After all of the blood and treasure america has poured into the deserts of the middle east, i am committed to pursuing a different course, one that leads to victory for america. Through much work, we have done things that everybody said couldnt be done. Todays announcement validates our course of action with turkey that only a couple of weeks ago was scorned and now people are saying, wow, what a great outcome, congratulations. Its too early to me to be congratulated. But weve done a good job. We saved a lot of lives. Most importantly, we have avoided another costly military intervention that could have led to disastrous consequences, many thousands of people could have been killed. The last administration said assad must go. They could have easily produced that outcome, but they didnt. In fact they drew a very powerful red line in the sand, you all remember, the red line in the sand, when children were gass

The senators introduced Bipartisan Legislation that attempts to ease difficulties resulting from the legal status and more lenient state laws.

I felt this was a bail motion that had merit because Derick Almena never intended to hurt anybody. At night before fridays hearing Derick Almenas wife and friends gathered to light candles, incense and meditate hoping to send him good energy. Allison showed up in court to support her husband.
