  1. Mosul reclaimed: ISIS routed from Iraqi city, US-led coalition says Published July 10, 2017 Fox News The US-led coalition announces Iraqi forces have retaken Mosul from ISIS, more than three years after the terror group overran the city in June 2014. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/07/10/mosul-reclaimed-isis-routed-from-iraqi-city-us-led-coalition-says.html
  2. To stay sane on this ride, we can only pay attention to "what Iraq has done", not "what they are going to do". I was advised to do this years ago by a friend and he has been correct.
  3. I would be in more agreement with you if the sex happened between men and women but it is difficult for me to believe celibacy creates pedophiles and homosexuals. I honestly believe these people already have these proclivities before entering the service of priesthood. Many innocent altar boys have been molested by priests throughout decades, maybe centuries and the thought breaks my heart.
  4. Yep, Gorbachev "tore down that wall" after a man whom he respected, Ronald Reagan, told him to. No matter the posturing, Russia does not want to get into a global confrontation with the U.S. Their economy has tanked and they can't afford it, but they have to have a leader in the U.S. that they know they can't push around and they now have it. Jmho.
  5. I never saw a picture of Putin ever paying this much attention to our past president. It appears Putin has respect for this one. Of course, it could be that Putin wants a Trump Tower or a Trump golf course in Moscow 😄😎. I believe he knows Trump is more than a mouthpiece and photo op.
  6. The fake news is catching up with them. 😏 But dang, can't believe MSNBC is second behind Fox News.
  7. Inner Tube: CNN ratings drop to lowest levels since 1991 BY DAVID HINCKLEY GINA SALAMONE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Thursday, June 28, 2012, 6:00 AM CNN plummeted in the second quarter this year to its lowest ratings since 1991. Viewership for all three major cable news channels from March 26 to June 22 was lower this year than in 2011. It was modestly off at Fox News Channel, sharply down at MSNBC and precipitously lower at CNN. In prime time, CNN averaged 446,000 total viewers, with 129,000 in the 25-54 demographic that advertisers covet. That’s down 35% and 41%, respectively, from the second quarter of 2011. Fox News averaged 1.79 million prime-time viewers, down just 1% from a year ago — though Fox News lost 14% in the 25-54 demographic. MSNBC averaged 689,000 total viewers, 13% below last year, and was down 17% in 25-54. CNN, which generally tries to stake out the middle ground between right-leaning Fox and left-leaning MSNBC, has seen declining viewership for several years despite bringing in Anderson Cooper at 8 p.m. and Piers Morgan at 9. Next, John King’s 6 p.m. show will disappear. This Monday, Nancy Grace of CNN’s sister station HLN had more viewers than Cooper, and HLN’s Dr. Drew had more viewers than Morgan. Both Fox News and MSNBC were well ahead. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/tube-cnn-ratings-drop-lowest-levels-1991-article-1.1103384
  8. I hope all have a safe celebration and I thank every person who has served in the military who gained our independence and who have helped us keep our independence. May God Bless You All and May God Bless America! 🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
  9. Iran responsible for the liberation of Mosul??? I believe that note should have been written to the U.S.A. IMO. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
  10. I'm amazed they have electricity all over the country much less Internet. This is just weird; they cut the internet to prevent people from cheating on their school exams, but couldn't shut it down to keep ISIS from transferring money? I have no idea if this indicates anything good for us, but a strange action imho.
  11. Hence my concern with Maliki visiting Russia at this junction of the defeat of ISIS, regardless what the press release indicates.
  12. i feel queasy while reading this article. I see an alliance between Russia, Syria, Iran, and Maliki with his group of thugs, causing more trouble for Iraq and the U.S. An evil axis for sure, hope I'm wrong about their intentions.
  13. Well, maybe these abled bodied men and women should get a freaking job and buy their insurance instead demonstrating for welfare.
  14. I respectfully disagree Shab. The lower courts have become so politicized that they can't seem to make rational constitutional decisions anymore, i.e. Trump's ban on terrorist countries. So, I am very interested in how the Supreme Court rules in this case.
