Plus even more damaging leaks about Michael Bloombergs negative comments about women and stopandfrisk and even president obama. The Bloomberg Team blames the Trump Campaign, changing headline from what Michael Bloomberg has said. Will that work . Joe biden really going after Bernie Sanders big time saying quote it is not enough for bernie to disassociate himself.

Just a few minutes of my political journaling my political journey and some thoughts about the Republican Party in the age of trump. I would love to engage with you all. I was born in Washington State and developed an interest in politics at a very early age. We had a cabin in the Cascade Mountains on the east side of the state. I still remember as a kid driving with my parents to my cabin every weekend. We talked about Public Policy. We listened to the news at the top of the hour and i was a question asker. I would ask my dad why did the israelis and the arab world not get along. What about president nixon and Henry Kissinger . Those issues really fascinated me, along with sports. When i got to high school, i got into debates with my social studies teachers. They were liberal. I was conservative. Not because i t

Welcome to another edition of question time wrap. There was a big issue in the hallways the past couple of weeks. Veteran suicide in australia, mothers of veterans who have taken their own lives. Labour supports the move. It wants to know if the government will. My question is addressed to the Prime Minister. Every member of this parliament agrees that reducing the appallingly high rates of veteran suicides in australia should be an absolute priority. We have met with julianne finney. Her son died earlier this year, and her petition has already attracted a quarter of a million signatures. Will the Prime Minister agree with mrs. Finneys calls, joining with us . P. M. Morrison thank you, mr. Speaker. I have met with julianne finney just last week here in canberra. We had another very productive discussion. Her son david had died by suicide earlier this year. I also met with many other parents in sydney recently to discuss their proposal for a Royal Commission to be held for veteran suici
Honoured. Kelvin and otis pick will be their rumba. Kelvin, of course, was a late entry after another contestant dropped out because of injury. It feels, you know, as crazy as it sounds, really. I dont think you could have written that scenario. I wasnt in the original line up, like you say, and to be here, 12, 13 weeks later, going into the final, is, um. Yeah, its been incredible. And for their favourite dance, theyve chosen their samba. The judges have decided their pick for emma and anton will be their charleston. Emma says shes happy to still be in the contest, after a less than successful rumba in week seven. Its unbelievable, because i thought after rumba week that we were definitely going home, because we were bottom of the leaderboard. So its absolutely. Itsa dream. Im the biggest stritcly come dancing fan, and to actually say that ive made the final, i actually still cant believe it. And for their favourite dance, theyve gone for their viennese waltz.
