This was Chuckie's formal coming out. Anyone with half a brain and an ounce of integrity knows that he is a far left liberal in his soul, like most everybody at NBC and MSNBC. If there was ever a doubt that Chuckie is a cultural warrior, this article should remove any remaining doubt about his political predilections.

You do realize that DNA testing was not available until well after WWII, don't you?

The incessant drone of virulent and often undeserved criticism of President Trump make it difficult to truly assess what his impact has been. It seems even the most generous are like Tom and allow that he has had some impressive accomplishments but is childish and churlish. It is hard not to appreciate how much of what he promised during the campaign that he has delivered on. I can't decide if his actions are deliberate and brilliant or foolish and haphazard. I'm not sure if it matters as long as he continues to move this country in the right direction. I honestly don't give a rat's patoot if the rest of the world likes him or not, as long as they have a healthy respect for us, and are not inclined to play us as they did Obama. I do think Dems running on an anti-Trump platform are on very thin ice.

Re: Don’t Believe Caller ID

I forgot about VoIP. I think any spoofing of an originating number should be banned.

Red_SC — Thu, 24 Aug 2017 06:44:30 -0000

I have complained to the FCC about this on several occasions, including face-to-face meetings with the Enforcement Bureau. The issue is that Automatic Number Identification, ANI, is inserted by the originating CO and can't be changed. Caller ID is an SS7 field and is inserted by the originating customer equipment, so they put any number they want. An example is when you see a Toll-Free number in the Caller ID. Toll-Free, i.e. 800#, are fictitious INCOMING numbers. You cannot originate a call on an 800 Toll-Free number. I have asked that spoofing be outlawed, but the FCC does not see a need for this. It has gotten totally out of hand. I got a call the other day where the Caller ID was MY NUMBER!!! I wish we could get a few thousand people complaining to the FCC about this. Maybe then they would do something.

"the United States is in far better shape economically than most other countries in the world." Typical defeatist left wing "logic." Just like the early years of the Obama reign when things were down and they said, "but think how much worse it could have been." The fact is, the world's economic condition is bad and getting worse. And, it is due to Obama's destruction of the US economy.

Folks, please, let's respect the faith of other people even if we are non-believers. The Global Warming believers have a right to their beliefs, and do not have to scientifically prove their religious beliefs, no matter how unscientific they may be.

Terry, I wasn't talking about you, but some of the other comments below. And, I agree with you about pushing a false cure. Maybe she was trying very hard to believe in it herself, so she went overboard in promoting it. Who knows? At a time like that, rationality is not exactly the guiding principle. She probably had a lot of pain, physical and mental, and a ton of anxiety to cloud her mind.

Regards, to your and yours also. Love the stories about the kids! They are a hoot.

Skep, making a "living" while having a looming expiration date was probably the last thing on her mind. Again, having faced it myself, financial issues were far, far down the list of things to think about.

Having faced cancer, I can understand her decision. Chemotherapy is a horrible treatment, with dubious value in many cases. Fortunately, I did not have to face that decision, but had it been suggested, I might have looked at alternative treatments as she did. There is no guarantee that amputation and chemo would work, and the loss of quality of life in her final years may not have been enough of an incentive for her to go through it.

These are very serious personal decisions and unless you are the one making it, I don't think they should be dissed or mocked.
