  2. Netanyahu Blames Flagging Poll Numbers On Global Leftist Plot


    For now, Likud's ideological allies in parliament are a threat as they sap votes from the ruling party, Netanyahu said.

    "The right-wing is splitting," he told Voice of the South radio. "The right-wing must unite behind me and vote Likud."

  3. Netanyahu Assures Critics He Still Has Utmost Respect For U.S. Money

    WASHINGTON—In a concerted effort to ease growing tensions between the two nations, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu assured his critics Monday that he still has the utmost respect for U.S. money. “Relations between our two countries have at times been strained, but I promise you all that the entire Israeli government, myself included, still holds a high opinion of the United States’ cash,” said Netanyahu, emphasizing that his speech to Congress was not intended to show any disrespect for American funding whatsoever. “I appreciate everything U.S. money has done for Israel. Though we come at this issue from different perspectives, I have no doubt that we can overcome this disagreement and maintain positive relations between Israel and U.S. economic aid, as we always have.” Netanyahu added that he also maintained great respect for the U.S. military’s weapons.

    Rand Paul: I Signed Iran Letter In Order To Help Obama
    Posted: 03/15/2015 7:40 pm EDT Updated: 03/16/2015 9:59 am EDT

    "WASHINGTON -- The reason Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) signed onto a controversial letter to the leaders of Iran was to give President Barack Obama more leverage in his negotiations over the country's nuclear program, the would-be presidential candidate said Sunday.

    "There's no one in Washington more against war and more for a negotiated deal than I am," Paul said in an interview at SXSW in Austin, Texas. "But I want the negotiated deal to be a good deal. So my reason for signing onto the letter, I think it reiterates what is the actual law, that Congress will have to undo sanctions. But I also signed onto the letter because I want the president to negotiate from a position of strength which means that he needs to be telling them in Iran that 'I've got Congress to deal with.'"

    "The Kentucky Republican framed the issue as a matter of separation of powers, arguing that Obama ought to respect Congress' role in the process. He maintained that if he were in a similar situation as president, he would "run things in a different way."

    "Instead of stiff arming Congress, I would go to Congress and engage them," Paul said. "He needs to come and sell it to Congress, individually, member by member."

    "Forty-seven Senate Republicans sparked a firestorm last week after they addressed an open letter to Tehran, noting that any deal it reaches with the administration could be revoked by a president or Congress. Obama mocked the missive at the Gridiron dinner in Washington, D.C. on Saturday.

    “You don’t diminish your office by taking a selfie. You do it by sending a poorly written letter to Iran. Really. That wasn’t a joke," he said."

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    There are around 60 hospitals and medical centers in Israel.[38] In addition to general hospitals, there are a number of specialized hospitals throughout the country. Most of the hospitals are government-owned and operated by the Ministry of Health, although some are fully private.

    And CBS ran a story last night that ended with an interview with a young couple that said they were going to move out of Israel if Neti was re-elected. Because the cost of living and taxes were too high. And he wasn't doing anything about it.

    What else can happen when you make everything free or compulsory? The price of everything free and compulsory goes up. And as stupid as people are, they'll vote in some left winger who will promise to bring down prices and make everything more available and affordable. It happens in every country. That's why the world is in a mess.
