White House: Not pushing 2-state solution | World Israel News: "Peace is the goal, whether that comes in the form of a two-state solution if that’s what the parties want, or something else if that’s what the parties want,” he said. “A two-state solution that doesn’t bring peace is not a goal that anybody wants to achieve.”
For decades, the US position has been that Israelis and Palestinians must work through direct negotiations to establish two states living side by side. All negotiations until now have assumed that the two-state solution was the basis for future peace.
State Department officials on Tuesday expressed surprise at the comments, saying they were unaware of any policy shift in this regard. Three officials, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Department was seeking clarification on the White House’s comments, which came as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was having dinner with Netanyahu."

The Top 5 Regrets of The Dying | Collective-Evolution
The Top 5 Regrets of The Dying | Collective-Evolution: "5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.
”This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity overflowed into their emotions"

Jane Fonda: I Will Go to My Grave with 'Unforgivable Mistake'
Jane Fonda: I Will Go to My Grave with 'Unforgivable Mistake': "Fonda said she knew immediately that she had made a mistake and has apologized repeatedly, both privately and publicly.
She told OWN program “Oprah’s Master Class” that the event happened on the last day of her visit. She was tired, she said, and didn’t want to attend.
"I don't know if I was set up or not,” she said. “I was an adult. I take responsibility for my actions."
The soldiers sang a song and Fonda joined in with her “feeble Vietnamese.”
As everyone was laughing and singing, Fonda was led to a gun site, where she sat down.
“And I was laughing and clapping, and there were pictures taken."
As she walked away, Fonda says she suddenly realized that the pictures would be seen in the United States — and they would not look good."

Aaron Swartz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aaron Swartz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "PACER was charging 8 cents per page for information that Carl Malamud, who founded the nonprofit group Public.resource.org, contended should be free, because government-produced documents are not covered by copyright.[39][40] The fees were "...plowed back to the courts to finance technology, but the system [ran] a budget surplus of some $150 million, according to court reports," reported the New York Times.[39] PACER used technology that was "...designed in the bygone days of screechy telephone modems... put[ting] the nation’s legal system behind a wall of cash and kludge."[39] Malamud appealed to fellow activists, urging them to visit one of 17 libraries conducting a free trial of the PACER system, download court documents, and send them to him for public distribution.[39][40]"

FactCheck.org : Paul, Santorum Stretch Truth on Iran: "IAEA, Nov. 8: Since 2002, the Agency has become increasingly concerned about the possible existence in Iran of undisclosed nuclear related activities involving military related organizations, including activities related to the development of a nuclear payload for a missile, about which the Agency has regularly received new information.
And on page 8, the report states that Iran has carried out several activities relevant to developing a nuclear explosive device, including “acquisition of nuclear weapons development information and documentation from a clandestine nuclear supply network” and work on “development of an indigenous design of a nuclear weapon including the testing of components.”"

Social Tropism
Social Tropism: "quotes Obama saying that Iran is a "tiny" country that "doesn’t pose a serious threat." It implies that he fails to see Iran’s threat to Israel.
The picture changes dramatically when Obama’s full quotes are considered:
Obama actually said of Iran, Cuba and Venezuela: "These countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union" (emphasis ours).
Likewise, he said those countries don’t pose a serious threat to the United States "the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us."""
