Being...*?

Italy's Emma Morano turned 117 on Tuesday, November 29. Born in 1899, she is the oldest person in the world and one of just a handful to have lived through three centuries.
A key to her longevity, she tells the New York Times, is being single. After a troubled marriage, Morano kicked her husband out in 1938, a time when separation was rare and divorce illegal."I didn't want to be dominated by anyone," Morano tells the Times. She never remarried despite having "plenty of suitors."
Of course, there's more to Morano's staying power than her independence. She also credits her longevity to genetics and to an unconventional diet.
"Emma has always eaten very few vegetables, very little fruit," her doctor tells AFP.

Single, Diet, Exercise.... What not to like?

Refugee...*?

An attack at Ohio State University was being investigated as a possible act of terrorism after a student, an 18-year-old Somali refugee, injured eleven people, first with a car and then with a butcher's knife.

The suspect "intentionally" drove over a curb, striking multiple pedestrians, before emerging with a knife and stabbing several people.
The suspect was identified as a Somali national and legal permanent resident of the US.

In September, a 20-year-old Somali-American stabbed 10 people at a St. Cloud, Minnesota, shopping mall before being shot to death by an off-duty officer.

Who are we letting in the country, giving them a legal status, then  spent our taxes to chase their terrorist activities day and night?    If we accept Refugee, then all the comers will claim that status. 

Just a thought.

What's Up...?

The Media is looking for anything to report on.... and so far mostly nothing of value to the American People as it is intended. The words itself such as Migrants, Immigrants, Illegal Immigrants, Refugees and Illegal, are mixed and matched together.
This one , I thought, represents any thing but value...?

Just In...

Le Pen...

Far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen said that having Syria ruled by President Bashar Al-Assad was a more “reassuring” choice for France.

“There is no viable and plausible solution other than this binary choice, which is Bashar al-Assad on one hand and the Islamic state on the other hand,” she said. “Assad is obviously today a much more reassuring solution for France.”

The French government, along with most of its allies, insists that Assad should leave office in order to bring peace to Syria.  Weapons and money poured in Syria in support of various fighters which extended the misery of the Syrian people.

Le Pen met with Lebanese President Michel Aoun, in her first major foreign policy initiative of the campaign. She is scheduled to meet Christian and Muslim religious leaders later. Lebanon is a former French protectorate.

Her talks with Aoun included the Syrian refugee crisis and the need to join forces to combat Islamist extremists, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported. Lebanon hosts more than 1.5 million Syrian refugees, whose presence has crippled its ailing economy.
