  1. They used to respond to password reset but stopped years back, before 2019, in my case. They must have closed foreigners accounts and confiscated our money as they have not been responsive for years now.

  8. "All other VIP members, as soon as the RV is announced - you are automatically upgraded to Platinum". What lesson am I learning here as a quick-2-b-platinum member? lol. Shouldn't be fast in being a platinum? VIP members automatically upgraded to platinum free. Mr. Adams, I must confess that I get jealous all the time you give discount, but nothing for us quick-2-b-platinum members. Seriously... but lol.
  9. I guess that should be options under your profile.
  10. Thank you for the attention. Is there any key/important information in the email? Thanks.
  11. Actually, I have a gmail account. I don't think it's setting issue because I had been receiving emails before. I will have to update my email address to gmail. Meanwhile, is the promised email anywhere on VIP section? Thanks.
  12. Something isn't right. I received the email Adam sent out on Thursday, March 2nd right in my yahoo inbox. It seems like he sent another one on Friday which went to my spam on March 5 with the subject "FRIDAY! The third DV update for me this week :)", but it's for who wants to be VIP. I never had any problem receiving his updates in my inbox until now. What's going on now?
  13. Did Adam send out the VIP e-mail he promised to send out on Saturday? I didn't receive it if it was sent out. Did anybody receive it?
  14. That's funny and I lol. It's not so. I don't like calling attention.
  15. I'm kind of wondering why and how my profile got visited 3,477 times. Who could have been those and what could they have been looking for in my profile? Too many visits without a single "hi" or "hello" message... lol.
  16. I don't think Adam has written anything lately, but don't think you should worry. If I can read your mail I should believe you're connected to receive updates from Adam when he does. It's good you raised your concern, though.
  17. Glad there's no political correctness against God in this community. Christmas, as well as traditional marriage, is millennial, the old landmarks postmodernism should not meddle with. So, I'm glad to wish you all a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart.
  18. They'll take care of you. I assure you.

View photo FILE - In this Jan. 28, 2014 file photo, Vice President Joe Biden and House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio listens as President Barack Obama gives his State of the Union address on Capitol Hill in Washington. For the first time in his presidency, Obama stands before a Republican dominated Congress angry over his growing list of veto threats and opposed to the agenda he presents to them.

