Keystone Pipeline leaks 210,000 gallons of oil in South Dakota

(CNN)A total of 210,000 gallons of oil leaked Thursday from the Keystone Pipeline in Marshall County, South Dakota, the pipeline's operator, TransCanada, said.

Crews shut down the pipeline Thursday morning and officials are investigating the cause of the leak, which occurred about 3 miles southeast of the town of Amherst, said Brian Walsh, a spokesman for the state's Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
This is the largest Keystone oil spill to date in South Dakota, Walsh said.

WH asks to borrow special hanukkiah to use in this year's celebration-Rabbi says "No"

From a rabbi in the DC area, passed on by Rabbi Darah Lerner of Bangor and copied from a friend:

“Just got off the phone with someone in Washington, D.C., who is helping to plan the White House’s Hanukkah Banquet this year. It seems the White House was interested in borrowing a special hanukkiah to use in this year’s celebration.
I told her we are honored to be asked.
I told her I wish I could say yes.
I told her that Hanukkah’s celebration of religious freedom, spreading light in the face of darkness, cultivating hope instead of fear, is antithetical to everything this White House has embraced.
I told her we would have to say no.
Then I received a second phone call, that this conversation should be kept confidential. I asked why. Because it wouldn’t be appropriate, I was told. Because this is how things are done in Washington, D.C., I was told.
I told her I would take that into consideration.
I did.
And then I wrote this post.”

What if Franken simply said:

"I'll resign from the Senate if the president, who bragged about being a sexual predator, resigns from his office?"

Republicans only have one plan. Sometimes they call it tax reform. Other times health-care reform

Let's Remember Together...

Remember how Donald Trump bragged on tape about assaulting women? Remember how a dozen women came forward with allegations? Remember how the GOP happily stood by him, took his money, and now enable his governing?

Trump is NOT calling for Moore to drop out

Trump refuses to say he doesn't support accused child sexual predator


Trump is NOT calling for Moore to drop out. @PressSec: "The president believes that these allegations are very troubling and should be taken seriously, and he thinks that the people of Alabama should make the decision on who their next senator should be."

Fascinating Video:
“I think the President has certainly a lot more insight into what he personally did or didn’t do and he spoke out about that directly during the campaign.“

Thank you Ellen 🐘🐘

Compassion, social intelligence, decisiveness, patience, wisdom. These are all qualities found in elephants and not found in the people allowing them to be killed for trophies.

Both sides aren't the same and never will be.

Liberals will condemn Al Franken without hesitation, he can go fuk himself, while conservatives made Trump President and will make a pedophile senator. Both sides aren't the same and never will be.
