L, isi l, l new stress el nustra. Is her top turkish government officials, not necessarily others in the turkish state. They see them as their brothers. I think theres an ambivalence but it is not necessarily an indemnity. Why did they not pull their people out of there . Half a million refugees got out. They were outside of the city but also in the city. Kr g and between the angora could not be better. They have an evacuation plan, even here in washington. Where are you going to go . [laughter] [laughter] would have involved hopping in a vehicle and driving into a kurdish area. They did not take that decision. Somebody needs to ask why.

Women deserve equal pay for equal work and at a time when more women are breadwinners for a family, that benefits men, too. And because no parent who works fulltime should have to raise a family in poverty, its time for congress to follow the lead of state after state, get on the bandwagon, and give america a raise. Dads work hard. So our country should do what we can to make sure their hard work pays off to make sure life for them and their families is a little less stressful, and a little more secure, so they can be the dads their kids need them to be. Because theres nothing more precious in life than the time we spend with our children. Theres no better feeling than knowing that we can be there for them, and provide for them, and help give them every shot at success. Lets make sure every dad who works hard and takes responsibility has the chance to know that feeling, not just on one sunday, but every day of the year. Thanks everybody, happy fathers day, and have a great weekend. Hel

Has been putting out a lot of the wait time data as part of being very transparent about this. There has been concern that at the facility level they may not be looking at exactly the same data that we were releasing. We wanted to be very careful that we didnt have facility or Network Directors appear to be misleading their congressionals by saying, well, this is where we are and then having this National Data release Say Something different. So there was a caution put out to wait until we had distributed the data to them that was going to be released, and i will say it was an illworded document and it was followed immediately by a statement of clarity.

You know, we get terribly compromised if we dont if weve got one person saying one thing and another saying another, and we want to make sure as we mov
