Felt about the 2016 election. I was not optimistic about trumps chances or really any republican chances against Hillary Clinton. My coauthor felt differently and he predicted that trump would not only win the republican nomination but would go on to win the presidency. He did that on the basis of data that he was looking at, particularly the large number of democrats in key counties and in places like northeastern ohio who are switching their Party Affiliation and one of the reasons they were doing that as they had watched the first couple president ial debates and they realize trump was speaking about issues that many of these rust belt voters cared about, trade and immigration. Bernie sanders was talking about the issues also which is one of the reasons why he did so wellin the current primaries, but for many of the voters in the rust belt and other swing counties across america, trump was where the action was. My coauthor said this is where its going to be on election da day. I was
That is when the baby is killed, and infant. Assuming that the baby is born following a bust abortion and is alive you think that either killing the baby by commission or omission is infanticide . I think i would have to do more research on state law. We have a federal born alive act. I would say it was a violation not to take action to preserve the life of a viable child. I am talking about born alive. That does fall under this definition.

That would be a violation of the current protection act. That is what the law is now. It is a violation. I think you are right. You and i agree. That is federal law. Yes. How come they do not follow federal law when they make a mistake in the baby is killed prior to being born . To my knowledge

You will understand why he structured it the way he did. What it means to him. What you wont understand, but will all be on the same page, we need to know who has lent this president unbelievable sums of millions that are personally guaranteed. Ill tell you why that matters . And are due in just a few years. This much we know, okay . All of this time that he has been spending, trying to deal with this, and what it means, he wanted to keep this from you because he is not what he has told you, and because he doesnt have what he says. Because he has money coming in from places that he didnt want you to know, and because he has money going out that is not only undercutting the idea of his wealth, but raises significant questions about who would lend him this money . Why would he be personally guaranteed . Very unusual in High Net Worth situations like his own, with all these different corporate entities. Why would he personally guarantee . Why would he have to. Who is it too . National sec
