I'm Back

++Three notebooks buried away I recovered my e-mail to access this site. I have created a new blog In A Far country for those of you who want to read other things this year.

++I really was anxious that I had let 6 and a half years of writing hang out in cyberspace. As of now, my new blog has birth pains. The font size is not as good and there is no where to describe who I am.

++So appropriate to where we were,the Times of Israel urges Hillary to mend the gap between Bibi and the United States. Hillary is said to have a good relationship with Bibi and supported his Gaza operation. She was also instrumental in the first Gaza ceasefire.

++Hillary took the first turn away from President Obama today when she urged military training and arms shipments to the Ukraine. 

++The Pentagon today said that the Russian S-3000s were already factored into the US' plan if it comes to bombing Iran.

++Politico had to admit that the Corker bill after the amendments was a coup--not for Congress but the White House. The final bill made it very unlikely that Congress could kill the Iranian nuke deal.

++John Kerry told the G-7 Foreign Ministers that the President would get the deal approved when it was done.

++President Rouhani of iran said he was negotiating with the global powers, not Congress. Later he said the vote for an internal affair of the United States.

++President Obama was tinkering again with Obamacare by changing the rules for wellness programs in businesses.

++Tennessee's House approved the bible as its state book.

++Georgia approved medical marijuana.

++Bobby Jindal has doubled down on the Religious Freedom Act.

++While Mike Pence's approval rating has gone into the toilet,politico is now talking about John Kasich running for President.

++Lincoln Chaffee announced for the Democratic race--sort of. First he said he was 100% in and then his aide pulled it back.

++Ted Cruz thinks the Second Amendment is meant to protect us from the government. Lindsey Graham said, Wait a minute, we did that already in South Carolina" and it didn't turn out very well.

++Colorado really may be on the verge of approving a Personhood Bill.

++VOX looked at Obama's coalition and Hillary's and found something out--they are the same. There is little difference in the support each person has in the key demographics.

++At least 50 Democratic House members including John Lewis have come out in support of Hillary.

++Remember Superdelegates?

++Feminist groups have come out because Hillary has been the most vocal supporter of women's rights on the global stage.

++Thom Hartman interviewing Eleanor Clift today raised the issue whether Hillary's feminism would not spur on misogyny the same way Obama kicked off a reassurance of racism in the country.
