I just learned a new word. thanks, Donald:

Although Microsoft Word doesn’t recognize it, dieing is a real word, but it isn’t at all related to death.

If you are dieing something, you are cutting or stamping it with a die, which is a device used for cutting, forming, or engraving metals. It is a process used in machining, and your local town may even have a “tool and die shop,” which would make extensive use of the process.

By the end of this semester, I'll be able to tell you guys where my professor leans. I thought she was liberal, but now there's a chance she could be conservative posing as centrist. She has not mentioned anything really negative about Trump other than acknowledging that he's crazy. I took a positive point of view on Obama with this paper. It will be interesting to see how she grades me

I feel like she may be holding back on her conservative views. My class is very mixed ethnically. 85 percent minorities lol

Based off your earlier posts about what you have learned in your class and posted about, I can only assume she is republican....

Katie Hopkins is scum. Her views on almost everything are abhorrent so this is no surprise unfortunately. She’s also a tremendous hypocrite.

Mueller team asking if Kushner foreign business ties influenced Trump policy, incl. Qataris

Federal investigators are scrutinizing whether any of Jared Kushner's business discussions with foreigners during the presidential transition later shaped White House policies in ways designed to either benefit or retaliate against those he spoke with, according to witnesses and other people familiar with the investigation.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team has asked witnesses about Kushner's efforts to secure financing for his family's real estate properties, focusing specifically on his discussions during the transition with individuals from Qatar and Turkey, as well as Russia, China and the United Arab Emirates, according to witnesses who have been interviewed as part of the investigation into possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign to sway the 2016 election.

As part of the scrutiny of Kushner's discussions with Turks, federal investigators have reached out to Turkish nationals for information on Kushner through the FBI's legal attache office in Ankara, according to two people familiar with the matter. Separately, Qatari government officials visiting the U.S. in late January and early February considered turning over to Mueller what they believe is evidence of efforts by their country's Persian Gulf neighbors in coordination with Kushner to hurt their country, four people familiar with the matter said. The Qatari officials decided against cooperating with Mueller for now out of fear it would further strain the country's relations with the White House, these people said.
Kushner's family real estate business, Kushner Companies, approached Qatar multiple times, including last spring, about investing in the company's troubled flagship property at 666 Fifth Avenue in New York, but the government-run sovereign wealth fund declined, according to two people familiar with the discussion. Another discussion of interest to Mueller's team is a meeting Kushner held at Trump Tower during the transition in December 2016 with a former prime minister of Qatar, Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, or HBJ, according to people familiar with the meeting.

HBJ had been in talks with Kushner Companies about investing in its Fifth Avenue property, which is facing roughly $1.4 billion in debt that is due in 2019, these people said. Those talks with the company continued after Kushner entered the White House and stepped away from the business, but last spring HBJ decided against investing, these people said.

In the weeks after Kushner Companies' talks with the Qatari government and HBJ collapsed, the White House strongly backed an economically punishing blockade against Qatar, led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, citing the country's support for terrorism as the impetus. Kushner, who is both President Donald Trump's son-in-law and a key adviser, has played a major role in Trump's Middle East policy and has developed close relationships with the crown princes of Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

"I have lawyers who want to help but they are not without cost and besides their fees, legal expenses could run over $100,000," Moore wrote to supporters. "The liberal media, in association with some who want to destroy our country do not want my influence in the 2018 elections and are doing everything they can to stop me.

"Gays, lesbians, and transgenders have joined forces with those who believe in abortion, sodomy, and destruction of all that we hold dear. Unless we stand together we will lose our country," he added.

He could sell that horse...

The SA government is talking about taking that land back without compensation.

I think we should all learn from the different approaches to conflict resolution in WWI and WWII: Germany got billed for all allied rebuilding projects in 1918 and the resulting economic crisis was the catlyst for Nazism. In 1945, the Allies didn't charge the Axis nations for the damages they caused for the war.

The SA government is in a position to set the rules of the land restitution process, and they're going about it in the worst possible way.