Associated Press Why Democrats Are Pushing a $1.2 Trillion Redistribution of Wealth The Fiscal Times WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama will call for increasing taxes on the wealthiest Americans by raising the capital gains rate and eliminating a tax break on inheritances, then using the revenue to fund new tax credits and other cost-saving measures for the middle class. The president's proposals are likely to be cheered by the Democratic Party's liberal base, but the tax increases are all but certain to be non-starters with the new Republican majority on Capitol Hill. Obama will announce the tax proposals Tuesday night in his State of the Union address. Senior administration officials disclosed details Saturday on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the proposals by name ahead of the president. The president's address — his first to a Republican-led Congress — will also include calls for lawmakers to make community college free for many students, increase paid leave for workers and enact broad cybersecurity rules. The centerpiece of the president's tax proposal is an increase in the capital gains rate on couples making more than $500,000 per year to 28 percent, the same level as under President Ronald Reagan. The top capital gains rate has already been raised from 15 percent to 23.8 percent during Obama's presidency. Obama also wants to close what the administration is calling the "Trust Fund Loophole," a change that would require estates to pay capital gains taxes on securities at the time they're inherited. Officials said the overwhelming impact of the change would be on the top 1 percent of income earners. While GOP leaders have said they share Obama's desire to reform the nation's complicated tax code, the party has long been opposed to many of the proposals the president will outline Tuesday. For example, most Republicans want to lower or eliminate the capital gains tax and similarly want to end taxes on estates, not expand them. Administration officials pointed to a third proposal from the president as one they hope Republicans would support: a fee on the roughly 100 U.S. financial firms with assets of more than $50 billion. Officials said the fee is similar to a proposal from former Republican Rep. Dave Camp of Michigan, who led the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee. Camp's plan, however, was part of a larger proposal to lower the overall corporate income tax rate. Raising the capital gains rate, ending the inheritance loophole and tacking a fee on financial firms would generate $320 billion in revenue over a decade, according to administration estimates. Obama wants to put the bulk of that money into a series of measures aimed at helping middle-class Americans. Among them: —A credit of up to $500 for families in which both spouses work. The administration says 24 million couples would benefit from the proposal, which would apply to families with annual income up to $210,000. —Expanding the child care tax credit to up to $3,000 per child under age 5. The administration says the proposal would help more than 5 million families with the cost of child care. —Overhauling the education tax system by consolidating six provisions into two, a move that could cut taxes for 8.5 million families. Republicans have been open to the idea of consolidating education tax breaks. Obama's call for higher taxes on the wealthy could further antagonize Republicans who are already angry with the president over his vows to veto several of the party's priorities, including legislation to approve construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, make changes to the president's signature health care legislation and block his executive actions on immigration. Republicans say Obama's veto threats are a sign of a president who didn't get the message from voters who relegated his party to minority status in the November election. New Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the president still has a chance to change his tone. "Tuesday can be a new day," McConnell said. "This can be the moment the president pivots to a positive posture. This can be a day when he promotes serious realistic reforms that focus on economic growth and don't just spend more money we don't have. We're eager for him to do so." Beyond rolling out new proposals, Obama's address is also expected to focus on making the case to the public that recent economic gains represent a real and lasting recovery. The approach reflects the White House's belief that it has been too cautious in promoting economic gains out of fear of looking tone deaf to the continued struggles of many Americans. White House advisers have suggested that their restraint hindered Democrats in the November elections and helped Republicans take full control of Congress for the first time in eight years. But with hiring up and unemployment down, the president has been more assertive about the improving state of the economy in the new year. Tuesday's prime-time address will be his most high-profile platform for making that case. "America's resurgence is real, and we're better positioned than any country on Earth to succeed in the 21st century," Obama said Wednesday in Iowa, one of several trips he has made this month to preview the speech. Obama isn't expected to make any major foreign policy announcements. He is likely to urge lawmakers to stop the pursuit of new penalties against Iran while the U.S. and others are in the midst of nuclear negotiations with Tehran. In a news conference Friday, Obama said legislation threatening additional penalties could upend the delicate diplomacy. "Congress should be aware that if this diplomatic solution fails, then the risks and likelihood that this ends up being at some point a military confrontation is heightened — and Congress will have to own that as well," he said. The president also is expected to cite his recent decision to normalize relations with Cuba, as well as defend the effectiveness of U.S. efforts to stop Russia's provocations in Ukraine and conduct air strikes against Islamic State fighters in Iraq and Syria. ___ Associated Press writers Stephen Ohlemacher and Laurie Kellman contributed to this report. ___ Follow Julie Pace at http://twitter.com/jpaceDC  View Comments (1560)
  20. Hit the male on the head? lol See, people really care much what you say.
  21. Those are true words. I agree with you that "Obama screwed up BIG when he made the decision to pull all of our troops out". If he had listened to experts in war on terror rather than obeying his deadly ambition mechanized by political correctness the situation in Iraq, of course, would have been better than what it is right now. It's sad and this administration should be ashamed that the sacrifices of women and men in uniform from different countries and civilian contractors that died in Iraq for a stable Iraq from 2003 to 2013 is wasted. Or is it still Bush's fault? Now, he's making US spend extra on Iraq, which shouldn't have been necessary if he was smart enough to listen and follow experts' advice. And as if that wasn't enough, the same administration released five terrorists for a deserter and freed Abu Bakr al-Baghdad from a US detention and he's now the head of ISIS. I think the congress should squeeze this president; some bad juice will probably come out.
  22. Thanks. It was better you started with 3rd prize contest.
  23. I couldn't find reply option to enter my number for the contest. I saw the word "Locked" in white on black background. Was there a deadline to reply with a number? If yes, can instructions be specific as from what time to what time to enter a number for the remaining contests? Thanks