  15. Medicaid was created for the disabled, children, pregnant women with no insurance, and single women with no access to health insurance; it was not created for able bodied people who are able to work. Obamacare used the Medicaid program to dump people in and now these able bodied people have gotten used to 'free" (to them, not to us) healthcare and don't want to lose it. However, doctors have put a limit on Medicaid patients and Medicare patients because they can't keep their practice open with the low government payments. One of the worst things that ever happened to this country is Obamacare and it will be tough to rid ourselves of it because the non-producers are beginning to outnumber the producers. Jmho
  16. This is the statue of Barack Obama in Jakarta. Obama lived in Indonesia for 3–4 years when he was a child. AND THAT’S IT. He never became Indonesian citizen, never did something remarkable for Indonesia, yet there are Indonesian who made a statue of him to be placed in this country. Thank you Yota. I don't see the Quran in his hand, looks to me the butterfly in the hand instead of his shoulder and can't tell if there is a joint or not in the other hand. Am I missing something or just blind this morning?
  17. I sure wish I could get a picture of this statue, would have some fun with it.
  18. They would have to be the 52nd, Puerto Rico is in the works to be the 51st which makes me unhappy but that is for another thread 😊
  19. Love your style and approach, wish the Trump Team had done what you prescribed! I would love to see justice for all the shenanigans pulled by the last administration.
  20. Bernie and Jane Sanders, under FBI investigation for bank fraud, hire lawyers JUN 24, 2017 6:21 PM EDT POLITICS BY JOHN BAT / CBS NEWS Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and his wife, Jane Sanders have hired prominent defense attorneys amid an FBI investigation into a loan Jane Sanders obtained to expand Burlington College while she was its president, CBS News confirms. Politico Magazine first reported the Sanders had hired lawyers to defend them in the probe. Sanders' top adviser Jeff Weaver told CBS News the couple has sought legal protection over federal agents' allegations from a January 2016 complaint accusing then-President of Burlington College, Ms. Sanders, of distorting donor levels in a 2010 loan application for $10 million from People's United Bank to purchase 33 acres of land for the institution. According to Politico, prosecutors might also be looking into allegations that Sen. Sanders' office inappropriately urged the bank to approve the loan. Burlington attorney and Sanders supporter Rich Cassidy has reportedly been hired to represent Sen. Sanders. And high-profile Washington defense attorney Larry Robbins, who counseled I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former chief of staff to Vice President **** Cheney, is protecting Jane Sanders. Ms. Sanders' push for the liberal arts college's costly land acquisition was cited in a press release by the college when it shut down in 2016. Brady Toensing of Burlington, the man responsible for the claims filed to the U.S. attorney for Vermont, was a chairman for the Trump campaign in his state. Sen.

Sanders criticizes inequality, corruption in commencement speech Brady Toensing of Burlington, the man responsible for the claims filed to the U.S. attorney for Vermont, was a chairman for the Trump campaign in his state. "I filed a request for an investigation in January 2016 and an investigation appears to have been started right away," he said in an email to CBS News. "It was started under President Obama, his Attorney General, and his U.S. Attorney, all of whom are Democrats." "My only hope is for a fair, impartial, and thorough investigation," Toensing added. Weaver told CBS News that Toensing's claim that Sen. Sanders used his influence to lobby for the loan is a "political charge" that is "baseless" and "false." And as for the claim that Ms. Sanders manipulated the loan application, Weaver said, "The loan was approved by the financial board at the college." Sen. Sanders, formerly mayor of Burlington, Vermont's largest city, regards the claims as a political game levied against him after his run for president in the 2016 primary election, a platform which has transformed the small-state senator into an influential voice in American liberal politics. © 2017 CBS Interactive Inc.

