Ponderable

We've had the frozen assets since the Jimmy Carter administrations.
Iran has been and continues to be the number one supporter if terrorism world wide.
To be number 1, one needs cash.
Apparently our negotiators believed giving back the cash PLUS interest was a good thing.
Are you aware, we were going to lose a court case for holding those assets?
 
The deal allows Iran to continue enrichment of uranium.

True, up to about 3.7% U235, which is near the minimum usable in a nuclear power plant. In order to meet the requirement, Iran has to mix down any stocks already at a higher level, and are limited to 300 kilograms of enriched material in total. They are mothballing 2/3 of their enrichment centrifuges and converting one of their enrichment factories to other research.

Iran may have agreed to those limits because they realize, as have other technologically-advanced countries, that nuclear weapons development money is better spent on advanced conventional explosives (and other means of destruction) delivered by high-precision vehicles. Iran has already hinted that they have missiles capable of destroying most of Israel's defense infrastructure without using nuclear weapons.

As for North Korea, the weapon I fear most of theirs is their submarines. They have 10 or so obsolete Soviet Golf-class ballistic-missile subs which can legally patrol within a few miles of our coast. The bad news is that they certainly can make precision-delivery missiles, but the good news is that the Golf subs are diesel-powered, so they are easy for the USN to track.

Hmmm....what court would that be?

Edgartown, Massachusetts (CNN)Iran's former hard-line leader is pressuring President Barack Obama to return billions of dollars in seized Iranian assets, though it's almost certain his appeals will go nowhere.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's president from 2005-2013, demanded in a letter that Obama overturn an April US Supreme Court ruling that allowed the seizure of $2 billion worth of Iranian assets to compensate victims of a 1983 terror attack.
In his entreaty, Ahmadinejad suggested Obama had failed to deliver on a promise to improve ties to Iran by allowing the court decision to stand.
"It is with great regret that your explicitly announced undertakings ... including your public as well as written announcements to mend ties with the Iranian nation, and to make compensation for about sixty years of oppression and cruelty by different American governments against the Iranian nation, were never fulfilled," he wrote.
America's high court agreed earlier this year with a lower court decision permitting seizure of the US-held assets to compensate families of a bombing attack on a US Marine barracks in Lebanon. The 1983 bombing, which killed 241 US service personnel, was traced to Hezbollah. In 2003, a US federal judge ruled the terrorist group carried out the attack at the direction of the Iranian government.

Yea, these people...

The worst part about Hillary isnʻt that she is a law breaking liar, chrony capitalist, sexist. Itʻs that her supporters know that and donʻt care. They still want to crown a liar as the first woman POTUS.

A current events question - when one is within sight of a police shooting, as happened yesterday in El Cajon, and the police confiscate everyone's cellphones (as bystanders reported happened yesterday in El Cajon), how long until the phones are returned?

Is there an alternative to 911 that one can call when a non-lethal response is desired or indicated? Could we make one?

Just wade on in and handle it yourself.
If you dont want to, just wait and see what happens.
Do you have any idea how many 911 responses are made every day, and what percentage of those end in "lethal force"?
 
Acceptance rates at US medical schools in 2015 reveal ongoing racial preferences for blacks and Hispanics

Does how the student has to pay for medical school come into play? Even more salient, is the cost of applications skewing the result that your author is using to show some sort of racial bias? The application cost is often waived based on financial need bases. Many schools give cost preference to students who agree to do things like stay in the region for 5 years after finishing working as primary care physicians. I know a kid who is in residency after going to Grenada for med school strictly on a cost basis. Medicare will help pay your med school but you have to agree to see Medicare patients. How a student will pay for school has great bearing on where they apply.

No matter how you look at it, acceptance is not indicative of the race of new doctors graduating. Of the 18,705 new med school grads last year, 1,061 were black, 854 were Hispanic, 3,701 were Asian and the overwhelming majority were white at 10,992.

I wonder what the agenda of the author was using a statistic that has no bearing on outcome and using it to show a racial bias that has no bearing on the actual outcomes. What was your agenda for posting this meaningless data?

Of course it does. After acceptance.

Yes. It is skewed to show those that paid the application cost. LOL

Chump change compared to tuition......wait for it....if you're accepted.
Many schools give cost preference to students who agree to do things like stay in the region for 5 years after finishing working as primary care physicians.
If you're accepted.
I know a kid who is in residency after going to Grenada for med school strictly on a cost basis.
Is he asian or white?
Medicare will help pay your med school but you have to agree to see Medicare patients.
Just another way for taxpayers to pay for the tuitions of med students. Can you guess which ones?
How a student will pay for school has great bearing on where they apply.
According to your previous sentence, who will pay for school has great bearing on where they apply.

No matter how you look at it, acceptance is not indicative of the race of new doctors graduating. Of the 18,705 new med school grads last year, 1,061 were black, 854 were Hispanic, 3,701 were Asian and the overwhelming majority were white at 10,992..
So you believe in reverse discrimination? Lets apply that same reasoning to Professional Football, Basketball, and Baseball.

I wonder what the agenda of the author was using a statistic that has no bearing on outcome and using it to show a racial bias that has no bearing on the actual outcomes. What was your agenda for posting this meaningless data?
To point out discrimination against whites and asians.
