Maybe they can do a go-fund-me and hire a nice filipina baby sitter and go out for a nice night at Buddha Bar to blow off some steam.

There was plenty of notice to gtfo. They ignored or just didn't end their vacation.

Dubai would be amazing but I’m not going to the Middle East with kids.

No clue wtf they were thinking

Why blow $10k+ on a vacay that neither child will remember?

This is the reason that , whenever i fly from Asia to America or vice versa (which is more often than id like)- i always select flights that route thru Tokyo or Singapore, places like that.. there’s never a 100% guarantee of safety as an American flying international during times of global conflict, but i just always kinda like my odds more if im not flying into a hotspot , even for just a couple hours layover… it’s also sort of why i avoid layovers in Taipei or Seoul- even though ive heard those are two of the nicest airports in the world- the idea of flying into Taiwan, which is thisclose to China, with everything going on between US & China.. or flying into S Korea, right next to that madman in N Korea with the nukes and an itchy trigger finger- neither apppeals much to me.. ive been accused of overreacting or being paranoid- but hey, im still alive lol

I recommend they NOT try the airport in Dubai right now.... Watch the end closely.

Look at me I’m not racist. That’s a stupid place to take kids.

She's Canadian and having hyphenated last names is customary.


Please explain. Is that her mom and her dad's last names? She didn't want to add her husband's and have 3 last names with 2 hyphens?

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a completely fake story from our friendly MSM to reinforce their agenda that Trump’s war is hurting families and poor innocent little babies!

It’s the media version of hacking your email saying you’re stranded in Africa, lost your wallet and to please send money.

If it’s real, it’s a gofundme scam.

How is she married and has a hyphenated last name that doesn't include her husband's last name? She should have double hyphenated her last name.

Are they even married? Is this one of those Rodham things? She had to keep maiden names because she was descended from Upton Sinclair and William Faulkner? The Sinclair oil dynasty?

With all the empty C-17s going back to the states I’m sure they could get on one of those flights. Pete Hegseth even gave a number I believe to call for Americans in that situation as well.

It's not fake. I know them through a friend. They don't hurt for money in the least bit.

Also I heard they made it back into the US this morning..
