I really want to believe they are ready to turn a corner. That’s why some are saying HRC’s harsh tone in her last speech was the wrong way to go. And I hate that she said she’d meet with Netanyahu within first month in office. Anyway, let’s hope it all works out for the best. I would hate for all this diplomacy, so much hard work, to be for naught.
Checking back in and I am blown away by this tweet.
Not that I should be. As the official crazy person on TOD, maybe some of you recall my stated belief that Iran has not had any interest in obtaining a nuclear weapon. That the issue was manufactured by $$$ interests looking to hurt the competition for oil money.
Good Morning TODable TODville Community on a Fantastic Sunday :) Sunshine, most of all. Gorgeous. Blue Sky. Cool to perfection.
Excellent Cartoons, Amk.
Congrats Amk, FURST :star: and AfricaTimes2 for your First :star:
Congrats to Au :star: winners 3 posts back.
Ms Chips and Master DannyO - Here’s my wish for an uneventful, pain-free Sunday for you both! Do try as best you can to keep yourselves away from trouble today, and the rest of the week.
:oops: You are absolutely right!
Don’t ask me where the ‘too’ came from. Either my mind is going more rapidly than I credit, or auto-correct has been having fun at my expense, but you cannot imagine how often I have to correct what I type after I’d swear I wrote the correct thing! Well, at least you were handy this time. Thanks! :)
I have Never understood the shock and or the uncomfortableness of many of Us in USA when it comes to babies being fed by their Moms as Mother Nature Dictates.

GOP: Defund Planned Parenthood even if it didn’t break the law
By Sarah Ferris - 09/13/15 08:00 AM EDT
Congressional Republicans say they are determined to shut Planned Parenthood down, regardless of whether it broke any laws.
In more than two months of investigations, members have yet to turn up evidence that Planned Parenthood acted illegally, the same conclusion reached by a half-dozen state investigations. The Department of Justice has so far declined to launch a formal probe.
Several Republicans acknowledged this week that they may never find proof of wrongdoing at Planned Parenthood — but said it doesn’t matter.
“I don’t know whether we’re ever going to be able to answer that question, whether it was illegal for them to do what they were doing,” Rep. Raúl Labrador (R-Idaho) said during the House’s first hearing on the topic Wednesday. “I don’t know if it was illegal … but it was immoral, what was seen on that video.”
Republicans have long been fierce critics of Planned Parenthood, which is the nation’s largest provider of abortion services. Under the law, the organization is banned from using federal funding for abortions, except in cases of rape, incest or medical necessity.
……………………..
“The issue is not whether there’s been a crime committed or not,” Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas.) told the same group at the hearing. “This issue is whether or not taxpayers should fund Planned Parenthood. That’s the issue before this committee.”
So if PBO disengaged after the 2008 elections as Sanders’ claimed, how the hell did he manage to win 2012 with an MSM that was determined to elect Willard Mitt Romney?
A question that I have posted before on another Website.
Also……In 2010, The Obama Team with a Dem Pollster went to Dems in Congress and urged them with Poll Numbers to support and act on the Tax Bill……they punted. They didn’t defend ACA. They never high lighted their own accomplishments. They allowed GOPers to once again define them unfairly.
In 2014, this time, Dems were actively running away from Pres Obama once Ebola, Migration from South America and the Beheadings by ISIL/Daesh were constant 24/7 coverage before the Nov Elections. Dems were so freaking scared of their Values and they were quick to always believe the News Media Narrative……..therefore, depressing the Heck of their Base from turning out.
I was making calls from my home in 2010 as part of OFA to pass both the ACA and The Dream Act. I’m glad that the ACA passed. unfortunately, we weren’t so lucky with getting the Dream Act passed.

Poll: Trump tops GOP field in California
By Kyle Balluck
Billionaire Donald Trump leads the crowded 2016 Republican presidential field in California, according to a poll released Sunday morning.
The USC Dornsife/LA Times Poll found that 24 percent of Republicans said they would support Trump.
Retired pediatric neurosurgeon Ben Carson is in second place with 18 percent.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) each received 6 percent support.
Pollsters found that Carson would beat Trump in a head-to-head matchup, however, 43 percent to 32 percent.
