In the pacific islands, had an opportunity to hear a story and witness a video of this elder who was standing in the pacific ocean, up to his waist, and he had his children next to him, and they were probably up to about here. They were standing in the pacific ocean. As the lens zoomed back, they were visiting their elders in their graveyard. Their graveyard has been in the same place since time in memorial.

What i can say from the perspective of my planning is that that is not in my current work plan to address that issue. So that does not necessarily answer your question, and if that is the case, i will take you back. Any guess on a time limit . They have asked for months of clarification. Can we get a time we mi

In just a few minutes from now well hear from president elect joe biden who is expected to criticize the Trump Administration over its slow pace of rolling out the muchanticipated Coronavirus Vaccine. This comes hours after Vice President elect Kamala Harris and her husband received their vaccinations. And then after she got her shot, harris called on Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell to approve a relief bill. I recommended that folks receive a 2,000 check and so i would urge Mitch Mcconnell to put my bill on the floor for a vote.

More. The only way to claim it would not is to use more phony accounting. The proposal would also set a dangerous precedent by making private debt into public debt, not to mention that it would enact a job destroying tax that the senate has already rejected. Republicans have introduced bills designed to enable more High School Students to attend the college of their choice while creating jobs, while eliminating regulations that do formske a difference and required just for the sake of curiosity. The more involved the federal government becomes involved in something, the more it seems the cost. Health care is an example. In the early days of selling his healthcare plan, the president said it would Bring Health Care prices down. I warned them that we would see massive increases in not only what patients pay, but also what the federal government has to pay. Now many peoples premiums are up and continuing to climb.
