Normal. We cannot grow accustomed to this kind of disgraceful behavior. We cannot look at the poor behavior of already confirmed nominees and conclude that we should lower our standards when it comes to miss blanchards nomination. This is the United States senate, supposedly the worlds greatest deliberative body. We should examine the fitness and qualification of every single individual nominated to be the face of america in nations across the world.

We now know that this lunar trio had quite a sense of humor. Michael collins was once asked in an interview what he was thinking about in the moments leading up to the liftoff, and he joked, i was thinking of per deiem. We learned from buzz aldrin stepped off the ladder, he told them that he was being careful, not to lock the door behind him. When talked about the fact that most of the foes tows were of aldrin, Neal Armstrong joked, ive always said that buzz ald

The leaders convened to show, give a show of force, rather, against threats from north korea and also from china. They announced a new Joint Commitment to consult with each other in times of crisis, increase their military exercises, jointly in the region. Step up intelligence sharing, and also a new plan to convene annually at a new summit. The leaders did Call Out North Korea by name. But they were careful not to oreillyrile china. Make clear this is not the beginning of a new formal alliance. The president s domestic problems loomed in the background, too. Get some lunch .
