We always know where he is. The IFRD in his fillings developed by Apple and installed by CSIS dentists.

Are you and Murphy playing tag team stocking me?

Hardly. But statements like this only add to my concern. And other things, like when you cannot resist posting hateful things over and over. You did that just now in the Happy July 4th thread.

Look in the mirror, Cliffy. Phone and make some inquiries. No one here will know and everything is confidential.

I'm kind of wondering if Trump is concerned about next 100 days as everyone else seems to be! :) The sky is still up there in the same spot!

All the gloom and doom predictions haven't come true. They were predicted in the media and even on this board. He's still in the WH.

One never knows what the future holds, but so far, things seem to be unfolding as they should. There are a lot of chess pieces in play. NK, the ME, unrest throughout Europe for a few. Domestically, he's got medicare, a constantly ranting media, and how to protect the US.

Lots of things on his plate.

And where are all these women he supposedly assaulted and why aren't we hearing from them? How many who have made a claim against him have pursued it?

I don't know how much fake news there is floating around, but I know a lot of it is directed towards Trump and the WH. That could be part of the answer.

Sexual assault is extremely difficult to prove, so not pursuing the claim does not prove a false claim.

That said, a claim of assault does not prove assault either.

With that, I'll make no judgement on either side.

Exactly, so like you I don't know whether he did or he didn't and I think everyone else who doesn't know either should remain silent.

Trump used a gif from an anti semite....move along.

It's probably nothing.

OJ was found not guilty in a court.

Guess he didn't do it.

With nothing much to go on I kind of think he did, but I guess there are opinions as valid as mine who think he didn't. Guess we'll never know for sure! :)

U.S. denies visas for Afghanistan’s all-girl robotics team

By Amanda Erickson July 2

It's not easy to get robotics equipment through customs in Afghanistan, but that didn't deter this plucky bunch.
For months, a team of six teenage girls has been scrambling to build a ball-sorting robot that will compete in an international competition. Other teams received their raw materials in March. But the box sent from America had been held up for months amid concerns about terrorism. So the young engineers improvised, building motorized machines from household materials.
They didn't have time to waste if they were going to compete in the FIRST Global Challenge, an international robotics competition to be held in Washington, D.C., this month. Young teams from around the world face off against each other, in an effort to engage people in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math).
To participate, the girls from the city of Herat in western Afghanistan needed permission to travel to the United States. So, after they persuaded their parents to let them go, they made the 500-mile journey to the U.S. Embassy in Kabul to apply for their visas. They did this twice, even though that location was targeted by a deadly truck bomb. Things seemed to be lining up. But then the team got some bad news: Their visa applications had been denied. Roya Mahboob, who founded Citadel software company in Afghanistan and was the country's first female technology chief executive, is one of the team's sponsors. When the girls heard the news, she said, “they were crying all the day.”
“The first time [they were rejected] it was very difficult talking with the students,” Mahboob told Mashable. “They're young and they were very upset.”
Fourteen-year-old Fatemah told Forbes, “We want to show the world we can do it; we just need a chance.”

On their competition page, the girls wrote:
We want to make a difference, and most breakthroughs in science, technology, and other industries normally start with the dream of a child to do something great. We want to be that child and pursue our dreams to make a difference in peoples' lives.
The State Department does not comment on specific visa denials. According to recent State Department records, it's particularly hard to get a business travel visa from Afghanistan. Just 112 were granted in May 2017; 780 visas were issued to visitors from Iraq and 4,067 from Pakistan.
FIRST Global president and former congressman Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) was disappointed by the news and frustrated that the “extraordinarily brave young women” won't be able to travel to the United States and instead will have to watch their robot compete via Skype. Teams from Iraq, Iran and Sudan will be at the competition.
Mahboob is frustrated, but she still thinks the teenagers can serve as an inspiration for others. “In Afghanistan, as you know it’s a very man-dominated industry,” Mahboob said, according to Newsweek. “The girls, they’re showing at a young age that they can build something.”

Good. Teach 'em American values.

Actually, probably just as well they're not coming. They won't have to endure Trumpchumps endlessly sniggering over the name "Mahboob."

Maybe the Afghani team is good ... too good. Can't let American girls lose ... they're the best in the World! Always!

USA! USA! USA!

Youtube is addictive? Nah...
It just happens to be the easiest way to get video content onto CC. I don't spend my time on Youtube, I just run across some interesting stuff when researching topics from multiple sources.
