We Didn't Pay Ransome, or Did We

Once you give into ransom, you can expect more kidnappings. 

Number 1 rule....YOU NEVER NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS. Even what Jimmy Carter attempted was what should have been done, albeit more coordinated. Funny how those were released minutes after the swearing in of Reagan.

I don't think it was a ransom. I will post a link. Reagan traded weapons for hostages. Remember the Iran Contra Scandal?

All you do is reach into the time machine and report something similar. That somehow makes it ok for you. Two wrongs make it right?

Then why disguise it with foreign money. If all was on the up and up and part of a long ago "deal" then why not just pay it in US$?

    • Sorry sir on my miss count. I was in hurry
    • Are they offering refuge to criminals? Or is it a Trump talking point? Refugees are people who leave their country due to unwarranted prosecution. I actually take care of 2 refugee kids who have complex medical needs   No, refugees are not criminals, and the assumption that they are more likely to be criminals than the general population is incorrect:                                                                                          Research shows immigrants commit crimes at lower rates Immigrants in the United States commit crimes at lower rates than the U.S.-born population, including unauthorized immigrants. This is true across immigrant groups.                  Immigration doesn't raise crime rates Immigrants don't raise crime rates in the communities where they settle. In fact, some studies suggest that immigration can lower crime rates, especially violent crime.                  Anti-immigration politicians have spread a myth Anti-immigration politicians have repeatedly tried to link immigrants to crime, but research shows this is a myth.                  Refugees don't cause crime in Turkey A study found that refugees don't have a causal effect on crime rates in Turkey. In fact, the study found that refugees may have a negative effect on crime rates per capita. 
    • I think it's actually the first time ever to get past the second round. Some older folks might try to tell you about Scott High but I wasn't here when that school was around 😆
    • Smith is 78-31 overall and 18-8 in the playoffs. His first three years he went 23-15 overall and 6-3 in playoffs. His Silsbee teams are averaging making 3rd round every year in his 9 years as head coach.
    • Wishing everyone a great Thanksgiving!
