As a child, I attended North Ave. Presbyterian. This was C.E. Woolman's church and many Delta Execs attended. When the Fox was to be torn down for an ATT office building the Delta folks pitched in to "save the Fox." The thing only exists due to the philanthropy of Delta pilots and managers. Then they host an event with J'Lo with the CEO of Qatar saying he is there to preside over our death.

Robert Gates, US Sec. Def., stated Qatar doesn't "know instances in which Qatar aggressively goes after (terror finance) networks of Hamas, Taliban, Al-Qaeda,"

Good on Ed. Good on 'em.

Trump already has his mind made up. Worthless meeting to attend... if your political leanings prevent you from understanding that, it might be time to think about snapping salute to without questioning. All politicians require deep questioning.

So let me get this straight.
1) We couldn't get an audience with Obama.
2) Got one with Mr Trump.
3) Stood him up.


Seems like an awesome strategy to me.

Obviously afraid to show, be sure and make your F2F during IROP though.

He's doing just fine by me. Go back and apply your 2018 earnings to the 2015 taxe laws and see how you did. I saved a ton.

But that's just from a personal perspective...

You want the laundry list of great things he's done all the while fighting congress and the media?
