android fan's JournalTrump brings birther charge against Cruz
Source: The Hill
Real estate tycoon Donald Trump cast doubt Monday on whether Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) can run for president because he was born in Canada.
"It’s a hurdle, somebody could certainly look at it very seriously," Trump said during a phone interview Monday on My Fox New York.
"He was born in Canada, if you know and when we all studied our history lessons, you are supposed to be born in this country, so I just don't know how the courts will rule on this."
Trump, who says he is exploring a bid for president in 2016, helped lead the "birther" movement that questioned President Obama's birth place, as well as the veracity of his birth certificate. He recently took credit for getting Obama to release his birth certificate while speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference in February.

And the birthers are off and running....
Next victim!
What makes Israel apartheid? Please cite proof and references.
I would like to see why, after tonight's election, seeing that the Joint List of Israeli Arab Parties were the third largest group to have seats in the Knesset.
Seems that they enjoy equal rights the same as Jewish citizens.
A simple but effective message: THE REPUBLICANS ARE TAKING AWAY YOUR MEDICARE AND SOCIAL SECURITY
it needs to be made into a meme and we have proof, thanks to the House Republican Budget that cuts both, and for what? To enrich their 1% buddies.
The Republicans are out of control, mentally insane, and needs to be removed.
Make this your MEME when meeting the senior folks who are voting Republican. For what?
You need to let every single American know that their safety net is in DANGER!
I wrote a letter to Senator Gardner simply asking for his resignation due to Logan Act and he wrote

Dear android fan
Thank you for contacting me regarding Iran. I appreciate you taking the time to write. It is an honor to serve you in the United States Senate and I hope you will continue to write with your thoughts and ideas on moving our country forward.
Concern about Iran's nuclear weapon capabilities has been growing for over a decade. In 2002, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) first discovered that Iran was engaging in a variety of nuclear activities which violated its obligations as a signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The international community has since pressured Iran to discontinue these activities through both diplomacy and sanctions. Recent negotiations have been led by the six P5+1 countries, which include the United States, China, France, Germany, Russia, and the United Kingdom, and a Joint Plan of Action (JPA) was agreed to on November 24, 2013. This JPA, which went into effect on January 20, 2014, provides Iran with sanctions relief in exchange for Iranian commitments to halt enrichment activities and neutralize existing stockpiles of enriched uranium. The deadline for a final nuclear accord has been set for June 30, 2015.
The leaders of Iran's regime, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, need to know that no deal with the United States will be considered permanent without the approval of the Congress which is why I joined 46 other United States Senators in signing an open letter to the leaders of Iran regarding negotiations with the United States about their nuclear program. The letter clarifies for Iranian leaders our constitutional system of government, and makes clear that any deal between President Obama and Ayatollah Khamenei that is not approved by the U.S. Congress could easily be modified or revoked in the future. The American people, through their representatives in Congress, will reject any deal that does not completely eliminate the threat of a nuclear Iran.
I believe that Iran cannot be allowed to develop nuclear weapons and additional action may be required to stop the progression of its nuclear program. On January 27, 2015, Senator Mark Kirk (R-IL) and Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) introduced S. 269, the Nuclear Weapon Free Iran Act of 2015. I am a cosponsor of this legislation and I also support Senator Bob Corker's (R-TN) S. 625, the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015. The Kirk-Menendez legislation would re-impose sanctions on Iran should negotiating parties fail to reach a comprehensive nuclear agreement prior to the June 30, 2015 deadline and mandate new sanctions should Iran continue to deceive the international community. Senator Corker's bill would require the administration to submit any potential agreement with Iran to the U.S. Congress. On January 29, 2015, the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs advanced the Kirk-Menendez legislation by a vote of 18-4.
There is no doubt that a nuclear-armed Iran would destabilize an already volatile region and directly threaten our close allies, such as Israel, as well as U.S. national security. Ever since its statehood, Israel has been a shining light for democracy in a politically unstable region. Iran's regime, however, refuses to recognize Israel's right to exist and has repeatedly said that it plans to "wipe Israel off the map." A nuclear-armed Iran is an existential threat to Israel. It is imperative that we do everything we can to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and from becoming nuclear-capable. We must also continue to provide all the support we can toward Israel. Standing by Israel is one of my top priorities in Congress.
Rest assured, I am closely monitoring the situation in Iran and will keep your concerns in mind should Congressional action be taken on this issue. Again, thank you for contacting me, and do not hesitate to do so again when an issue is important to you.
Sincerely,
Cory Gardner

Yuck. How would you respond with this foaming idiot?
This petition to the White House is nearly at 100,000 signatures. It's to charge the Rethugs with
the Logan Act violation. It was started yesterday!
I've been watching the number jump all day long. Sign, if you haven't already!

Help me understand this... about PA.. clear up some stuff...
I just wanted to be clear on a few things and will be open to correction...
1) We know Mahmoud Abbas is in his 10th year of a 4 year term. Why has he not called for a PA election?
2) Is BDS anti-Semitic or ineffective and harms the Palestinian cause? Why or why not?
