Thanks. And all true too.

Plus I got a nice burn in on my mom. She was all excited that I was bringing a girl home to meet the parents. In reality, we weren’t even dating yet, just good friends.

When I got home, my mom said “I made your favorite thing for dinner...Lasagna.”

I replied with “Who the heck told you I like lasagna?”

I’ll eat it but it’s far from a favorite. She must have been thinking of one of my brothers.

Czech Republic is following Trump’s lead. In a statement on its Foreign Ministry’s web site, it said, “The Czech Republic currently, before the peace between Israel and Palestine is signed, recognizes Jerusalem to be in fact the capital of Israel”

What do you mean?
There was a two state solution from the beginning.
Israel and Jordan.

Lol. Great story to tell the kids and grandkids. Just love great stories. Too much negativity in the world now days. Proud to have voted for Trump. I have all my videos saved when I attended his rally in Eugene Oregon.

Chris Matthews says that this announcement is timed to help Moore in Alabama. I think it will help him, but the timing may be a coincidence.

Not being a student of the middle east, what’s the greater goal behind this?

In the secular sense, I surmise this is Trump teaching the Arabs when you walk away from a good deal to hold out for a perfect deal, a shrewd negotiator starts withdrawing from even letting you have the good deal.

I honestly don’t see how this helps Moore.

Not to be argumentative, but I just don’t see a crow-bar aspect to this.

Two states? That is not what he said before.

He said two states if both sides want it. But at the end of the day it doesn't matter since this kills any chance of negotiations.

Indeed...since 1967.

However, it was in 1984 that I was actually in Jerusalem, marching from the Mount of olives to The Western Wall to make known this request, so my own involvement dates from then.

He’ll be the paradigm that future Presidents will be compared to. Greatest since Reagan. He’s a no-prisoners kind of stand-up guy.

No more land for peace. I’m wondering of the Saudi’s jump in for peace since they are not mentioned getting murdered in Ezekiel’s 38/39 war. One step closer to the return!