  21. Absolutely! What you bet the only network who even mentions this will be Fox News. A coverup all the way around!
  22. By Dan Boylan and Guy Taylor - The Washington Times - Thursday, June 22, 2017 House intelligence committee sources say career officials at the National Security Councilare slow-walking the delivery of subpoenaed records on former National Security Adviser Susan E. Rice’s handling of classified information and the “unmasking” of Trump campaign workers — material from the Russian hacking probe that middle-level NSC managers claim was transferred to President Obama’s library and could “remain closed to the public for five years.” One source, speaking only on the condition of anonymity, called the transfer curious and appeared to reflect an effort by former administration officials to obscure evidence on whether Ms. Rice and other top officials in the Obama White House illegally tried to identify which Trump campaign and transition aides had been caught up in the U.S. intelligence intercepts of Russian interference in the presidential race. The two high-level intelligence committee sources told The Washington Times that they are confident the panel’s investigators, despite the delays, will eventually get their hands on the records shipped to a heavily secure archive for Mr. Obama’s yet-to-be-built presidential library. A spokesman at the National Security Council would not directly address questions on the Rice case, saying only that the council’s staff is “still in the process of reviewing record requests” to ensure that any “executive privilege concerns” are taken into account. The spokesman, Michael N. Anton, said the intelligence committee subpoenas were not submitted directly to the NSC, but to other agencies within the U.S. intelligence community. He did not respond to a request for specifics on which agencies. The Barack Obama Presidential Library in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, declined to comment Thursday on the handling of Ms. Rice’s documents. Rep. Devin Nunes, California Republican and chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, has been an outspoken proponent of the panel’s focus on the unmasking allegations. He also declined to comment. Tom Fitton, president of the legal activist group Judicial Watch, said the sealing of unmasking records was an example of how U.S. intelligence agencies are stonewalling. It was first revealed in a recent Freedom of Information Act exchange between Judicial Watch and the NCS that the records had been moved to the Obama library’s secure archive. “Having to subpoena this information indicates the insanity of the situation when the nation’s top intelligence agencies are withholding information — basic information — that could bring to an end the controversy raging across this country,” Mr. Fitton said in an interview Thursday. He said he is considering other legal options to obtain the records. “We are having to sue to get basic information,” he said. “It is a shell game of documents being shifted over to the library. These documents are the smoking gun that investigators are looking for, and everyone knows it.” Mr. Fitton said President Trump “could get the [Rice] records himself.” “They are restricted access,” he said. “But there are ways that he could get them because they are executive branch records and he can get him.” In March, Ms. Rice admitted to requesting the unmasking of the names of some Americans redacted in raw intelligence reports on the U.S. surveillance intercepts, but argued that the requests were well within her job duties as national security adviser and were in no way driven by political motivations to know which figures from the Trump campaign were being discussed. Mr. Trump on Twitter has repeatedly complained that the unmasking efforts and the Obama White House’s handling of the Russian hacking probe have not received sufficient attention in the various investigations on Capitol Hill and by Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller. On May 31, Republicans and Democrats on the House intelligence committee issued a series of subpoenas related to the Russia investigations. Three of the subpoenas — sent to intelligence community agencies — sought records relating to alleged unmasking requests made by senior Obama administration figures, including Ms. Rice, CIA Director John O. Brennan and U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Samantha Power. Democrats want the probes to stay tightly focused on possible obstruction of justice by Mr. Trump and collusion between his associates and the Kremlin. The U.S. intelligence community has unanimously concluded that the Kremlin was behind an organized cyberattack campaign to interfere in the U.S. election and undermine the candidacy of Democrat Hillarious Clinton last year. But since the Russia probes launched earlier this year, Mr. Trump and his aides have argued that the real scandal lies elsewhere. They contend that senior Obama administration officials, including Ms. Rice, inappropriately unmasked and perhaps illegally leaked to the media the names of Trump campaign officials swept up in the hacking probe, and failed to take sufficient steps to stop the hacking once it was uncovered. Judicial Watch sent a Freedom of Information Act request to the NSC in April seeking records concerning Ms. Rice’s communications on a range of subjects. NSC Access Management Director John Powers responded on May 23 — roughly a week before the House intelligence committee began seeking the records. “Documents from the Obama administration have been transferred to the Barack Obama Presidential Library,” Mr. Powers wrote. “You may send your request to the Obama Library. However, you should be aware that under the Presidential Records Act, presidential records remain closed to the public for five years after an administration has left office.” http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jun/22/susan-rice-records-intelligence-committee-wants-ar/
  23. Well, kinda wonder what happened to that 4+ Billion dollars in cash that Obama sent them? 😏🙄
  24. As long as both love each other, and both wants the marriage, there is hope. My husband and I were married for 29 years (second marriages for both) when he died of cancer. He has been gone for 5 years and I haven't met a man since who can equal him. If I do, I will get to know him 🌼 The only advice I would give to anyone, man or woman in a marriage is think before you speak and don't feel it is a weakness to say "I'm sorry" first. Wow, guess y'all didn't know my real name is Ann Landers 🙄😌😊
  25. All I can say is I HOPE they got him, but time will tell. He has been "killed" several times before.
