!!!!!

 

I wonder how cold Melania was to Donnie on Valentine's Day.

[Danny Bateman]

The nepotism with this administration is INSANE. Remember how Hillary couldn't be elected because she was corrupt & only cared about personal enrichment & taking care of their friends?

 

 

[BigRedBuster]

Maybe Trump screwed her too and this is the payoff.

[schriznoeder]

Well, this is interesting...

Stuff like this isn't nearly as flashy as porn stars, Putin, pee-pee tapes, etc. But it could ultimately play an even bigger role in the downfall of Trump's presidency.
