Oh yea, the Obama international nuclear deal That ranks right up there with his Obamacare disaster. You know, one of those, we'll have to pass it before we know whats in it nuclear deals.
Trump will trash the deal as it should.

Think California in about 10 years.

Ridiculous and wacky!

More Illinois death spiral......

Billions in Illinois bills not sent for payment

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Illinois is chasing a moving target as it tries to dig out of the nation's worst budget crisis, and a review obtained by The Associated Press shows $7.5 billion worth of unpaid bills — as much as half the total — hadn't been sent to the official who writes the checks by the end of June.

October 10, 2017

Although many of those IOUs have since been paid, a similar amount in unprocessed bills has replaced them in the last three months, Comptroller Susana Mendoza's office said Monday. That's in addition to $9 billion worth of checks that are at the office but being delayed because the state lacks the money to pay them.

The mound of past-due bills tripled over the two years Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrats who control the General Assembly were locked in a budget stalemate, which ended in July when lawmakers hiked income taxes over Rauner's vetoes.

In some cases, agencies were waiting to send their receipts to Mendoza because lawmakers haven't approved the spending. For example, the Department of Corrections had $471 million in unpaid bills on hand as of June 30 largely for that reason.
The Department of Central Management Services, which handles personnel, procurement and employee health care, has most of the June 30 bundle, with $5.8 billion. That's mostly doctor's bills owed to employee medical providers under the state group health insurance plan.

Illinois has been without an annual budget for two years, the longest of any state in at least 80 years. The state is carrying a $6.2 billion annual deficit and $14.7 billion in overdue bills. The state has crept along on spending ordered by courts, but a federal judge last week ordered that the state pay nearly $300 million more a month to managed-care Medicaid billers.

Fitch rated Illinois' creditworthiness as "BBB" in February. There is one more level, "BBB-minus," before falling into "junk" status. The tax bill approved Sunday would increase the personal income tax rate from 3.75 percent to 4.95 percent. Corporations would pay 7 percent instead of 5.25 percent.

Exactly what are they protesting?

Yea, I think that was near the end of Bush1. Slick Willy came in and
turned Mena, Arkansas into the cocaine import capital of the US.

Wacky much?

It had to be covert because the Liberals in Congress, as usual,
would not allow any assistance to help fight the Sandanista's.
Thankfully, aid was sent to them. Cuba at that time was trying to
spread communism in Central America.

North Korea and Iran have shared nuclear and missile technology for years. Why would that be a stretch?

with the difference being, weapons were sent to Nicaragua to fight
the Cuban aided communist forces there. The money sent to Iran by Obama? Who knows. Probably sitting on top of a missle in N.Korea
ready for launch.

Yea, but we weren't sending pallet loads of cash to
terrorist countries then either.

We really shuldn't care. Most of them will be broke by the time their forty. I wonder? Could multiple brain concussions be at work here?

Yea, right on.

It's just a few minutes to show our respect and unity for our country.
Not a lot to ask for what our country has done for ALL of us.
Nothing else.

Money is JJ's "prioity".

Football is Big Bidness.

Jerry Jones gives Cowboys players ultimatum: Honor the flag or take a seat on the bench

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Sunday any player who disrespects the flag will not play.

Jones’ comments, the strongest made on the anthem controversy, came after he was asked about Vice President Mike Pence leaving the game in Indianapolis early after several San Francisco 49ers players took a knee during the national anthem.

"I know this, we cannot ... in the NFL in any way give the implication that we tolerate disrespecting the flag," he said following the Cowboys’ 35-31 loss to the Green Bay Packers. "We know that there is a serious debate in this country about those issues, but there is no question in my mind that the National Football League and the Dallas Cowboys are going to stand up for the flag. So we're clear."

Dallas players have stood on the sideline, many with hands over their hearts, during the anthem ever since former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick started kneeling last season in protest of what he believed were instances of racial injustice in the U.S.

Jones said showing respect for the flag and the anthem is more important to him than any potential issues of team unity.

Additionally, Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said he changed his view on how his team should handle the national anthem. Ross said because Trump made standing for the national anthem about “patriotism,” he evolved the way he looks at the protest, according to the Miami Herald.

Ross now wants all of the Dolphins players to stand for the anthem. Three Dolphins players – Kenny Stills, Julian Thomas and Michael Thomas – remained off to the sideline during the anthem Sunday.

The NFL has said the game operations manual distributed to teams includes a reference to players standing for the anthem, but that it's a policy and not a rule. The league has said it doesn't plan to punish players over anthem protests.

"The league in mind should absolutely take the rules we've got on the books and make sure that we do not give the perception that we're disrespecting the flag," Jones said.

Must be like collusion delusion

I agree, mostly it's "macho bravado" motivating the quest for the
ultimate killing weapon. Most of it is harmless until one nut pulls
a trigger. I heard that the "Bump Stock" is selling as fast as they
can get them also heard that they frequently jam the gun too.
But they gotta have one. It's crazy.

Jerry Jones said that it was for "racial equality".
I thought we had fixed that, just me.

Who Liberals? Yea, they go which ever way the wind blows.
