  1. You’re never satisfied so what’s the use? You cry about the length of the war and the costs. You said we should have finished the job. No telling how much longer that would have taken and how many more $billions it would have cost. For people who play both ends of the spectrum, it never ends.
  2. Crude oil price dips into the 60s. Positive things really cut down on the posts.
  3. Google search: The Obama administration sent a total of $1.7 billion in cash to Iran in 2016. The funds were delivered in foreign currencies (including Swiss francs and euros) stacked on wooden pallets, with the initial installment of $400 million secretly airlifted into Tehran on an unmarked cargo plane. [1, 2, 3] Here is a breakdown of how the funds were distributed: Initial Payment: $400 million delivered on pallets. Subsequent Payments: $1.3 billion delivered in two additional shipments within 19 days. [1, 2] Why the cash was sent Administration officials stated the payments resolved a decades-old arbitration dispute at an international tribunal in The Hague. The money originated from a Iranian trust fund used to purchase military equipment in the 1970s prior to the Islamic Revolution. Because strict international sanctions barred direct wire transfers or standard banking with Iran, the settlement was paid out in physical foreign currency. [1, 2, 3] Controversy surrounding the delivery The initial $400 million delivery coincided with the release of four American prisoners held in Iran, prompting heavy criticism and accusations from lawmakers that the cash amounted to a ransom payment. While the Obama administration denied the initial payout was a "quid pro quo" for the prisoners, officials later acknowledged the cash was used as leverage until the Americans were safely allowed to depart
  4. I can see you got a like from girlz for the personal attack. When you try to show Trump as the bad guy without explaining why Obama smuggled $400 million CASH to the Iranians, and his policies had no effect on their nuclear program shutdown, well then its’ simply lying by misinforming. Changing the subject and attacking instead of discussing your mistake is perfectly understandable. I also see you edited your post after mine. Good job.
  5. Wow, you can actually see her gears trying to turn. Unbelievable. [Hidden Content]
  6. A Google search quoting facts is a spin…..got it.
  7. The only people who are against voter ID, hate America and cheat elections.
  8. Google search: Under the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, the proposed $300 billion reconstruction and development fund is contingent on Iran fully complying with a comprehensive peace agreement. The specific conditions and mechanics to access these funds include: [1, 2] Nuclear and Behavioral Concessions: Iran must dismantle its nuclear program, eliminate its enriched uranium stockpile, and accept a stringent international inspection and enforcement regime. [1] No Direct U.S. Funding: The United States government explicitly mandates that not a single cent of taxpayer money will be paid to Iran. [1, 2] Private and Regional Investments: The $300 billion will be raised through a vehicle of private-sector commitments and investments from international and Gulf Arab regional partners. [1, 2] "Investable" Climate: To attract these private and regional funds, Iran must make itself an investable nation, demonstrating it will not resume nuclear weapons programs or engage in destabilizing regional conflicts. [1] A Finalized Peace Deal: The fund will not be formally established or become operational until a final, satisfactory peace deal is successfully concluded and signed. [1]
  9. Double play to end it. Astros win 2-1 in a pitcher’s duel.
  10. What better way to break up a no-hitter than with a solo HR?
  11. For Bar-B-Que. This Irish guy came to the right place. Made me hungry. Lol

  13. I’m happy. I live in the greatest country in history and gas prices are falling. A positive attitude helps.
  14. Loperfido with a triple and scores on a pick-off play for the go ahead run. Stros take the series from the Blue Jays. Sorry, I should say ex-Astros.
