The Democratic Debate… And Then There Were Three!

Gay Marriage? Not if Kim Davis can help it!

Trump Demanded Obama’s Birth Certificate But Refuses To Release His Own Records
Funny ain’t it? The guy who was screaming bloody murder over our current president’s birth certificate apparently doesn’t want anybody seeing any kind of paper trail that would support his contention that he graduated number one in his class at the Wharton School of Finance. This assertion was later exposed as a media myth with no basis in truth.

Republicans Are Looking For Any Excuse to Bomb Iran
Now, whether we attack or not, Republican politicians want to vote down a negotiated agreement and keep repressive sanctions in place that have negatively impacted the population to a tremendous degree. Why not go Hiroshima and Nagasaki on them? Estimates from Atomic Archive.com put the combined death tolls at about 105,000 dead and 94,000 wounded adding up to nearly 200,000 casualties.

The Iran Nuclear Agreement: Not Perfect, But the Best We Can Do

Republican Debate; Not Exactly Cordial
The two-hour debate did yield the critical issues that Republicans are going to slam the electorate with for the next 15 plus months. Leading the parade; all things Muslim. Iran and the nuclear agreement, ISIS and the right-wing blood lust to send our young people anywhere in the Middle East to be killed and maimed.
