Yesterday, the U.K. Prime Minister, Theresa May announced in a speech before
the British Parliament that it was ""highly likely"" that the Russians were
behind the poisonings in Wiltshire, England. Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson
had the temerity to concur publicly with the assessment of our greatest ally.
Today, he has been dismissed without notification. If there is one line that
cannot be crossed in this administration, it is that of saying anything--
anything--that implicates Putin in unlawful activity. To me, Tillerson's
firing elevates the Russia investigation to a matter of grave concern for the
security of our nation.

Where are the adults? Who will defend our nation against these attacks? Could
it be that the Russians are holding information gleaned from the heretofore
unreleased hack of the RNC over other key Republicans besides Trump?

Mitt Romney was passed over for the Secretary of State position when he didn't
meet with Putin's approval. Now, Tillerson. We know, given the comments he
made in Germany about Russian interference, that McMaster isn't long for Trump
world. Also, given his friendship with Tillerson, the odds have gone up
considerably that Mattis will soon resign or be forced out. And Kelly? Having
already shown himself to be a liar and a bigot, he may yet survive. But the
thing he has going against him--and it's a doozy--is his unwillingness to
facilitate Kushner's self-serving machinations.

So much for ""stabilizing influences.""

Mr. McCain. I totally agree with what you have written here but perhaps you
should be saving our country from the one person who would never think of the
Rohingya people, or even them as people. It is shameful that you have had the
opportunity to vote against his policies that are tearing apart this country
instead of providing lip service. The United States will never claim any
mantle as long as this person is in the White House.

I'm having trouble understanding why the comments are so nasty.
You go, Adam! I am so glad you represent our country.

I sat through the Oscars telethon. I didn't enjoy any of it. To me, it was a
four hour lecture about the need for some kind of affirmative action program
for women, minorities, and whoever else claims to be discriminated against in
the movie industry. The answer to that is simply make your own movies and you
can hire anyone you want, tell any story you want and pay the actors whatever
you want. Getting people to go and pay to watch them is the hard part.
Although I did see a few of the nominated ""best pictures"" I have to say that
those that I watched, were OK but not terrific or particularly moving. ""Bill
Boards"" script was too vulgar, unnecessarily so, to suit me and the Churchill
movie had me thinking of Donald Trump while watching it. ""The Post"" didn't
excite me either. Meryl Streep was good but Tom Hanks' role left me flat. I
think Jason Robards Jr. in All The President's Men made a much more believable
Ben Bradley than Hanks. But that's just me. Anyway, the show could be
described generally under the heading ""hell hath no fury........""

We all have favorites, were impressed by our initial viewing of a picture and
numerous other factors.

Clearly Brokeback Mountain should have won for all sorts of reasons the year
it came out. Can anyone remember which picture did win that year?

Not many.

Ang Lee won in '06, but his masterpiece did not, yet it was as good as or
better, than most films since then.

What evidence do you have for this? Are you in the classrooms witnessing ""not
the best interest at heart""? Do you have a personal interaction that is
evidence? Do you have a child who was a recipient of actions by a teacher that
demonstrates this? Or are you simply parroting Koch Bros-funded union-busting
Fox News propaganda?

When a doctor raises his fees, do you claim he doesn't have his patients' good
at heart or believe him when he says the expenses of running a practice have
grown too high?
I'm pushing back and hard and it's time everyone else does too. Stop spreading
lies that you're unable to substantiate. Stop this unmitigated pile-on to
teachers who are among the least paid in our society while doing the most
important job, educating our children who are out future.

Instead, focus your disdain on the true robbers of wealth in society, the
wealthy who are pitting you against others in your community in order to
convince you that the wealthy aren't the reason everyone is struggling.

My granddaughter fell off a tall stool and started to wail. I picked her up
and said are you hurt or scared? She immediately settled down and answered
""scared"". I told her that was very sudden and scary. Acknowledge and naming
feelings for children reinforces their experiences and gives feelings a name.
It also helps people know they are being understood.

Well, maybe something terrible needs to happen - like to the economy - for the
remaining Trump supporters to finally realize there is something terribly
wrong with this man. ... oh, but then he'll make it Obama's fault and they'll
all believe him. No hope.

It will be fascinating to see how this plays out, as it goes to the heart of
the old tension between Federal and State power. It is a struggle as old as
the nation itself. And so too is the flow of people into the US from all
corners of the world, hoping for a better life.
